The model has been a consistent best-seller since its launch in 2021, and a comprehensive refresh for the 2023 model year adds new comforts and features to make the Niro EV an even more attractive option than before. Here are the key highlights of this compact all-electric SUV.

High-End Performance, Generous Range

The Niro EV might be compact in design, but its engineering offers the amount of power more often found on much larger SUVs. A single electric motor is paired with a 64.8kWh battery, delivering 201 horsepower and 188lb-ft of torque to front-wheel drive via a single-speed reduction gear. The result is nimble performance with all the near-instant acceleration you’d expect from an electric powertrain, provided at a highly efficient energy consumption of just 2.1Le / 100km combined.

Moreover, the Niro EV offers a healthy maximum driving range of 407km, with a DC fast charge time of as low as 43 minutes, making even lengthy road trips a hassle-free experience. For even more convenience on the road, the Niro’s battery can be used as a 120V AC power supply to power small appliances and more, giving your camping trips all the comforts of home.

Premium Interior and Infotainment

The Niro EV/s interior has been completely redesigned for the 2023 model year, adding an extra dimension of upscale comfort alongside a wealth of advanced technology. Heated front seats are standard, with ventilated front and heated rear seats available as options. The available synthetic leather upholstery is matched by a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel with integrated audio controls.

While the interior offers a striking level of upscale comfort, the tech area is where the Niro EV really makes an impression. The dash is dominated by a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster backed up by a multimedia touchscreen of the same generous size, combining with an optional head-up display to provide a stunning amount of digital real estate.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto offer seamless smartphone integration backed up by a wireless charging pad, while the Kia Connect system offers a collection of remote services, including engine stop and start, climate-control adjustment, lost vehicle locator, and more.

Enhanced Safety and Driver-Assist Technology

Every Niro EV has an extensive suite of safety and driver-assist technology for full peace of mind on the road. Key standard features include:

• Lane-departure warnings with automatic corrective steering
• Blind-spot monitoring system to warn of risky lane changes
• Rear cross-traffic alerts with automatic emergency braking
• Forward collision alerts with junction turning awareness
• Smart cruise control with highway drive assist

Higher trims add even more, including front and rear parking sensors, automatic rear braking, rain-sensing wipers, and one-touch automatic parking ability to squeeze the Niro EV into even the tightest parking spaces.
