Does the 2025 Kia Niro PHEV Get Good Gas Mileage?
The Niro PHEV features a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder gas engine paired with an electric motor and 11.1-kWh battery, generating 180 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. It’s front-wheel drive with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
While those are respectable numbers, it's the savings that get Niro owners excited—not only is the MSRP extremely affordable, but the money you save in fuel is substantial— the EX Touring and SX Touring trims get about 49 mpg. While that’s less than the 53 mpg of hybrid trims, it’s still very hard to beat!
What is the Interior of the 2025 Kia Niro PHEV Like?
The Kia Niro is about sustainability and this is evident in its interior, which is made with recycled materials. You wouldn't know it, but its polyurethane seats are made from eucalyptus leaves! Comfort abounds here, and the Niro feels plush and has the look of a far more expensive SUV. While mostly spacious, larger passengers sitting in the back will feel a tighter squeeze, but not enough of one that makes them feel overly uncomfortable, and there’s more than enough room in the back for a shopping run or the kid’s sports gear.
All trims run Kia’s lauded UVO infotainment system, which features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The LX (base) package has an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen display, while higher trims get a larger 10.3-inch display and fun extras like in-dash navigation and SiriusXM satellite radio.
EX trims and above have a wireless charging pad as standard while the SX and SX Touring models feature a seven-speaker Harman/Kardon stereo system instead of the six speaker system in other trims.
