00:00Meet the 2024 Kia Niro, a versatile small hatchback. Available as a hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric model, the Niro is designed for drivers seeking a cost-effective, eco-friendly ride.
00:16With its unique exterior styling and clever cabin, the Niro finds distinction against competitors like the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid and Hyundai Kona.
00:26For 2024, it gains slight adjustments aimed at improving practicality.
00:32Inside, the Niro provides decent cargo space and ample tech. With an 8-inch standard touchscreen or a premium 10.3-inch screen on higher trims, the Niro has useful digital connectivity features.
00:47The Niro's three powertrain choices all help reduce stops at the gas station. The hybrid delivers up to 54 miles per gallon, the plug-in hybrid offers 34 miles of electric range, and the all-electric model can cover about 250 miles on a charge.
01:06Safety is a priority with the Niro. The hybrid earned a 5-star safety rating from NHTSA, and every model comes equipped with driver-assist features including automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control.
01:23A hatchback form factor makes the Niro a useful runabout. Although the second-row seats don't fold completely flat, the Niro still offers convenient cargo space. It could be a worthy alternative to a hybrid SUV.
01:38Choosing the right Niro depends on your driving habits. The hybrid is easy to live with, the plug-in hybrid suits those who can regularly charge, and the EV is ideal for an eco-conscious driver.
01:51With its blend of features, efficiency, and versatility, the 2024 Kia Niro is a smart choice for anyone looking to go green without breaking the bank.
