Welcome to CarSceneKorea.
I introduce newly released Genesis, Hyundai and Kia cars.
And the car I have behind me right over there
is Kia Niro EV.
Just a word of an advice,
that this car is not officially debuted yet.
So this perhaps might be just a pre-production model,
but let me show you in detail what Kia Niro EV looks like
as well as go through some of the differences with Niro EV and Niro Hybrid.
For detailed exterior review and up close look of this Niro EV,
come check out that video right there.
I've covered it extensively already.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Niro EV.
And I think this is the same car that we have seen from the last auto show,
so if you haven't seen it go check that video out
but I pulled out the camera real quick
so that I can give you a walk around
as well as give you a difference in comparison
with the Niro EV to that of the HEV.
Let's get started with the front of the car right away.
I can immediately see that the front grille has been covered up completely.
So, the front of the grille is completely covered up
just like any other EV, except for the bottom portion
is cut open for sucking in the air
and some of the cooling essential for the EVs as well.
As for the headlights,
I can't see any difference compared to that of the hybrid model.
Come around here with their brand new Tiger Face identity,
is also shown on the upper grille and the portion as well.
The front cover is of course for the charging ports.
And when that one opens up probably they have the dc combo type.
All right, so let's go take a walk around the cladding right here
It's in silver. The plastic leading that we are familiar with.
However, this time, Niro EV does not get the piano black
or matte plastic; however,
it's just uh well finished in silver tone.
and that's also stretched out all the way to the side skirt right here.
And also is connected and carried out to the cladding over here as well.
This portion is a little bit disconnected.
I don't know what people might have to say about that.
But it comes down to this amazing blade right here, on the c-pillar.
This is the Niro's identity that separates the cars from its segments.
If not, all of the cars from the Kia family.
And on the rear bumper, the silver is connected and continued.
Look at this car from the back.
You can't really tell if it's the Niro EV or not.
If this color is exclusively to Niro EV,
then what might one might be able to tell that this is a Niro EV,
but not really the case.
So this outlet is also cut open.
There you go.
So you can see the opening right there.
So this is actually a functional blade
that air is traveled through right there.
So take a look at this profile.
And honestly there is nothing much different.
However, today's video is what? Focusing on the difference between the EV and the Hybrid.
So let me give you this the wheels and tires that is different.
Of course, not just about the design but size of the tires
215 55 17 and this is from Nexen and
Prize S.
Gotta look up, but you see?
Obviously, this is EV exclusive tire
for the comfort drive and also the best
I don't want to say mpg, but I still gotta get that vocabulary right.
So the best Kilowatt hour possible with this tire.
So the same size is used it's also the design.
So it's a square setup, same size all around. One, two, three and four.
And let's see let's see let's really pay a close look at what the difference is
But I just cannot find any.
So the wheels and tires, blades and the side skirt color
that is exclusively Niro EV.
Other than that,
you see, there really, really is merely nothing that I can tell from the outside.
It's completely tinted out.
I can't see anything.
Kia, of course, as we all know,
they have not released the car just yet.
So this is the prototype, if not,
maybe this should have been in the lab.
Probably this is what they have pulled out.
So we can't really see anything from the outside just yet.
This is the characteristic found on EVs and hybrid that
target towards the best mileage possible.
That is shield kind of shape that reduces the drag out of the car
and also marginal and minimal cut to ventilate the heat
from the brake pads and rotors.
However; the heat is not really there
because the EVs reduced their speed down first
using the regen brake on the car.
And that being said,
let's take a look at other EVs.
So here I have Kia EV6.
So that wheel pattern and design is also evidently found on this car as well.
So this is the front of the wheel of the EV6
marginal cuts and outlets to maximize the best mileage possible,
while keeping the design sleek in the shield pattern type.
So, here in front of me,
I have lists of EV Awards Collection for 2022.
Self-explanatory. So, I have Audi right here.
So that design will pattern is also seen together with Mercedes-Benz.
They have the EQS.
So for the EQS,
they have gone with the better choice of the design right there.
Polestar 2. Same thing. Mostly covered up.
Genesis GV60.
And this is BMW iX.
And also mostly, the wheel is all covered up.
It's not just around the corner, it's not even the future no more, the EVs.
These EVs that we see right behind us
is the production model cars.
So, EV no longer is the future but a viable option that I have.
