Both the Niro Self-Charging HEV and PHEV employ a parallel hybrid system that switches between petrol and electric power, or uses a combination of both, and charges the battery whenever it can. Unlike conventional hybrids, the parallel system keeps energy loss to a minimum as the full output of both engine and electric motor is transferred through the transmission in a parallel system. ​

Durable and lightweight, the 1.56 kWh (HEV) and 8.9 kWh (PHEV) lithium-ion polymer battery efficiently controls electrical e n e r g y a n d c o o l s m o r e effectively. Safely positioned below the rear sears, the battery comes with a 7-year warranty. ​

Kinetic energy produced when decelerating or coming to a stop is captured and turned into electricity. This in turn is used to help recharge the battery. ​

Providing up to 43.5 PS on its own, the electric motor also assists the petrol engine in hybrid mode, and recharges the battery during deceleration​

When starting out from a stop, the hybrid system relies entirely on power from the electric motor. This helps reduce fuel use in stop-and-go traffic.  ​​

During mild acceleration, the system also uses power exclusively from the electric motor. It has ample pickup to help you increase your speed.​​

When accelerating harder, the petrol engine works together with the electric motor to get the Niro up to the desired speed.​​

When cruising at relatively constant speeds, the system goes into power-assist mode, where the petrol engine is the main source of drive power.​

The system’s regenerative braking takes advantage of every decrease in vehicle speed, capturing energy and storing it in the battery for future use.  ​
