Kia updates Niro HEV, PHEV for 2025 model year

    In total, the Kia Niro PHEV can produce up to 180 horsepower and 265 Newton-meters of torque.

    With regards to feature updates, the PHEV trims received a new Cold Weather Package, which includes a positive temperative coefficient (PTC) heater and heated rear seats.

    Combined outputs for the model go up to 180 hp and 265 Nm of torque for the PHEV model. The HEV, meanwhile, can churn out 139 hp and 265 Nm of torque.

    Other notable features of the Niro HEV and PHEV include an advanced driver-assist suite, power-adjustable seating, and vegan leather upholstery, among others. Higher-spec trims also get a Harman Kardon sound system and an eight-inch infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
