UK prices for the 2019 Kia Niro

Kia dealers are now accepting orders for the refreshed Niro. This compact crossover – which is still offered in Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid guises – has received a mild design update and some specification enhancements.

On the outside, the grille, bumpers and light clusters are all new. Inside, a more premium environment is promised thanks to better materials and soft-touch surfaces.

Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid (2019) Front Side

While the entry-level ‘2’ trim grade makes do with a centrally-mounted 8” touchscreen for the infotainment functions, the ‘3’ and ‘4’ variants gain a 10.25” item. The bigger display is also intended to work with Uvo Connect, a recently-introduced telematics system that uses an on-board SIM card to access real-time information about traffic conditions, local fuel prices and various other things. There’s a Uvo smartphone app, too.

Kia Niro Hybrid (2019) Rear Side

Appearing for the first time are an electronic handbrake, larger rear brakes and steering wheel paddles to manually control the standard six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. An improved range of driver aids includes Lane Following Assist, which automates the acceleration, braking and steering when travelling along a motorway.

UK on-the-road prices for the 2019 Niro are:
  • ‘2’ Hybrid – £24,590
  • ‘3’ Hybrid – £26,770
  • ‘3’ Plug-in Hybrid – £31,945
  • ‘4’ Hybrid – £29,270

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
