2023 Kia Niro

The 2023 Kia Niro is available in five fun trim levels, starting with the LX, which features 16-inch alloy wheels and rear privacy glass. The EX adds roof rails, while the EX Touring comes with a power sunroof, 18-inch alloy wheels, and LED fog lights. You'll also find gloss-black exterior accents and power-folding side mirrors. The SX lets you take advantage of a smart power tailgate for easier cargo loading, and the SX Touring offers LED projector headlights. No matter what trim you choose, your Niro will look amazing in colors like Cityscape Green, Mineral Blue, and Fire Orange Metallic.

Pop open the Niro's hood, and you'll find a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with continuously variable valve timing. This state-of-the-art engine teams up with a full parallel hybrid system to generate a total system horsepower of 139 and a total system torque of 195 pounds-feet.

The 2023 Kia Niro comes equipped with a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that improves engine response while ensuring you enjoy swift acceleration and easy handling each time you take the wheel. A sport mode provides an even livelier performance, while an eco mode helps the Niro conserve fuel. Regenerative braking returns excess energy to the hybrid system, while a fine-tuned suspension makes your drive smoother and more comfortable. An agile front-wheel-drive system helps you maneuver through traffic and take tight corners.

Inside the 2023 Niro, you'll find seating for five with plenty of headroom or legroom for everyone. When the rear seats aren't occupied, you can fold them flat for 63.7 cubic feet of cargo volume. The LX features cloth seating surfaces, while the EX and EX Touring combine SynTex and cloth upholstery. With the SX and SX Touring, you'll enjoy SynTex seating surfaces. Available amenities include a power driver's seat, front seats with heating and ventilation, and a wireless phone charger. The LX has an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen display, while the upper trims feature a 10.25-inch display.

The 2023 Kia Niro comes equipped with a forward collision-avoidance assist that can detect vehicles as they enter your path and apply the brakes when it senses an impending collision. If a vehicle is traveling in your blind-spot zones, you'll receive a warning from the blind-spot monitor. When you're driving in reverse, the rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist will alert you to traffic approaching from either side of the vehicle. Lane following assist helps you avoid unintentional drifting, while adaptive cruise control helps your Niro maintain a safe following distance.
