Enhanced comfort to keep you refreshed
- Hybrid/EV mode
-
Hybrid/EV modecloseAt the touch of the HEV button located next to the gearbox, you can prioritize between EV and hybrid mode. In EV mode – ideal for urban driving – the system uses only electric energy for a zero-fuel, emission-free drive. Thanks to the capabilities of the large battery, you can enjoy an impressive range of up to 65 km* of inner-city driving. And when there’s insufficient battery charge, the system simply switches automatically to hybrid mode. This mode operates both energy sources – using the petrol engine and the electric motor simultaneously to power the car.* Within city-driving conditions or 49 km on a combined WLTP cycle.
You’ll want to spend a lot of time behind the wheel of the Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid.
Setting the tone with ambient lighting on the dashboard, clean lines and fresh materials,
the spacious interior delivers extraordinary comfort.
High style, a high roof and deep comfort
Unusually spacious for a hybrid, with ample headroom,
shoulder space and legroom, the Niro interior invites you to stretch out and relax.
