What Changes Have Been Made to the 2025 Kia Niro?
There aren’t a ton of major changes for most Kia models this, and the Niro is no exception.
The blacked-out C-pillar that was once offered on some trims is a thing of the past. Also, SX Touring PHEVs now feature the Cold Weather package with auxiliary heater and heated rear seats as standard.
(Makes sense for those in colder climes!)

- EX: $31,165
- EX Touring: $33,465
- SX: $34,365

Is the 2025 Kia Niro Fuel Efficient?
The Kia Niro features a 4-cylinder engine and an electric motor paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, generating a peppy 139-horsepower, which is perfect for tooling around the city. The Niro’s plug-in-hybrid comes with an 11.1-kWh battery that gets about 33 miles range per charge.
It’s the great fuel economy that turns heads toward the Niro—it gets a whopping 53 mpg overall in the LX, EX, and SX trims (featuring 16-inch wheels) and 49 mpg in the EX Touring and SX Touring trims (featuring 18-inch wheels.) That means your monthly fuel cost is about $83 or $91, respectively. Those savings can’t be beat!
Is the 2025 Kia Niro Full of Technology Features?
The Kia Niro is not only extremely fuel efficient, it's made with some recycled materials and is designed with the environment in mind—recycled wallpaper, and polyurethane seats made from eucalyptus leaves are just some of the creative materials in Kia’s green arsenal. And that doesn’t mean it’s uncomfortable. It’s plush and stylish with the look of a more expensive vehicle.
Passenger space may be a bit snug for taller folks, but it remains relaxing, and there’s enough cargo space for a large grocery run.
Let’s talk about infotainment—all trims run Kia’s UVO infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The LX (base) package features an 8.0-inch touchscreen, while higher trims get a larger 10.3-inch display and features in-dash navigation and SiriusXM satellite radio. EX trims and above feature a wireless charging pad while the SX and SX Touring models have seven-speaker Harman/Kardon stereo system instead of the six speaker system in lower levels.
Is the 2025 Kia Niro an affordable Vehicle?
The 2025 Kia Niro is affordable in its own right and what it offers in fuel economy will save you even more money! These savings combined with a pointed effort by Kia to keep the Niro as green as possible makes it one of the best bets out there for the environment, while keeping comfort and reliability a priority.
