Kia Dealer Favorite: A Closer Look at the 2023 Kia Niro EV

Sporty Performance

When it comes to fuel efficiency and performance, few vehicles can compete with this edition of the Niro EV, thanks to its 201-horsepower all-electric powertrain that does away with the fuel altogether. In addition to a 7.1-second 0 to 60 MPH time, this powertrain helps the vehicle achieve an EPA-estimated 253 miles on a single charge, providing the vehicle with 113 MPGe.

With traction-enhanced front-wheel drive, this peppy vehicle also has excellent handling, thanks to its low center of gravity, making it easy to tackle sharp turns and curves in your everyday drives.

Comfort and Luxury

The Niro EV’s cabin offers all the luxury and comfort features you could want in a crossover, including heated and ventilated front seats with both 10-way power adjustability and a memory setting for the driver’s seat, heated rear outboard seats, and a heated steering wheel.

There’s also dual-zone auto climate control, allowing you to choose a different temperature for your side of the vehicle than your front passenger, and for times when you need to make room for larger cargo, the 60/40 seat split-folds, so you can choose how much space you need.

Convenient Technology

Providing plenty of entertainment options, this edition’s 10.25-inch touchscreen comes with voice recognition technology, SiriusXM Satellite Radio access, and smartphone connectivity, as well as turn-by-turn navigation instructions if you should need help getting to destinations or finding your way home.

The front console tray features a wireless phone charger, so nobody has to bring along their charging cables, though if you need to plug larger devices in somewhere, there’s also the Onboard Power Generator for laptops and larger gear, a 12-volt outlet, and multiple USB charging ports throughout the cabin for smaller devices.

Advanced Sensor Systems

With Kia Drive Wise, you have a full suite of safety features, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist. This feature can detect and warn you when pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles are present in front of the vehicle, and, if you don’t respond, it can then fully stop the vehicle when seconds count to avoid front-end collisions.

Then there’s the Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control, an innovative system that lets you choose a speed and maintains that speed when possible, though it can also reduce your speed when you’re taking curves or approaching other vehicles too quickly.

The 2023 Niro EV surpasses expectations with impressive acceleration, quick battery charging, and a cabin that’s been decked out with all the latest technology. Start your adventures and avoid the gas pump by reaching out to us today at Crain Kia of Fort Smith to schedule your test drive with this stylish all-electric crossover.
