Kia Niro Plus Specs, Engines & Dimensions (from 2022) — First Generation
The Kia Niro Plus offers a blend of hybrid and electric efficiency in a practical SUV body. This first generation provides eco-friendly powertrains without sacrificing everyday usability.
The Kia Niro Plus offers three main powertrain choices. A plug-in hybrid pairs a 1.6-liter GDI engine with an electric motor and a robotic transmission for efficient commuting. A full hybrid uses the same engine but with a smaller battery, balancing fuel economy and convenience. The pure Electric version runs solely on battery power with an automatic single-speed transmission, ideal for zero-emission city driving. All versions drive the front wheels.
