2023 KIA Niro Hybrid

2023 KIA Niro Hybrid
.............................
Arriving for 2023, the second-generation Kia Niro should have more mental stickiness. Modeled after the 2019 "HabaNiro" concept—Get it? Like the pepper but mixed with "Niro?" Such fun!—the new Niro has a similar overall shape to its predecessor, but the details between the bumpers are toughened up with blockier forms and edgier flourishes.

Don't just call the Niro interesting-looking "for a hybrid." This is a genuinely compelling small crossover, with angular new headlights, a broad hood, and chunky sculpting around its wheel wells and lower body. There are clear parallels to the HabaNiro concept in the contrast-color panel slicing up each side of the body behind each rear door, and Kia also mined that show car for those V-shaped LED headlight accents and the vertical taillights that frame the rear hatch.

A new, two-spoke steering wheel juts from beneath a tablet-style panel with an embedded digital gauge cluster and large central touchscreen. Happily, a horizontal panel beneath the center screen hosts a row of physical climate-control knobs, though also what appear to be touch-sensitive buttons. Physical seat heating and ventilation buttons are fitted to the center console, along with a starter button and a rotary shift dial for selecting park, drive, reverse, and neutral. Kia says that in the Niro hybrid, it relocated the 12-volt battery alongside the hybrid setup's battery under the rear seats, opening up some space in the trunk (where the 12-volt lived before).

The outgoing Niro's cabin generated few complaints, with a simple layout and a refreshing lack of the techy weirdness permeating its chief competitor, the Toyota Prius. Kia appears to have kept that same basic thinking for the 2023 Niro, albeit with a few jazzy new slants and curves and things to spice up the visuals. Each door panel features a long diagonal arc housing the window controls as well as other ancillary controls on the driver's side, while the dash now forms a long, gentle full-width arc.

Starting @ $25,865
