The Power Is in Your Hands
Meet some of the world’s best plug-in technology at your Kia showroom. Put 201 horsepower in your hands, thanks to the Niro EV’s proven 356-volt motor and a single-speed transmission. It’s rumored to deliver 239 miles of family-friendly electric range with the help of this groundbreaking vehicle’s 64 kWh liquid-cooled, lithium-ion polymer battery.
Kia’s advanced powertrain routes all this power directly to the front wheels, resulting in impressive brisk acceleration. It also produces plenty of juice in the midrange to manage any commute. Go ahead and pick your favorite drive mode. There’s Normal, Sport, Eco, and Eco+, and earn as much as 123 MPGe in the city and 102 MPGe on the highway.
Lightning Fast Charging
According to the engineers at Kia, the Niro’s onboard 7.2-kW charging system can add around 100 miles in just half and hour. It reaches up to 80% battery capacity within 75 minutes using Kia’s standard DC fast-charging system.
At home, owners are encouraged to have the 240-volt, Level 2 charging system installed. While most people won’t run the battery down completely, this innovative system can fast-charge a depleted battery in just 9.5 hours. Another important factor: because Kia hasn’t met the government’s cap for EV rebates, buyers can expect to receive the entire tax credit of $7,500 after purchasing the Niro EV.
SUV-Inspired Performance
The 2020 Niro delivers SUV-inspired performance without sacrificing fuel economy, particularly the EX and EX Premium trim levels. This front-wheel-drive crossover handles surprisingly well, and unlike some automakers whose EVs struggle to balance hefty curb weights, the Niro EV never feels heavy to drive.
It’s easy to maneuver and offers urban drivers the advantages of a tight turning radius, and remains firmly planted around corners. With this seriously fun-to-drive package, it’s a comfortable commuter and features the quiet ambiance of a well-soundproofed cabin, too.
Safety
You and your passenger’s safety on the road is a top priority for Kia’s engineers. That’s why they added so many standard features to the Niro EV. You’ll appreciate the added protection of Kia Drive Wise. This suite of advanced safety and driver assistance features comes with all the bells and whistles.
You’ll appreciate the benefit of state-of-the-art technologies such as a forward-collision avoidance assistant, forward-collision alerts, and lane-departure warnings. Also included are stop-and-go automatic cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot collision signals, and rear cross-traffic alerts.
When you think global, you can act locally. Visit your nearby Kia showroom today and get a charge out of your new 2020 Niro EV. Make an eco-friendly choice for your new ride. The next generation will thank you.
