Using a front view camera and front radar, FCA can detect a vehicle, a pedestrian, or a cyclist ahead, and warn you, or even brake automatically. It will also brake automatically if it senses the risk of an oncoming vehicle from left or right at an intersection ahead.

PCA helps avoid collisions with rear objects while reversing.

If there is a risk of collision with an oncoming vehicle on the left or right side while reversing, RCCA provides a warning. After the warning, if the risk of collision increases, it automatically assists with emergency braking.

When operating the turn signal switch to change lanes, BCA provides a warning if there is a risk of collision with a rear side vehicle. 

Smart Cruise Control helps maintain distance from the vehicle ahead and drive at a speed set by the driver. The Niro stops automatically if the car in front comes to a halt, and starts automatically if the vehicle ahead resumes accelerates within a set time.

The Rear View Monitor displays video of the situation behind the vehicle for safe parking.

Remote Smart Parking Assist helps remotely park or exit a parking spot from outside the vehicle.

For the ultimate in passenger comfort ventilated seats direct a cool air conditioned flow of air into the seat itself. The ultimate luxury on a hot summer day.  

The TFT LCD cluster was intelligently designed to display a hybrid system gauge which is able to indicate whether the current driving condition is fuel efficient. It also displays the status of the hybrid charging system, including battery level. The Kia hybrid system notifies the driver of energy flow in various operating modes.

Fast responding, bright and hard to miss, LED indicators add to the premium nature of Niro. (not available on all models)

Offering a focused, sharp and bright beam of light, the Projector beam headlights add safety and reassurance to low light driving conditions. 

The C-pillar design highlights the profile of the car. To prevent static pressure, the aeropillar has an opening to let airflow through.

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.

The charging pad in the dash, in front of the center console, lets you quickly charge compatible portable phones, wirelessly.

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 and climate share the same LCD keyboard. Press the fan/arrow button to switch between climate and infotainment controls.

Sharing driving is made simple with the Integrated Memory system (IMS) taking care of seat position and several other key adjustable Niro features.

To make sure no one is left alone, ROA warns you of any rear occupants when you stop and prepare to exit.

Rear seat passengers will find USB ports in the seatbacks ahead of them, so they can charge their devices whenever they want.

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

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.

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.

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).

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.

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:

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.

The Niro features a highly responsive 6-speed dual clutch automatic transmission (DCT) that delivers dynamic acceleration and a smoother transmission.

The Niro can adjust to the way you like to drive. Switch from Normal to Sport mode for zip, or to Eco mode for extended charge range.

Shift By Wire offers precise, immediate shifting, while the Drive Mode Select dial, beside the driver’s seat, offers quick, logical changes.

Based on navigation data or driver input, SRS 1.0 improves hybrid range and stability by optimizing regenerative braking and coasting.
