Crain Kia of Fort Smith 2023 Kia Niro
The 2023 Niro is Kia's eco-friendly hybrid that sits between a hatchback and an SUV, offering plenty of pep, personality, and practicality behind the wheel. Even the cabin is filled with sustainable materials. This is a car built top to bottom to be environmentally conscious while also maintaining the automaker's reputation for vehicles that are as fun as they are reliable. The 2023 Niro has been totally redesigned, so let's look at what you get from the options, power, performance, cabin, technology, and safety.
Trim Levels (Exterior)
The Kia Niro is available in five trim levels that are different from the 2022 model. This year's trims are the LX, EX, EX Touring, SX, and SX Touring. It's a small, compact crossover, larger than a hatchback and with more rounded, sleeker lines than the boxy Kia Soul.
Engine (Power)
The base Kia Niro hybrid is powered by a 139 horsepower, 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine mated to an electric battery. From there, you can kick it up to a plug-in hybrid that boosts the electrical power and nets you 180 horsepower. You will get a six-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission regardless of which model you choose. A full EV version is also available for those who want to eschew gasoline entirely. This version nets 201 horsepower. All Niros are front-wheel-drive only.
Performance
The EPA-estimated fuel economy for the 2023 Niro is 53 mpg in the city and 54 mpg on the highway. Kia also says the plug-in hybrid can net about 33 miles of all-electric driving range. The company claims it takes less than 3 hours to fully charge the battery from a Level 2 rapid charger.
Interior
Many vehicles on the market these days claim to put environmental consciousness to the forefront, but few take it to the level that Kia does. The new Niro not only has a contemporary and comfortable cabin design, but they also make use of sustainably sourced materials in the build. You will enjoy plenty of passenger space for four adults. The dimensions are expected to be the same as the outgoing model, meaning you can expect over 19 cubic feet of storage behind the back seats, expandable if you fold the rear seats flat.
Ambient interior lighting gives you a sense of luxury, and the former lever gear selector to control the transmission has been replaced by a rotary knob for shifting. The infotainment is powered by a big, 10.3-inch touchscreen running the latest UVO interface, with standard Apple and Android wireless connectivity. Also standard is an 8-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, upgradeable at higher trim levels to more speakers.
Safety Features
Like most Kia vehicles, the Niro has many standard safety and intelligent driver-aid features. These include blind-spot monitoring, cross-traffic alerts, pedestrian detection, lane keeping, front crash warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure, and lane-keeping features. Available upgrades to the safety packages include automatic high beams, front and rear parking sensors, and advanced adaptive cruise control with semi-autonomous driving for highway trips.
The 2023 Kia Niro takes the idea of an eco-friendly vehicle to the next level. It offers superior hybrid performance and range and uses sustainable materials for the interior surfaces without sacrificing comfort.
