Kia Niro Engines and Transmissions

Powertrain choices include the 1.6 DCT hybrid and 1.6 DCT plug-in hybrid, both pairing a petrol engine with electric assistance. These front-wheel-drive Kia Niro versions use a dual-clutch transmission that changes gears automatically, so you do not need to operate a clutch pedal.

Kia Niro Trims and Equipment

Kia Niro trim levels such as LX and EX are equipment configurations offered with the 1.6 DCT hybrid. When choosing between them, check the individual car’s comfort, infotainment and driver-assistance features: equipment can vary by market and model year, so the badge alone does not tell you everything.

Kia Niro Battery

The 1.6 DCT plug-in hybrid uses a lithium-ion battery that you can recharge from an external supply. Kia Niro battery capacity helps you assess its potential for electric driving, while temperature, speed and heating use affect actual range. Regular charging lets you make fuller use of its electric capability.
