AOL Cars took the Niro Prototype out for a quick spin:
http://cars.aol.co.uk/2015/12/07/first- ... prototype/our test route consisted of a bit of follow the leader through rural Korea in a car covered in cladding it's quite hard to tell, but from what we could gather it was refined and the power train was smooth. It switches quickly between petrol engine and electric propulsion with a noticeable boost from the latter. We found on potholed, bumpy roads it rode well and despite the added weight of those batteries it didn't feel like a slouch. But that said, we need a proper drive on UK roads, before we can tell you much more.
