Here you can get an idea of the size the new Kia Niro will be, Kia engineers are currently testing it against the Volkswagen Golf GTE.

Unlike the Golf GTE, the Kia Niro won't have the ability to recharge itself at launch. However, after a year, a charge socket will be added and a plugin variety will be launched.

As you may have noticed from the photo showing it next to the Golf, the Kia Niro is relatively small. This prototype doesn't seem to have AWD or independent rear suspension. Its power will come from a 1.6-litre GDI producing 105 PS (77 kW) and 147 Nm (108 lb-ft).

Smaller than I thought to be honest - I was expecting more of an SUV size car - anyone else expecting the same?

I expected the Niro to be around the size of a Golf. The VW Golf was the first car I have ever owned and seeing as the Niro is similar in size is very fine by me.
