Trims and Powertrains

Kia presents the Niro PHEV in two trims: EX and SX Touring. Under the hood is a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder gas engine paired with an electric motor and 11.1-kWh hybrid battery to create 180 combined horsepower. Topping off this powertrain is a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and front-wheel drivetrain.
