History/Overview

Since 2017, Kia has marketed its Niro to drivers seeking a practical compact vehicle with electrified powertrains. The hybrid version you’re reading about here is only one third of the puzzle, the rest of which consists of plug-in hybrid and fully electric versions that are covered in separate buyer’s guide entries.

What’s New/Key Changes From Last Year

For 2023, the Niro enters its second generation with more interesting styling, though the car’s basic station wagon-esque shape is carried over.

Available Trims

Kia offers the Niro in LX, EX, EX Premium, and SX trim levels. In all, a 1.6L gas engine works with an electric motor and a six-speed transmission to power the front wheels.

Standard Features

LX trim comes with 16-inch wheels, halogen headlights, heated front seats, air conditioning, an 8.0-inch touchscreen, and six-speaker audio. The basic safety suite comprises forward collision mitigation, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane keep/follow assist, and rear occupant alert.

EX adds roof rails, a heated steering wheel, a 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation, passive keyless entry, wireless phone charging, junction turning assist, adaptive cruise control, highway driving assist, and rear parking sensors.

EX Premium gains a sunroof, hands-free tailgate, a power driver’s seat with lumbar, and LED interior lighting.

Finally, SX models get 18-inch wheels, LED headlights/fog lights, rain-sensing wipers, leather upholstery, ventilated front seats with power passenger adjustments, upgraded audio, a head-up display, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and front parking sensors.

Fuel Economy

Kia’s fuel consumption estimates for the Niro are 4.5/5.2 L/100 km (city/highway).

Competition

The Niro is a bit of an outlier in today’s marketplace thanks to its station wagon shape. It’s closest – albeit much different looking – competitors are the Toyota Prius, Honda Accord Hybrid, and Toyota Camry Hybrid.
