Kia Achieved Guinness World Record® With 2017 Niro

Niro Guinness World Record

The 2017 Kia Niro is now an official world record holder after being presented with a Guinness World Record® title for the lowest fuel consumption of a hybrid car after driving across the USA from coast to coast. Co-Drivers Wayne Gerdes of Carlsbad, California and Robert Winger of Williamsburg, Virginia drove the Niro 3,715.4 miles from Los Angeles City Hall all the way to New York City Hall. Throughout the entire trip, they used only 48.5 gallons of gas which comes out to 4.1 tanks and achieved the record-setting MPG of 76.6!

“We’re extremely pleased with the Niro’s record-breaking performance,” said Orth Hedrick, vice president, product planning KMA. “We set out to build a vehicle that offers real-world utility, great looks and fantastic mileage, and setting the Guinness World Record® title confirms our achievement.”

This all-new vehicle is the first-ever Urban Crossover Hybrid to be created by the Kia brand and it was built and designed as a way of marrying the convenience of a crossover with the fuel-efficiency of a hybrid. Along with its attractive design and spacious, comfortable interior, this model is also offered with a long list of available driver assistance features that include Autonomous Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Change Assist, Lane Departure Warning, UVO3 with Apple CarPlay™, Android Auto™, 7” Touch Screen, available Smart Cruise Control, navigation, and a Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System.

Look out for the arrival of the 2017 Kia Niro in dealerships sometime in the first-quarter of 2017!
