The model
Read full Kia Niro reviewThis second-generation Kia Niro Hybrid is competitively priced, generously equipped and thrifty on fuel. The regular Hybrid is the best choice for most buyers who aren't ready to go fully electric with the Niro EV. However, don't rule out the PHEV if you're a company car driver. Either way, we reckon entry-level 2 trim makes the most sense.
The trim
See full equipmentMid-level 3 trim comes with everything most buyers will want – even heated front seats and wireless phone-charging. We reckon entry-level 2 trim represents better value for money, though.
The engine
See full engine specsSlightly quicker than the Niro Hybrid but still outperformed by many plug-in rivals. Has an electric only range of up to 38 miles, although 30 miles is more realistic in real-world driving.
