Panoramic curved display
A curved, unified HD display combines driving functions and the center infotainment and navigation system in one manageable frame. Simple graphics and touch commands give the driver top priority.
Wireless charging tray
The charging pad in the dash, in front of the center console, lets you quickly charge compatible portable phones, wirelessly.
Head Up Display (HUD)
You can get driving and safety information as you watch the road with HUD (Head Up Display) which projects a floating image as you look out the windshield.
Infotainment/climate switchable controller
Infotainment and climate share the same LCD keyboard. Press the fan/arrow button to switch between climate and infotainment controls.
Integrated Memory System (IMS)
Sharing driving is made simple with the Integrated Memory system (IMS) taking care of seat position and several other key adjustable Niro features.
Smart power tailgate
Each of two drivers can program a desired stopping height for the tailgate with their digital key. Stand behind the parked Niro, with Open selected, and the tailgate will open automatically.
Rear Occupant Alert (ROA)
To make sure no one is left alone, ROA warns you of any rear occupants when you stop and prepare to exit.
USB charger on seatbacks
Rear seat passengers will find USB ports in the seatbacks ahead of them, so they can charge their devices whenever they want.
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)
EPB reduces the effort required to set the park brake right down the simple push of a button. Not to mention freeing up space on the console
Hybrid technology
With the Niro Hybrid models, the hybrid system relies on the electric engine to get you going and during mild acceleration. When you need more acceleration the petrol engine will automatically kick in and will work together with the electric motor to get you up to the desired speed.
PHEV technology
The Niro PHEV can run on electric (EV) mode or hybrid mode. In the electric mode, the vehicle will only use the electric motor and will travel up to 55km on a full charge. The hybrid mode will automatically take over when the battery runs low and will engage the petrol engine to charge the battery and provide power when you need it.
High voltage battery power
The Hybrid and PHEV are both powered by a durable lithium-ion polymer battery. In the Hybrid, the battery generates 1.56 kWh and the PHEV battery generates 8.9kWh.The lithium-ion polymer battery efficiently controls electrical energy and cools more effectively. Safely positioned below the rear seats, the battery comes with a 7 year warranty or 160,000 km (whichever comes first).
Charging at home
For PHEV, it's possible to install a fast charger (Type 2) in your garage. Our dealerships can provide the options available and can assist with installation, quotes and conditions. The 3-pin wall plug charger is provided with the vehicle and is intended for emergency charging when there's no other option available.
Using public chargers
You can also charge the PHEV at compatible public charging stations. The PHEV requires an AC, Type 2 "Mennekes" charger. If there's a cable attached to the charging station you can use this, otherwise there's a Type 2 to Type 2 cable included with the Niro. You can find charging locations via the below websites / mobile apps:

Braking to recharge - Hybrid and PHEV
Compared to non-hybrid cars you may notice the Niro slows faster when your foot is off the accelerator. While you are braking or coasting with your foot off the accelerator, both the Niro Hybrid and PHEV converts momentum into energy to recharge the battery.
