Kia unveiled the second-generation Niro in November 2021 and we had to wait until now to discover the US version. Arriving at the New York Auto Show, the compact crossover is once again being offered with a choice of three powertrains: hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and purely electric. Even though several months have passed since the debut, we're still a bit in awe regarding the drastically modified design derived from the 2019 Habaniro concept.
Larger than the model it replaces, the 2023 Niro stretches at 174 inches long and has a wheelbase measuring 107.1 inches. As a result of the increased footprint, the electrified crossover offers a cargo capacity of 22.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats. The reshaped body has lowered the drag coefficient to 0.29 and there are optional 19-inch wheels with a design derived from the concept's alloys.
