Trim level differences

The 2020 Niro Plug-In Hybrid is available in three trim levels: LXS, EX and EX Premium. All three trims come with a plug-in hybrid system that's good for 139 horsepower. The EPA estimates it'll be good for 26 miles of electric range and 46 mpg in combined driving once the hybrid battery is depleted. Feature highlights include:

Standard features on this base trim level include:

  • Dual-zone climate control
  • 8-inch touchscreen with four-speaker sound system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Keyless entry and ignition

EX
The midgrade EX trim adds:

  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Leather seats with cloth inserts
  • Heated front seats
  • Wireless phone charger
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Niro and the car in front)

EX Premium

Which Niro Plug-In Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?

We think the midlevel EX trim is the way to go. You get the same electric range as the more expensive EX Premium model as well as desirable features such as heated seats and some driver assist functions.
