SUSTAINABILITY
Say hello to a greener world where you can enjoy whisper-quiet commutes and no tailpipe emissions. Thanks to the Kia Niro EV, this future is within your reach.
Maximize Your Miles, Minimize Your Carbon Footprint
There are endless reasons to drive an EV. Two reasons tied for the most popular benefit are the production of zero tailpipe emissions and the increased driving range. Let’s explore both reasons and some others in more detail:
- Zero tailpipe emissions: Eliminating the internal combustion engine (ICE) means no tailpipe emissions are produced when you travel, helping lead to a greener tomorrow.
- Extended driving range: The Kia Niro EV lets you go the distance thanks to its EPA-estimated 253-mile driving range.*
- Portable generator: The On-Board Power Generator allows you to bring power along with you to charge your laptop while on the go.
- Near-instant torque: This lightweight crossover provides near-instant torque for an acceleration time (0 to 60 MPH) in only 7.1 seconds.
There are many reasons to drive the Kia Niro EV—which ones are you most excited about?
Sustainable Tech to Keep You Going
Beyond its all-electric capabilities, the Kia Niro EV enables you to go the extra mile thanks to its impressive performance tech. First up is the 10.25-inch instrument display. Positioned behind the steering wheel, this data-focused display provides essential information—such as range, safety alerts, and more—within view. This way, you always know when to break for a quick charging session.
Speaking of charging, the Kia Niro EV allows you to charge at home or on the go. Take advantage of a portable charger that can fit into any 120V or 240V outlet. When on the go, visit a public charging station. What’s even better is your Kia Niro EV comes with up to 2,000 miles of complimentary charge through Electrify America.
INNOVATION
As someone who likes to push boundaries, you’ll love the advanced capabilities of the Kia Niro EV.
Safety in Numbers
Safety is a top priority. That’s why the Kia Niro EV comes standard with 20 driver-assistance features. Using advanced monitoring technology, these features constantly scan your surroundings and alert you to potential hazards you may have missed.
Some of these standard features include:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist, & Junction Turning Detection
- Highway Driving Assist
- Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go-Curve
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
In addition to travel-based safety features, the Niro EV has ample parking features, such as a standard Park Distance Warning-Rear. For complex maneuvers, you’ll love the optional Remote Smart Parking Assist feature, which can automatically park and unpark your crossover with a button!
Entertained Wherever You Go
Whether you're on your way to work or on a road trip, the Kia Niro EV comes equipped with all the entertainment features needed to make your commute fun. As soon as you slide into the driver’s seat, connect your smartphone via Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™, and watch the 10.25-inch central touchscreen display transform into your phone’s interface.
Audiophiles will love the optional Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System, which, thanks to its strategically placed speakers, creates an immersive audio experience.
COMFORT
No matter where you go, your Kia Niro EV is ready to help you feel right at home.
Room for the Whole Crew
Your SUV must have flexible dimensions. This is the only way to ensure your vehicle can keep up with your ever-changing cabin needs. Thanks to its 99.7 cubic-foot interior volume, there’s ample room for passengers and gear alike.
