2022 Kia Niro Hybrid is a car that is made by Kia Motors. This car is categorized in the Hybrid Car category. It was released in 2022, and it is estimated to be worth about $42,000. Kia has promised a car that looks like a production 2020 Kia Niro. However, there are no photos of this upcoming model yet because it will debut at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show next January. The 2020 Niro will share its powertrain with the Hyundai IONIQ electric and plug-in hybrid (PHEV). The hybrid version will use Hyundai’s 2-liter CRDi engine coupled to an electric motor for a production combined output of 188 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft of torque.
Benefits of 2022 Kia Niro Hybrid
1. Can power up to 31 miles in all-electric mode
This is a good news for those car lovers who want to keep their families safe and consider the environment at the same time. The Niro Hybrid will be able to go 31 miles in all-electric mode and it can be used as an EV car in cities with low-emission zones. It’s a good product from Kia, which is well known for producing affordable hybrid vehicles.
2. Sportier look than the existing Kia Niro
The production 2020 Kia Niro won’t have much differences with the current model except for the front fascia and rear end treatment that are tweaked slightly to give it a more sportier look. The front grille will be larger than the conventional Niro model. The whole outer front fascia is also changed and the revised side mirrors are now integrated into the front doors. A new rear end treatment should make it look sportier and more appealing to buyers.
3. Use 2-liter CRDi engine with electric motor
The Kia Niro Hybrid will use a powertrain that’s similar to Hyundai Motor’s IONIQ electric and plug-in hybrid (PHEV). The hybrid version will use Hyundai’s 2-liter CRDi engine coupled to an electric motor for a production combined output of 188 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft of torque. This combination will offer a total driving range of over 500 miles before needing a recharge.
4. The interior is equipped with the latest technology
The Niro Hybrid should remain as an affordable choice for those car lovers who want to own a clean-energy vehicle but have limited budget. The existing production model looks and feels quite good inside, and it shouldn’t be hard for the upcoming hybrid version to keep up with it. The Niro Hybrid’s cabin should be equipped with the latest technology and safety features to keep up its reputation as one of Kia’s most modern models.
