The 2022 Kia Niro is a compact hybrid SUV offering strong fuel economy alongside comfort and utility. It is available in four trims: LX, LXS, Touring, and Touring SE. Power comes from a hybrid system pairing a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor, producing a combined 139 horsepower. This is paired to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, with no all-wheel drive option. The Niro boasts an impressive list of standard features including an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the Kia Drive Wise suite of safety technologies. Changes for the 2022 model year are minor, focusing primarily on shuffling of standard and optional features between trims.
