One car. Three different approaches to electrified driving.
The Kia Niro gives you the choice of Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid and fully electric power, making it an ideal starting point whether you're taking your first step towards electrification or you're ready to leave petrol behind completely.
Whichever version you choose, you get the same distinctive crossover styling, comfortable five-seat interior and practical approach to everyday family life.
The big decision is simply how you'd like to power it.
Which Kia Niro Is Right for You?
Want the benefits of electrification without having to charge your car?
The Kia Niro Hybrid could be the answer.
Its petrol engine works together with an electric motor and small battery, automatically switching between or combining petrol and electric power depending on the driving conditions.
The battery charges while you're driving through regenerative braking and the petrol engine, so there's no need to plug the car in.
It's particularly well suited to drivers who want improved efficiency but aren't ready – or don't have the facilities – to regularly charge a vehicle.
The Niro Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) takes electrification a step further.
Its larger battery can be charged from an external power source, allowing many shorter journeys to be completed using electric power alone.
When the battery's electric range has been used, the petrol engine is still there for longer journeys.
That combination makes a plug-in hybrid particularly appealing if you can charge regularly at home or work and most of your everyday journeys are relatively short, but you still want the flexibility of petrol for longer trips.
Ready to leave petrol behind?
The Kia Niro EV uses a fully electric powertrain, producing 201bhp and offering up to approximately 285 miles of WLTP combined electric range.
There's no petrol engine and therefore no tailpipe emissions while driving.
Smooth, quiet acceleration makes the Niro EV particularly relaxing around town, while its electric range gives it the flexibility to tackle longer journeys too.
Rapid charging capability means you can recharge while travelling, while a compatible home wallbox makes everyday charging straightforward.
Whichever powertrain you choose, the Niro has a distinctive look.
Kia's modern design language combines crossover proportions with bold exterior detailing and a contrasting rear pillar design that gives the Niro a particularly recognisable profile.
Its relatively compact dimensions make it manageable around town while still providing the raised driving position and versatility many drivers want from a crossover.
Depending on specification, larger alloy wheels and additional exterior detailing create an even more distinctive appearance.
The Niro has been designed to make efficient use of its interior space.
There's comfortable seating for five and useful luggage capacity, although boot space varies slightly depending on which powertrain you choose because of the different battery arrangements.
The Niro Hybrid provides up to 451 litres of boot space, making it particularly useful for shopping, pushchairs, luggage and everyday family duties.
Split-folding rear seats provide additional flexibility when you need to carry larger items.
It's practical without becoming unnecessarily large – one of the reasons the Niro works so well as an everyday family crossover.
Inside, the Niro combines a clean, modern dashboard with intuitive technology.
Depending on specification, features include:
Kia Connect also provides access to useful connected services and vehicle information.

Depending on powertrain, highlights include:

For drivers who want the Niro's manageable dimensions and efficient powertrain with maximum technology and comfort, Niro '4' provides the most comprehensive package.
Still not sure which one you need?
Here's the simplest way to think about it:
Choose Niro Hybrid if:
You want improved efficiency but don't want to plug your car in.
Choose Niro Plug-in Hybrid if:
You can charge regularly and want to make shorter everyday journeys using electric power, while keeping a petrol engine for longer trips.
Choose Niro EV if:
You're ready to go fully electric and can charge at home, work or using the public charging network.
There's no single right answer – the best Niro simply depends on how and where you drive.
The Kia Niro offers a comprehensive selection of safety and driver-assistance technology.
Depending on model and specification, features include:
Higher specifications add further systems designed to provide additional support on longer journeys and in busy traffic.
Whichever Niro you choose, you'll also benefit from Kia's renowned 7-year/100,000-mile warranty.
That provides valuable long-term reassurance whether you choose Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid or fully electric power.
Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid or fully electric – the Kia Niro lets you choose the level of electrification that works for your lifestyle.
With distinctive crossover styling, a practical five-seat interior and advanced technology, it's an easy car to live with whether you're commuting, tackling family duties or heading further afield.

More and more motorists are choosing to drive electric and hybrid vehicles. As such, you’ll find plenty of charging points available across the UK, whether you’re in town, at work, or on the motorway.
Charging your electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) at home is simple. You can either use a standard three-pin socket, or invest in a wallbox. The wallbox is a much faster solution, cutting charge times down by several hours. And with manufacturer deals or government incentives often available on wallboxes, it’s a cost-effective option too.
Many workplaces are starting to provide rapid-charging facilities for employees’ vehicles. Indeed, government help is available for businesses, such as the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS), which is provided by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEZ). If your workplace doesn’t yet have rapid charging, you can plug into a three-pin socket.
