MSRP
HIGHS
Handsome looks, base model comes nicely equipped, lots of storage cubbies.
LOWS
Charges slower than newer Kia EVs, short range compared to competitors, so-so acceleration.
VERDICT
While not sporty, this subcompact EV is enjoyable enough to drive and represents good value.

Overview
If you want a small yet practical EV but don't need the latest and greatest powertrain and charging capabilities, the Kia Niro EV is worth a look. Its modern styling is just a bit different from the mainstream, and its small size makes it supremely maneuverable. Still, there's decent room inside for you and your stuff. It's no sports car, but the driving experience is appropriately relaxed, and the EPA estimates 253 miles on a chargeโbehind some competitors but still useful for daily driving. If you like the Niro's package but prefer something with a gas engine, check out the hybrid and plug-in-hybrid versions, which we
review separately
.

What's New for 2026?
There are no major changes to the Niro EV for this model year.
C/D Expert Tip:
If this year's model is largely unchanged and you're comfortable with a lightly used car, you may want to consider shopping previous model years.
A one-to-three-year-old model will likely have a warranty and it'll cost less than buying new.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2026 Kia Niro EV starts at $41,195 and goes up to $46,195 depending on the trim and options.
We'd stick with the
entry-level Wind trim
, as upgrading to the Wave model doesn't result in any increases in driving range or performance. Plus, the Wind comes standard with plenty of niceties, including a large 10.3-inch infotainment display with navigation, heated front seats, ambient interior lighting, dual-zone automatic climate control, a host of driver-assistance features, and a wireless smartphone charging pad.

EV Motor, Power, and Performance
A single electric motor feeding the front wheels is the Niro EV's sole powertrain. Kia says this setup generates 201 horsepower, which makes it more powerful than the 139-hp hybrid and 180-hp plug-in-hybrid Niro sister models. In real-world driving, the Niro EV easily keeps up with city traffic and doesnโt strain when merging onto the highwayโso long as you don't have it in Eco mode. Floor the accelerator in Eco and the Niro EV veritably crawls, which is no doubt good for extending driving range but not great for your outlook on life. Normal and Sport driving modes let the Niro EV feel more alive. The Niro EV's steering is accurate and progressive, but the cornering grip is measurably lower than some rivals'โnot that you would mistake the Niro for anything remotely sporty.
0โ60-MPH Times
In our testing, the Niro EV
took 6.7 seconds to reach 60 mph
โnot slow for a gas-engine vehicle, but relaxed by EV standards.
Range, Charging, and Battery Life
The Niro EV has an EPA-estimated range of 253 miles per charge. When connected to a DC fast charger, the company says it can charge its 64.8-kWh battery from 10 to 80 percent in about 45 minutesโfar from lightning quick. During our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test, the Niro delivered a credible 210 miles of driving before needing to be recharged.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGe
The EPA estimates the Niro EV's fuel economy at 126 MPGe city and 101 MPGe highway, which is much better than the most efficient
Volkswagen ID.4
model. MPGe stands for miles per gallon of gas equivalent,
an EPA metric that estimates PHEV and EV vehicle fuel efficiency
. For more information about the Niro EV's fuel economy, visit
the EPA's website
.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Inside, the Niro EV features a contemporary design that's peppered with eco-friendly materials; for instance, elements from eucalyptus leaves are used to make the seat coverings. Kia's designers have incorporated stylishly angled surfaces into the door panels and the top of the dashboard. The 10.3-inch digital instrument panel and handsome infotainment display highlight the cabin's technical vibe. The steering wheel has a distinctive two-spoke design, and the center console hosts a rotary shifter. Small-item storage is plentiful, with large door pockets and useful cubbies in the center console. We fit eight carry-on suitcases in the Niro EV's cargo hold; with the rear seats folded, we fit a total of 20.
Infotainment and Connectivity
A 10.3-inch touchscreen acts as the central hub of the Niro EV's infotainment system. While wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, wireless charging and a Harman/Kardon stereo are extra-cost options. A digital key feature allows users to remotely access vehicle functions via their smartphone. Likewise, some functions can be controlled using voice-command services like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
The Niro EV includes a host of standard
driver-assistance technology
as well as some optional equipment. For more information about the Niro EV's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (
NHTSA
) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (
IIHS
) websites. Key safety features include:
Standard forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking
Standard lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist
Standard adaptive cruise control with a lane-centering feature
Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
While Kia's warranty coverage doesn't come with complimentary scheduled maintenance like models from its corporate counterpart, Hyundai, it does offer one of the best limited and powertrain plans in the industry.
Limited warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles
Powertrain warranty covers 10 years or 100,000 miles
No complimentary scheduled maintenance

## **Overview**
If you want a small yet practical EV but don't need the latest and greatest powertrain and charging capabilities, the Kia Niro EV is worth a look. Its modern styling is just a bit different from the mainstream, and its small size makes it supremely maneuverable. Still, there's decent room inside for you and your stuff. It's no sports car, but the driving experience is appropriately relaxed, and the EPA estimates 253 miles on a chargeโbehind some competitors but still useful for daily driving. If you like the Niro's package but prefer something with a gas engine, check out the hybrid and plug-in-hybrid versions, which we [review separately](https://www.caranddriver.com/kia/niro).

