The 2023 Kia Niro is a compact hybrid crossover that exemplifies Kia's commitment to eco-friendly transportation. It comes with a regenerative 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor that generates a combined output of 139 horsepower. The drivetrain utilizes a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, routed to the front wheels. The Niro is offered in LX, EX, Touring, and Touring SE trims, all boasting an array of advanced safety technologies including standard forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, and lane-departure warning. The infotainment system, anchored by an 8-inch or optional 10.25- inch touchscreen, supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For 2023, the Niro benefits from a mild exterior and interior makeover that further elevates its appeal.
