The 2021 Kia Niro is an exceptional subcompact crossover that delivers outstanding fuel economy while offering a practical and comfortable driving experience.

Available as a hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or all-electric vehicle, the Niro provides eco-conscious drivers with multiple powertrain options. Although it does not offer all-wheel drive, it remains a strong contender in its segment, rivaling the Toyota Prius and other hybrid models.

Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid, and Electric Options

Drivers can choose from three different versions of the 2021 Kia Niro:

• Hybrid – A fuel-efficient option that combines a gasoline engine with an electric motor.
• Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) – Offers increased electric-only range for improved efficiency.
• All-Electric (EV) – A fully electric model for zero-emissions driving.

Advanced Technology and Standard Features

The 2021 Kia Niro is well-equipped with modern technology and convenience features, including:

• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.
• Passive keyless entry and remote start for added convenience.
• Navigation system with free map updates for 10 years.
• Smart cruise control with map-based functionality for enhanced driving assistance.

Performance and Efficiency

Under the hood, the hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of the 2021 Kia Niro are powered by a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor. This combination delivers 139 horsepower and is mated to a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Acceleration is smooth, with a 0-60 mph time of under nine seconds for most trims.

While the Niro is not the most powerful crossover, it provides responsive steering and an enjoyable ride. The steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters allow drivers to manually shift gears or adjust between four levels of regenerative braking.

Impressive Fuel Economy

The 2021 Kia Niro hybrid delivers excellent fuel efficiency, with an EPA-estimated 53 mpg in the city and 48 mpg on the highway, resulting in a combined rating of 50 mpg. The plug-in hybrid model offers 105 MPGe when running on electricity alone, with an electric-only range of 26 miles.

Spacious and Comfortable Interior

Inside, the 2021 Kia Niro features a minimalist yet functional interior, using a mix of plastic and cloth materials. A dual-zone automatic climate control system allows both the driver and front passenger to adjust the temperature settings for optimal comfort.

Despite being a hybrid, the Niro offers ample cargo space:

• Six carry-on bags can fit behind the rear seats.
• Eighteen carry-on bags fit when the rear seats are folded down.
