The all-new Kia Niro EV has been designed to make the transition to all-electric next-generation mobility simple, seamless and intuitive for customers wanting to embrace an efficient, economical and zero-emissions driving experience.
From its highly-efficient electric powertrain that can deliver an impressive driving range of up to 460km on the WLTP cycle, through to its relaxing and intuitive driving experience, high-tech but functional interior, bold design and low cost of ownership, every facet of the Niro EV has been honed to make e-mobility a logical and straightforward choice for customers.
At the heart of this easy-to-use ethos underpinning the development of the Niro EV are a series of clever solutions that have been designed to enhance usability, ensuring Kia’s latest eco-friendly CUV remains one of the most effortless vehicles to live with.
Space to get truly comfortable
On entering the all-new Niro EV, occupants are greeted by a spacious and welcoming interior, enabled by being based on a new and enlarged platform compared to the first-generation Niro. At 4,420mm long, 1,825mm wide, 1,570mm in height, and with a 2,720mm wheelbase, Kia’s engineers and designers have been able to deliver a car with outstanding occupant space and storage.
Front seat passengers can use this space to stretch out, with two highly ergonomic heated and ventilated seats ensuring optimum comfort. A memory function provides additional convenience by enabling different drivers to set and select their preferred seating positions at the touch of a button. While this tech ensures those piloting the all-new Niro EV are all set for the journey ahead, an innovative passenger relaxion seat means the front seat passenger can also get fully comfortable when the vehicle is stationary. On command, the seat will lift and recline to maximise comfort and provide optimal postural support while charging or resting.
Each front seat features an innovative slimline design with a frame that’s been reduced by 30mm for an almost 30% thinner form. Combined with a two-step heated rear bench seat that can slide backwards and forwards, the all-new Niro EV delivers outstanding rear passenger space and comfort, with 967mm of headroom and 938mm of legroom.
Impressive luggage capacity
Whether on a family adventure or undertaking a shopping trip, the all-new Niro EV can store a sizeable amount of luggage thanks to its class-leading trunk capacity. Featuring 475-litres of stowage space, users can extend this by conveniently flipping the 60/40 rear seats for a voluminous 1,392-litres of additional storage potential. Furthering the practical and flexible nature of the trunk is a clever foldable cargo screen that can double as a sunshield. Made from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET), users can fold and store the screen in a handy pouch when not in use.
The all-new Niro EV also benefits from a useful 20-litre frunk. Located under the bonnet, the frunk can be used to store the vehicle’s charging cable, while its location is ideally situated close to the vehicle’s charging port. The Niro EV’s charging port is positioned in the centre of the front grille of the vehicle for easy access at charging points. The frunk can also store the Niro EV’s Vehicle-to-Device (V2D) adapter, a feature that enables users to power external electrical appliances directly from the vehicle’s battery.
Another intelligent storage solution is an adaptable centre console box that provides front-seat occupants with multiple storage solutions. Occupants can use the feature to access handy cupholders, while a detachable middle tray partition allows more space to store items such as a laptop, tablet or documents. Located above this is an integrated infotainment and climate control system that ensures front seat occupants can access these controls without the need to scroll through multiple menus.
While many EVs offer limited towing capabilities, the all-new Niro EV delivers braked and unbraked towing capacities of 750kg and 300kg respectively, ideal for trips away.