## **What's New for 2026?**
There are no major changes to the Niro EV for this model year.
C/D Expert Tip:
**If this year's model is largely unchanged and you're comfortable with a lightly used car, you may want to consider shopping previous model years.** A one-to-three-year-old model will likely have a warranty and it'll cost less than buying new.

We'd stick with the [**entry-level Wind trim**](https://www.caranddriver.com/rankings/best-electric-cars/cheapest), as upgrading to the Wave model doesn't result in any increases in driving range or performance. Plus, the Wind comes standard with plenty of niceties, including a large 10.3-inch infotainment display with navigation, heated front seats, ambient interior lighting, dual-zone automatic climate control, a host of driver-assistance features, and a wireless smartphone charging pad.

- [Your 2024 Guide to EV Tax Credits](https://www.caranddriver.com/shopping-advice/a32586259/how-ev-tax-credits-work/)
## **EV Motor, Power, and Performance**
A single electric motor feeding the front wheels is the Niro EV's sole powertrain. Kia says this setup generates 201 horsepower, which makes it more powerful than the 139-hp hybrid and 180-hp plug-in-hybrid Niro sister models. In real-world driving, the Niro EV easily keeps up with city traffic and doesnโt strain when merging onto the highwayโso long as you don't have it in Eco mode. Floor the accelerator in Eco and the Niro EV veritably crawls, which is no doubt good for extending driving range but not great for your outlook on life. Normal and Sport driving modes let the Niro EV feel more alive. The Niro EV's steering is accurate and progressive, but the cornering grip is measurably lower than some rivals'โnot that you would mistake the Niro for anything remotely sporty.
## **0โ60-MPH Times**
In our testing, the Niro EV [**took 6.7 seconds to reach 60 mph**](https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a41557178/2023-kia-niro-ev-by-the-numbers/)โnot slow for a gas-engine vehicle, but relaxed by EV standards.

- [Tested: 2023 Kia Niro EV Takes On the Chevy Bolt](https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a41557178/2023-kia-niro-ev-by-the-numbers/)
## **Range, Charging, and Battery Life**
The Niro EV has an EPA-estimated range of 253 miles per charge. When connected to a DC fast charger, the company says it can charge its 64.8-kWh battery from 10 to 80 percent in about 45 minutesโfar from lightning quick. During our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test, the Niro delivered a credible 210 miles of driving before needing to be recharged.
## **Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGe**
The EPA estimates the Niro EV's fuel economy at 126 MPGe city and 101 MPGe highway, which is much better than the most efficient [**Volkswagen ID.4**](https://www.caranddriver.com/volkswagen/id4) model. MPGe stands for miles per gallon of gas equivalent, [an EPA metric that estimates PHEV and EV vehicle fuel efficiency](https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a31863350/what-is-mpge/). For more information about the Niro EV's fuel economy, visit [**the EPA's website**](https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/findacar.shtml).
## **Interior, Comfort, and Cargo**
Inside, the Niro EV features a contemporary design that's peppered with eco-friendly materials; for instance, elements from eucalyptus leaves are used to make the seat coverings. Kia's designers have incorporated stylishly angled surfaces into the door panels and the top of the dashboard. The 10.3-inch digital instrument panel and handsome infotainment display highlight the cabin's technical vibe. The steering wheel has a distinctive two-spoke design, and the center console hosts a rotary shifter. Small-item storage is plentiful, with large door pockets and useful cubbies in the center console. We fit eight carry-on suitcases in the Niro EV's cargo hold; with the rear seats folded, we fit a total of 20.

## **Infotainment and Connectivity**
A 10.3-inch touchscreen acts as the central hub of the Niro EV's infotainment system. While wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, wireless charging and a Harman/Kardon stereo are extra-cost options. A digital key feature allows users to remotely access vehicle functions via their smartphone. Likewise, some functions can be controlled using voice-command services like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

## **Safety and Driver-Assistance Features**
The Niro EV includes a host of standard [**driver-assistance technology**](https://www.caranddriver.com/features/g27612164/car-safety-features/) as well as some optional equipment. For more information about the Niro EV's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ([**NHTSA**](https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings)) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety ([**IIHS**](https://www.iihs.org/)) websites. Key safety features include:
- **Standard forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking**
- **Standard lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist**
- **Standard adaptive cruise control with a lane-centering feature**
## **Warranty and Maintenance Coverage**
While Kia's warranty coverage doesn't come with complimentary scheduled maintenance like models from its corporate counterpart, Hyundai, it does offer one of the best limited and powertrain plans in the industry.
- **Limited warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles**
- **Powertrain warranty covers 10 years or 100,000 miles**
- **No complimentary scheduled maintenance**

## **Overview**
If you want a small yet practical EV but don't need the latest and greatest powertrain and charging capabilities, the Kia Niro EV is worth a look. Its modern styling is just a bit different from the mainstream, and its small size makes it supremely maneuverable. Still, there's decent room inside for you and your stuff. It's no sports car, but the driving experience is appropriately relaxed, and the EPA estimates 253 miles on a chargeโbehind some competitors but still useful for daily driving. If you like the Niro's package but prefer something with a gas engine, check out the hybrid and plug-in-hybrid versions, which we [review separately](https://www.caranddriver.com/kia/niro).

