Hybrid powertrain
The Niro features our new 1.6 GDI petrol engine which works in tandem with the transmission-mounted electric motor to bring power to the front wheels with optimum energy efficiency.
6 Speed Dual Clutch Transmission
Niro breaks preconceptions and makes hybrids fun to drive with its fast and responsive 6-speed DCT.
Hybrid mode select
Unique to the Niro Plug-in Hybrid, this system gives you the choice to drive in one of three modes; Automatic, Electric mode & Hybrid mode. Enjoy the flexibility to prioritise using battery power or the petrol engine, or simply let the Niro choose depending on the driving conditions.
Regenerative braking
Regenerative braking helps to convert the kinetic energy when decelerating and braking into electrical energy to recharge the battery for even greater energy efficiency.
Charger type & time
The Niro Plug-in Hybrid uses Type 2 (IEC 62196-2) charge plug for AC charging, which can be found at most Australian public charging stations.
When using the optional Kia wall box charger (charging at 3.3kW), it can reach full charge from 0 from as little as 2 hours and 15 minutes.
For maximum convenience, Niro Plug-in Hybrid also comes with an ICCB (In-cable control box) Trickle Charger which can be plugged into any standard Australian powerpoint.
Flexible charging
With the Charge Management functionality of Niro, you can set the day and time of when to charge the battery as well as location-based charging options.
The in-built navigation system also contains information on nearby charge stations so that you can easily find places to charge your Niro on the go.
Navigation system available on Sport grade.
Charge cable lock
The charging cable connector can be set to auto unlock when charging is completed to allow others to charge their vehicles.
It may also be set to remain locked after charging has completed if you using your own charge cable (sold separately) in a public charging station.
Hybrid powertrain
Easily select from Eco, Sport & Manual Modes with the shift knob operation. Sport Mode increases responsiveness of the transmission & steering for dynamic driving, while Eco Mode maximises energy efficiency.

Safety first, every time.
Enhanced driver assistance.
Blind Spot Detection*
BSD uses sensors to monitor the side and rear of the vehicle and warns the driver of other vehicles in the blind spots to make changing lanes safer and easier.
Available on Sport grade.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert*
When reversing out of a parking spot or driveway, this system will warn you if any incoming traffic in either direction is detected behind the vehicle.
Available on Sport grade.
Lane Keep Assist*
LKA alerts the driver when it detects that the vehicle is about the deviate from the traffic lane without the use of indicators. It may also automatically assist the vehicle to help the driver stay within the lane of travel.
Autonomous Emergency Braking
(Car/Pedestrian/Cyclist)*
Using radar and camera data, the AEB system senses the potential for a collision with a pedestrian, car or cyclist ahead, and applies emergency braking to avoid or reduce the effects of a collision.
Advanced Smart Cruise Control*
Advanced Smart Cruise Control uses radar to maintain a predetermined distance from the vehicle directly ahead, automatically slowing or accelerating your vehicle when appropriate.
ASCC will require driver intervention if the vehicle in front is stationary for more than 3 seconds.
Rear Occupant Alert*
ROA makes note of the rear door open history to remind drivers to check rear seats when exiting the vehicle to prevent children, pets or items being left behind.
Rear view camera & reverse parking sensors*
The rear view camera with dynamic guidelines & ultrasonic sensors mounted on the rear bumper warn of any obstacles when maneuvering into tight spaces to make parking a breeze.

High Beam Assist
HBA will automatically apply the high beams in low lighting conditions. When the system detects oncoming cars, taillights of cars in front or there is enough ambient lighting, it will automatically turn off to prevent blinding other drivers.
HBA available on Sport grade.
Electronic Stability Control & Vehicle Stability Management*
ESC & VSM systems help keep the car stable during potential skidding, low traction, sudden maneuvers or braking situations.
Driver Attention Alert+ with lead vehicle departure alert*
Driver Attention Alert+ (DAA+) monitors the driver’s driving patterns and if there are signs of driver fatigue or inattentive driving, DAA recommends taking a break through audio & visual warnings.
Lead Vehicle Departure system notifies the driver when the vehicle in front is driving away when both vehicles are stationary, such as at a traffic stop.
