Kia has released the first teaser image of its Niro hybrid crossover, which is expected to make its debut in 2016.

The Niro will use a 1,6-litre engine that will work together with an electric motor. By itself, the petrol unit pushes out 77kW and 147Nm of torque, so we’re expecting a combined power output somewhere in the 100kW region.

Little else is known about the car at this stage, but it will likely make its debut in production-ready guise in 2016, with sales following shortly after.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
