Introduced as its second-generation, the 2024 Kia Niro offers a 1.6L 4-cylinder engine, which is part of a hybrid system that creates 139 horsepower. An all-electric variant provides 201 horsepower with a 64-kWh battery and a single-speed transmission. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard, and FWD is the only drivetrain available. Trims for the Niro include the LX, LXS, Touring, Touring SE, and EX Premium. Notable safety features include forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane-keeping assist in all models. On the tech front, every Niro has an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, with a 10.3-inch upgrade available for EX Premium. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the range, as is a wireless charging pad. Substantial updates in this new generation include restyled front and rear ends and improvements in overall aerodynamics.
