Basics About the 2022 Niro EV: The 2022 Kia Niro’s All-Electric Model

Electric-Powered Drivetrain and Performance

The Niro EV offers impressive power through its permanent magnet AC synchronous electric motor, which makes 201 horsepower and 291 lb-ft of torque. You’ll always have a ton of torque available when you need it and the SUV can accelerate from 0 to 60 in just over six seconds. Using a single pedal to operate the Niro EV is possible through its regenerative braking system, which uses steering wheel-mounted paddles to control the amount of regeneration.
With its modern suspension that features MacPherson struts and a multi-linked rear setup, the Niro EV is very composed around corners and provides a smooth, quiet ride for occupants. 

Range and Charging Capabilities

When its lithium-ion battery is fully charged, the Niro EV’s maximum range is an EPA-estimated 239 miles, making it a leader in its class. Charging is convenient and easy, with the vehicle providing multiple ways to juice up the battery. You’ll be able to charge it at home from a 120-volt or 240-volt outlet. A professionally installed 6.6-kilowatt EVSE charging station at home can fully charge the battery in about 9 hours and 35 minutes.
Coming standard with the Niro EV is a 400-volt fast-charging system, which lets you recharge at public charging stations. When using a 100-kilowatt charging station with the fast charger, you can add around 100 miles of range every half hour.

Interior Cabin and Comfort

The passenger compartment within the Niro EV is spacious and filled with amenities. There’s a passenger capacity of 96.6 cubic feet with plenty of legroom and headroom, whether you’re sitting at the front or rear. The EX model comes standard with heated front seats that have been upholstered with high-quality cloth and SynTex material. Ventilated front seating and a power sunroof are available with the EX Premium for added comfort. 
Automatic climate control helps save energy with its Driver Only mode, which diverts all cooling and heating to the driver’s side of the vehicle. Other available amenities include a wireless charging station for devices, rear console vents, and plenty of storage compartments.

Infotainment System

Both the EX and EX Premium trims come with a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen system that features available voice-controlled navigation and SiriusXM radio. Smartphone integration with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Bluetooth comes standard for hands-free access to your favorite apps while you’re on the road. The Niro EV is also equipped with a Harman Kardon 8-speaker premium sound system.
Kia’s Niro EV is a state-of-the-art electric crossover that delivers efficient performance, fast charging, and advanced technology at a great price.
