[Kia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kia-ev9-advntr-and-pv5-wkndr-concepts) has released the 'Niro Plus Camper kit,' an add-on vehicle kit to its [compact minivan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nissan-and-plugvan), the Niro Plus. This camper kit brings a number of [camping essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chrysler-pacifica-grizzly-peak-concept) such as foldable chairs, tables, and placemats. On top of this, the rear seats of the Niro Plus can be folded completely down, turning the cabin of the vehicle into an extension of any camping ground. This is also an excellent addition for rainy days where travelers can sit comfortably in the back of the van while enjoying the rain.

With this camping king, Kia is encouraging fans of its vehicles to travel to the countryside for a quick getaway, or travel cross-country while camping along the way. The vehicle itself boasts a 244-mile range while emitting a total of zero GHGs. This minivan is a first-choice option for campers and city commuters alike.
