Stay Safe in a 2018 Kia Niro

Aug 7, 2018

When the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) announces a model is a Top Safety Pick Plus (TSP+), there’s a lot that goes into that designation. TSP+ is the highest safety rating IIHS awards, and in order to earn it, a vehicle must earn the best rating – “good” – in six separate crash tests, as well as one of the top two ratings in a seventh crash test and front crash prevention. And on top of all that, it must also get the highest rating for headlight testing. In other words, when IIHS designates a model a TSP+, drivers know to take the rating seriously. That’s why here at your Kia dealership serving Kenosha, WI, we were thrilled to hear that the 2018 Kia Niro has been awarded the coveted Top Safety Pick Plus designation.

The 2018 Kia Niro is a popular hybrid model, and not surprisingly, boasts some impressive and innovative safety technology. The available Forward Collision Warning System helps drivers avoid potential crash situations, helped by the Autonomous Emergency Braking System. It can also be equipped with high-intensity discharge headlights, which helped the model earn its TSP+ designation.

Kia Motors vice president for product planning, Orth Hedrick, explained that “the Niro is one of our most popular models,” and added that the TSP+ designation “provides yet another reason why it should be the top choice for anyone shopping for a small hybrid SUV.”
