Hybrid Performance and Range
The main reason to consider the Kia Niro PHEV is its plug-in hybrid powertrain that delivers enhanced performance and a longer driving range compared to its conventional hybrid sibling. The system generates 180 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque combined, which is more than enough for responsive acceleration and road-gripping traction on slippery roads.
Three drive modes allow you to choose between hybrid, gas, or electric-only power, with a combined EPA estimate of 108 MPGe in hybrid mode and 33 miles of electric-only range. On its own, the gas engine provides 104 horsepower and 106 pound-feet of torque, whereas the electric motor outputs 83 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque, which is more than enough for efficient city driving on zero tailpipe emissions.
Practical Interior Design
Inside, the 2025 Niro PHEV offers comfortable seating for five, with a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support adjustments and a six-way manually adjustable front passenger seat. The 60/40 split-folding rear bench offers 39.8 inches of legroom and allows you to adjust the cargo and passenger spaces to suit your needs.
The trunk has 19.4 cubic feet of capacity with the rear seats up, and you can fold one or both of the rear backrests to get up to 54.6 cubic feet behind the front seats. A dual-level cargo floor is standard and allows you to hide gear and other belongings from prying eyes. Heated front seats are standard across the lineup, while front seat ventilation and heated rear seats are available.
Next-Gen Tech and Driver Assistance
Kia equips the Niro PHEV with a modern 10.25-inch infotainment system. Built-in navigation allows you to plan routes and search destinations without having to connect your smartphone, but smartphone integration is standard on both trims, which means you can use your phone’s maps if you prefer them and access various communication and audio streaming apps.
Whether you’re listening to music or an audiobook, the standard six-speaker audio system or the available eight-speaker Harman Kardon audio system delivers exceptional sound quality. This SUV is also packed with driver assistance technologies. Standard features include navigation-based smart cruise control with stop-and-go and curve detection, a feature that improves safety when driving on highways. Intelligent speed limit assistance is also standard.
