2024 Kia Niro EV SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2024 Kia Niro EV is a compact EV that comes in two trim levels: Wind and Wave. Both have a 64.8-kWh battery pack that's good for an EPA-estimated 253 miles of range (280 miles in Edmunds' testing). They also have a 201-horsepower electric motor that powers the front wheels. Keep reading for our breakdown of the significant features that you get with each trim.
Which Niro EV trim does Edmunds recommend?
It's not often that we recommend a range-topping trim, but in this case the Wave model makes plenty of sense. For a rather reasonable price premium over the base Wind, you get a long list of upgrades that contribute to improved convenience, comfort and safety. For those in cold climates, we suggest adding the Preserve package.
