WASHINGTON, D.C., January 31, 2018 – Recognizing environmental achievement in the #auto industry, the #Kia #niro has been named Green Car Journal’s 2018 Green SUV of the Year™.  Since the #niro went on sale early last year, it has been a popular choice for consumers seeking a hybrid offering #crossover utility and great looks.  The #niro beat out crossover/SUV finalists from Chevrolet, Mini, Mazda, and Volvo for the coveted award.

“We’re thrilled to have received this special distinction from Green Car Journal,” said Orth Hedrick, vice president, planning & strategy, #Kia Motors America.  “The #niro represents years of hard work by #Kia to provide a hybrid that is fun, versatile, economical and a pleasure to look at and drive.  It’s immensely gratifying to all of us that the #niro is recognized by Green Car Journal as the 2018 Green SUV of the Year.”

 “The #Kia #niro impresses on many levels with its appealing style, functionality and features,” said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and GreenCarJournal.com.  “What’s equally important is its hybrid powertrain and affordable price point, a combination that makes the #niro accessible to a great many buyers who wish to drive with a smaller environmental footprint.”
