起亚近日在韩国釜山车展发布了NiroEV电动车。车厂还公布了该车的一些关键数据。新车将提供两种不同容量的电池组，分别为39.2千瓦时和64千瓦时，最大续航里程可达到236英里（约合380公里）。不过这只是搭载大容量电池时的续航里程，如果搭载39.2千瓦时电池组，续航里程将缩短至149英里（约合240公里）。该车可采用100千瓦充电桩充电（我们认为最多80千瓦充电桩），如果搭载64千瓦电池组，车辆0-96公里/小时加速时间7.8秒。预计该车在欧洲和美国发布时将提供更多细节。起亚表示，Niro EV目前在韩国已经收到5000辆订单。

 

Kia Niro EV Gets Proper Debut In Korea, New Specs Released

This time around, the Niro EV had a more proper reveal. It was shown at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea where the press was actually on hand to capture the moment.

 

The first showing of the Niro EV was in front of a tiny gathering on Jeju Island and it went largely unnoticed by the press, but not by us. In addition to the reveal of the production version of the pure electric crossover, Kia released some vital new information on this soon-to-be available electric CUV. Like the Hyundai Kona EV, the electric Niro will be offered with two different battery capacities (only the bigger battery is expected to be offered in the U.S. though):

39.2 kWh

64 kWh

 

Range for the big battery is claimed to be 236 miles, while the smaller battery pack offers up some 149 miles per charge. The similar Hyundai Kona goes further per charge, but it’s slightly smaller.

 

As for newly released specs, we see the ability to charge on a 100 kW unit (at up to 80 kW, we believe) and a zero-to-60-time of 7.8 seconds with the bigger battery. We expect to have more details on the European and U.S. launch schedules of the Kia Niro EV in the near future.

 

Kia claims to have received 5,000 orders for the Niro EV in Korea, where it will be sold first later this year.
