Both Niro PHEV trims use a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 104 horsepower (77 kilowatts) and 106.3 pound-feet (144 Newton-meters) on their own. With the electric motor, the total output is 180 hp (135 kW) and 195 lb-ft (265 Nm). The model uses a six-speed dual clutch gearbox.
The battery is an 11.1 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion polymer pack. The EX can go 33 miles (53 kilometers) on electric power from a payload, and the SX drops that figure down a bit to 32 miles (52 kilometers).
The powertrain makes this model reach 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in 9.6 seconds for the EX and 9.8 seconds for the SX. The EX has a top speed of 104 mph, and the SX runs out of steam at 100 mph (161 kph).
Upgrading to the SX Touring class adds several features. The model rides on 18-inch wheels, not 16-inch chips for the EX. The side mirrors have integrated turn signals and power-folding functions. Chrome trim appears on the door handles and under the bumper. Plus, there’s a power-opening hatchback.
Inside, passengers on the SX Touring get a standard sunroof and vegan leather seats. Residents listen to Harman Kardon’s eight-speaker stereo. LED lighting is present throughout the cabin.
Kia announced the price of the Niro Hybrid at the end of September. The table below shows the costs of the non-plug-in variants for comparison.
