According to reports, Kia will also bring another crossover to New York Auto Show.
The Kia Habaniro concept, according to the brand, will display the brand’s more spicy side at the New York Auto Show. The name of the car is a play on habanero hot pepper, in case you missed the joke. According to Just auto, there will also be a more mysterious crossover.
Revealed:
The picture was published in the New York Auto Show newsletter . It also included an image of the Habaniro concept. Although the Niro was used, the company redesigns the crossover’s design. The front end is completely new, with a W-shaped stripe of LEDs running across the grille. Instead of the five-door crossover, this body features a three-door layout. The model has a smooth styling, with a three-tone scheme that includes black at the front, silver at the majority of the body and red at the rear. The entire passenger area is blacked out. This suggests that Kia’s designers have not yet created a cabin for the vehicle.
The Habaniro has no additional information, but its similarity to the Niro suggests that it could be electrified. There are two versions of the Niro: a hybrid version with 139 horses (104 kilowatts) and a plug-in hybrid. A fully electric version that can go 239 miles (385 km) on a single charge is also available.
The internal codename SP is used for the mystery model. It’s a compact crossover, according to Only Auto. According to speculation, Kia will export the model from an Indian factory. According to reports, the vehicle is positioned above the Soul, but below the Niro.