## **What's New for 2026?**
There are no major changes to the Niro EV for this model year.
C/D Expert Tip:
**If this year's model is largely unchanged and you're comfortable with a lightly used car, you may want to consider shopping previous model years.** A one-to-three-year-old model will likely have a warranty and it'll cost less than buying new.

## **Pricing and Which One to Buy**
The price of the 2026 Kia Niro EV starts at \$41,195 and goes up to \$46,195 depending on the trim and options.
We'd stick with the [**entry-level Wind trim**](https://www.caranddriver.com/rankings/best-electric-cars/cheapest), as upgrading to the Wave model doesn't result in any increases in driving range or performance. Plus, the Wind comes standard with plenty of niceties, including a large 10.3-inch infotainment display with navigation, heated front seats, ambient interior lighting, dual-zone automatic climate control, a host of driver-assistance features, and a wireless smartphone charging pad.

## **EV Motor, Power, and Performance**
A single electric motor feeding the front wheels is the Niro EV's sole powertrain. Kia says this setup generates 201 horsepower, which makes it more powerful than the 139-hp hybrid and 180-hp plug-in-hybrid Niro sister models. In real-world driving, the Niro EV easily keeps up with city traffic and doesnโt strain when merging onto the highwayโso long as you don't have it in Eco mode. Floor the accelerator in Eco and the Niro EV veritably crawls, which is no doubt good for extending driving range but not great for your outlook on life. Normal and Sport driving modes let the Niro EV feel more alive. The Niro EV's steering is accurate and progressive, but the cornering grip is measurably lower than some rivals'โnot that you would mistake the Niro for anything remotely sporty.
## **0โ60-MPH Times**
In our testing, the Niro EV [**took 6.7 seconds to reach 60 mph**](https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a41557178/2023-kia-niro-ev-by-the-numbers/)โnot slow for a gas-engine vehicle, but relaxed by EV standards.
## **Range, Charging, and Battery Life**
The Niro EV has an EPA-estimated range of 253 miles per charge. When connected to a DC fast charger, the company says it can charge its 64.8-kWh battery from 10 to 80 percent in about 45 minutesโfar from lightning quick. During our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test, the Niro delivered a credible 210 miles of driving before needing to be recharged.
## **Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGe**
The EPA estimates the Niro EV's fuel economy at 126 MPGe city and 101 MPGe highway, which is much better than the most efficient [**Volkswagen ID.4**](https://www.caranddriver.com/volkswagen/id4) model. MPGe stands for miles per gallon of gas equivalent, [an EPA metric that estimates PHEV and EV vehicle fuel efficiency](https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a31863350/what-is-mpge/). For more information about the Niro EV's fuel economy, visit [**the EPA's website**](https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/findacar.shtml).
## **Interior, Comfort, and Cargo**
Inside, the Niro EV features a contemporary design that's peppered with eco-friendly materials; for instance, elements from eucalyptus leaves are used to make the seat coverings. Kia's designers have incorporated stylishly angled surfaces into the door panels and the top of the dashboard. The 10.3-inch digital instrument panel and handsome infotainment display highlight the cabin's technical vibe. The steering wheel has a distinctive two-spoke design, and the center console hosts a rotary shifter. Small-item storage is plentiful, with large door pockets and useful cubbies in the center console. We fit eight carry-on suitcases in the Niro EV's cargo hold; with the rear seats folded, we fit a total of 20.
## **Infotainment and Connectivity**
A 10.3-inch touchscreen acts as the central hub of the Niro EV's infotainment system. While wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, wireless charging and a Harman/Kardon stereo are extra-cost options. A digital key feature allows users to remotely access vehicle functions via their smartphone. Likewise, some functions can be controlled using voice-command services like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
## **Safety and Driver-Assistance Features**
The Niro EV includes a host of standard [**driver-assistance technology**](https://www.caranddriver.com/features/g27612164/car-safety-features/) as well as some optional equipment. For more information about the Niro EV's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ([**NHTSA**](https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings)) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety ([**IIHS**](https://www.iihs.org/)) websites. Key safety features include:
- **Standard forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking**
- **Standard lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist**
- **Standard adaptive cruise control with a lane-centering feature**
## **Warranty and Maintenance Coverage**
While Kia's warranty coverage doesn't come with complimentary scheduled maintenance like models from its corporate counterpart, Hyundai, it does offer one of the best limited and powertrain plans in the industry.
- **Limited warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles**
- **Powertrain warranty covers 10 years or 100,000 miles**
- **No complimentary scheduled maintenance**
