The model
Read full Kia Niro reviewThis second-generation Kia Niro Hybrid is competitively priced, generously equipped and thrifty on fuel. The regular Hybrid is the best choice for most buyers who aren't ready to go fully electric with the Niro EV. However, don't rule out the PHEV if you're a company car driver. Either way, we reckon entry-level 2 trim makes the most sense.
The trim
See full equipmentMid-level 3 trim comes with everything most buyers will want – even heated front seats and wireless phone-charging. We reckon entry-level 2 trim represents better value for money, though.
The engine
See full engine specsAll versions of the Niro EV have a single 201bhp electric motor, which drives the front wheels and is fed by a 64.8kWh (usable capacity) battery. Acceleration is decent and a range of 250 miles on a charge is realistic, as long as you drive gently and the weather is mild.
