Kia America is pleased to announce pricing for the 2024 Niro Hybrid. Entering the second model year of its second generation, the capable crossover is available in three distinct powertrains (HEV, PHEV, EV), with the hybrid rated at a best-in-class 53 MPG combined fuel economy and nearly 600 miles of total driving range. The Niro family of vehicles delivers best-in-class cargo room and offers an extensive list of standard features, with over a dozen collision avoidance and driver assist features.

The Niro Hybrid arrives with very few changes for 2024. For greater practicality and utility, a dual-level cargo floor has been added to all Niros except for base LX trim. On the color side, the Fire Orange Metallic exterior paint was dropped from the Niro palette. The Niro Hybrid comes in five well-appointed trim levels: LX, EX, EX Touring, SX and SX Touring.

00:03 On the journey toward more sustainable driving,
00:10 only one brand brings you three electrified choices
00:13 in one affordable family of vehicles, Kia,
00:17 introducing the all-new Kia Niro crossovers, the EV, the HEV,
00:23 and the PHEV.
00:25 Whichever version you choose, Niro
00:27 is larger and roomier than ever.
00:29 With cutting-edge technologies and an entirely new design
00:33 inside and out.
00:35 With its 64.8 kilowatt hour battery and 150 kilowatt motor,
00:40 Niro EV delivers up to 253 miles of all electric range.
00:46 And it charges from 10% to 80% in under 45 minutes,
00:50 thanks to standard DC fast charging capability.
00:53 An optional heat pump and battery warmer
00:56 help the Niro EV make the most of its battery capacity,
00:59 even on the coldest days.
01:01 Niro EV's battery can also be used as an onboard generator
01:05 to power everything from an air compressor to a coffee maker.
01:09 In the Niro Hybrid, a 1.6 liter four cylinder engine
01:13 joins forces with a 32 kilowatt electric motor
01:17 to deliver 139 horsepower and a driving range of up to 588
01:22 miles.
01:23 Not to mention, best in class fuel efficiency
01:26 of 53 miles per gallon.
01:28 In fact, no competing hybrid SUV comes close.
01:32 Corolla Cross Hybrid promises only 37 miles per gallon
01:36 combined.
01:37 And the RAV4 HEV delivers just 40.
01:40 Plus, Niro Hybrid models offer a quiet green zone drive
01:44 mode that uses navigation data to drive
01:47 on pure electric power based on location,
01:50 such as in residential areas or near schools and hospitals.
01:54 The Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid pairs a 1.6 liter engine
01:59 with a 62 kilowatt electric motor,
02:01 delivering 180 horsepower and 33 miles of all electric range.
02:06 That's a 25% improvement over the previous model.
02:09 Being a leader in electrified choices
02:18 isn't the only thing that makes Kia Niro stand out.
02:22 With its unique size and combination of features,
02:25 Niro is literally in a league of its own.
02:28 It's bigger in every possible dimension.
02:31 2.5 inches longer, nearly an inch wider,
02:34 and almost half an inch taller.
02:36 All adding up to best in class head and shoulder room
02:40 and class leading cargo volume.
02:43 Niro's interior spaciousness even
02:45 rivals vehicles a class up, with more leg room than RAV4,
02:49 along with comparable headroom.
02:51 Up front, Niro brings a fresh interpretation
02:54 to Kia's signature tiger nose grille.
02:57 It extends from the fender to the high tech projector
03:00 headlights and standard heartbeat daytime running
03:03 lights.
03:04 The taller roof line gives Niro a distinct CUV stance
03:08 and features roof rails that emphasize its capable image.
03:13 Available in a striking two-tone color palette,
03:16 the air blades define Niro's C pillar.
03:19 Air flows through the blades, which
03:21 thrust the wind past the standard LED boomerang tail
03:24 lights and out past the rear of the vehicle,
03:27 aiding aerodynamics and fuel efficiency in the process.
03:31 The bold design theme continues with a rugged skid plate
03:34 garnish on the lower bumper.
03:36 And for the first time on Niro, a smart power lift gate
03:39 is available, which can be set to open automatically
03:42 as you approach.
03:44 The hybrid and plug-in hybrid models
03:46 complete Niro's more aggressive look
03:48 with sporty, optional 18-inch wheels.
03:51 On the inside, Niro is inspired by Kia's design philosophy
04:02 of opposites united.
04:04 Horizontal and diagonal forms create a sense of movement
04:07 throughout the cabin.
04:09 The most eye-catching feature is Niro's expanse
04:11 of more than 20 inches of uninterrupted display surface.
04:15 The center console features a large storage compartment
04:19 that can quickly transform into a pair of cupholders.
04:22 The seats are slim and comfortable,
04:24 made from sturdy, lightweight gigasteel.
04:27 They're also heated and ventilated.
04:30 And throughout the EV's interior,
04:32 the materials used in manufacturing are 100% vegan.
04:36 The headliner is made of recycled wallpaper.
04:39 The door panels are covered in BTX-free paint.
04:43 And environmentally-friendly eucalyptus leaves
04:45 are integrated into the production
04:47 of other interior components.
04:49 Electrified vehicle customers enjoy a high-tech lifestyle.
04:59 Niro exceeds their expectations
05:02 with a thoughtful package of technologies
05:04 that provide comfort, functionality, and convenience,
05:08 such as standard dual climate control,
05:11 and an available Harman Kardon audio system
05:13 that's right at the driver's fingertips.
05:16 Or owners can go touch-free,
05:18 thanks to standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
05:22 In the EV and PHEV,
05:24 there's a simple, intuitive dial shifter.
05:27 And in the EV model, an available head-up display
05:30 that projects essential information
05:32 directly into the driver's line of sight.
05:35 To keep Niro's tech-savvy customer powered up
05:38 at all times, there's an optional wireless charging pad
05:41 up front and standard USB ports
05:44 in each front-row seat back.
05:46 Owners can even use an Apple Watch or a smartphone
05:49 to unlock and start the vehicle with Kia Digital Key Touch.
05:53 And by sending a simple text message,
05:55 others can be granted access remotely as well.
05:58 In terms of safety features,
06:00 our DriveWise Intelligent Advanced Driver Assistance System
06:04 comes standard.
06:05 It helps the driver avoid forward collisions,
06:08 blind spot accidents, rear cross traffic,
06:10 and pedestrians front and back.
06:13 Plus, Niro features Highway Drive Assist 2 on the EV model,
06:17 offering stop-and-go guidance
06:19 and automatic lane change assistance.
06:21 It also includes Smart Cruise Control
06:24 that uses machine learning to learn your driving style.
06:27 When it's activated, it replicates your driving habits,
06:30 so the vehicle's distance, acceleration,
06:32 and reaction speed feel natural to you.
06:35 With cutting-edge style for all your urban adventures,
06:39 a sustainable purpose that drives toward a greener future,
06:43 and three electrified options
06:45 to suit your specific driving needs,

06:51 for a new generation of eco-conscious drivers.
