2021 Niro: Performance

In years past, the Kia Niro has come in both hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants. We expect the 2021 Niro to continue in this vein. For this year, the electric motor and gas engine combination should be as potent as in the past.

We expect you’ll see a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine that delivers 139 horsepower and up to 195 lb-ft of torque. This combination will deliver outstanding off-the-line acceleration—especially for a car this size.

Last year, the model saw up to an EPA-estimated 52 city/49 highway MPG.¹ With this ride’s powertrains carrying over, you can count on similarly impressive figures this year!

More Advanced Comfort

Are you ready to enter the comfort zone? In the few short years since it was introduced, the Kia Niro has become a leader in terms of cabin coziness. Even in the heat of Texas, the available cooled front seats chill your ride to a more manageable temperature.

Finding that perfect seating position always takes some time. With a power adjustable driver’s seat with power lumbar, you can make the most of it. Lend your lower back some extra support for those endless journeys on the road.

The Niro is packed with convenient ways to stay connected, too. From the 2020 model, we expect to see the return of features such as:

• Apple CarPlay™
• Android Auto™
• Harman/Kardon®
• Wireless Charging

Flexible Space for Cargo

The 2020 Niro is designed for drivers with an active lifestyle. That means offering the space you need for all your adventure gear. This crossover rises to the challenge with 60/40 split-folding rear seats. Find the cargo space you need to fit your life—and make no compromises.

The current model year Niro offers 19.4 cubic feet behind the rear seats. That’s plenty of space for your sports bags and overnight gear—even a solid amount of luggage. With the rear seats folded, that figure rises to 54.5 cubic feet. You should see similar measurements for the upcoming 2021 model.

The Niro battery pack sits under the rear seats, making for a more expansive cargo area. It’s one more way this ride optimizes every inch of cargo space!

When Is the 2021 Kia Niro Release Date?

We hope Plano, Carrollton, and McKinney drivers found this preview helpful. We always have our ear to the ground for more information on the 2021 Kia Niro. We expect to see this hybrid crossover on our showroom floor later in 2020.
