In the Kootenays, we drive differently. We have steep mountain passes, long stretches of Highway 3 between towns, and an outdoor lifestyle that demands versatility. But we also face some of the highest gas prices in the country here in BC.
That is why hybrid cars like the Kia Niro are becoming a common sight in Cranbrook. It offers the torque you need for the mountains with the fuel efficiency your wallet deserves.
Some drivers worry hybrids are weak. Not the Niro. The electric motor provides instant torque, which is exactly what you need when climbing the hill towards Kimberley or navigating the winding roads to Fernie.
It’s not just an eco-car; it’s a crossover. Fold down the seats and you have room for hiking packs, fishing gear, or the weekly grocery haul from the strip. It fits the active Kootenay life without the bulk of a full-size truck.
With fuel prices fluctuating wildly, owning a Niro that sips fuel at roughly 4.5 L/100km means you spend less time at the pump and more time enjoying the outdoors.
High gas prices mean your truck or SUV might cost a fortune to fill. Value your trade here and switch to something more efficient.
