Talk:Kia Niro

Weight figures

@Alawadhi3000: I see you readded weight figures that don't appear to match the official figures on Kia's own website here. Can you advise where they are from so we can see why they are different? Also, no need to duplicate info as there is now an infobox on the sub-sections like with the Hyundai Ioniq article with take the weight parameter for each variant.

@Bungle: Kia UK weight specs is not an "official figures" for the Kia Niro, its only official for the UK variant of the car, each country has different specs/trim/laws/requirements which can cause the weight to change from one market to another. The weight figures were from the home South Korean market. Alawadhi3000 (talk) 21:34, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

@Alawadhi3000: Not a problem, I thought there must be a reason, hence asking the question. Perhaps this can be clearer for each region (assuming it's no more than 3 variations), rather than a somewhat ambiguous range figure. I guess a ref for each would help too!

To add to this article

Basic information to add to this article (which anyone visiting this article would expect to find here, and which would help to make this article more properly encyclopedic): what exactly is the origin of the name "Niro"? Does it have anything to do with the Roman emperor Nero? If not, where did the company get this name? Is it a contraction of the two words "Near Zero"? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 21:15, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
