To learn more about what features these rides bring to the table, continue reading.

Performance

Making your next set of wheels a hybrid is easy with the 2021 Niro Hybrid and PHEV. While most battery- or partially battery-powered models have been known for having lackluster mechanics, the two aforementioned rides will fiercely break those molds with what they've got brewing beneath the hood. They both set the bar high by each flaunting the standard 1.6L 4-cylinder engine and Full Parallel Hybrid System to put you in command of 139 combined horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of combined torque. To further prove itself, the Niro PHEV has a 560-mile total driving range¹, while the Niro Hybrid asserts its superiority with an estimated 53/48/50 MPG city/hwy/combined² fuel rating.

Technology

It only makes sense for the 2021 Kia Niro Hybrid and PHEV to have stellar technologies for utmost entertainment as you cruise down Common Street to your next destination. Within the PHEV, you can choose an available 10.25-inch touchscreen³ that gives you access to a voice-command navigation system⁴ to reach new heights without the stress of getting lost. For stellar sound quality to amplify even the shortest commutes, consider the Niro Hybrid's optional 8-speaker arrangement brought to you by Harman Kardon® with Clari-Fi™⁵. If you are keen on your driving choice having standard wireless smartphone integration, you'll appreciate that the PHEV comes equipped with Android Auto™⁶ and Apple CarPlay®⁷. Finally, when considering your next method of powering up your device, these rides are here to provide an available wireless charging station⁸ that is located in the center stack. 

Safety

Innovation goes beyond audio and convenience features, as the Kia Niro PHEV and Hybrid are both fully equipped to keep you protected as you go about your daily travels. The Hybrid offers available Blind Spot Collision Warning⁹ and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning¹⁰, both of which are standard on the PHEV. These two technologies will act as a second pair of eyes when maneuvering out of parking spots or switching lanes by alerting you when another motorist is too close for you to make the appropriate move. And with Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go¹¹ optional on select trims of both models, you'll have the peace of mind knowing that your set of wheels will work to stay at a preset distance from the driver in front of you to avoid impact.
