Kia NIRO FAQs

• Is the Kia Niro available in Australia?

  Brand new to Australia, the Kia Niro electric vehicle is the latest addition to this crossover SUV range. The other stars of this series include hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants, but no matter which option you choose, this small unit is a delight. Borrowing inspiration from the platform and powertrain of the highly-successful Hyundai Kona, the Kia Niro is a different take, but one that still strikes all the right notes at a respectable price-point as well.

• Is the Kia Niro fully electric?

  While the Kia Niro was first defined by its hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants, there is also a fully electric version for those who want to ditch the days of the combustion engine entirely. Powering the Niro range, alongside a sturdy engine, is a 64-kWh battery that works with a 201-horsepower electric motor. That potent combination makes for a dynamic driving experience, and you may be left wondering why you didn't make the switch to electric sooner.

• Is the Kia Niro comfortable?

  Many a car buyers are making the conversion to hybrid and electric because they offer a smooth and quiet ride, not to mention, the ability to diminish their impact on the environment. It's no exception with the Kia Niro, which is a compact crossover that is joyous in every respect, and economical to run. With a stylish cabin to boot, the Niro is not just elegant and efficient, it is extremely comfortable and serene, while the high-riding position is invaluable for giving you a supreme view of the road.
