2025 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2025 Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid is a compact crossover SUV available in EX and SX Touring trim levels. Each has a plug-in hybrid powertrain based on a 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine paired with two electric motors and an 11.1-kWh battery pack. Total system output is 180 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, which is routed through a six-speed automatic transmission to the front wheels. All-wheel drive is not available. All-electric range is estimated at 33 miles.
Which Niro Plug-In Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?
We recommend the EX base trim, which costs $6,000-plus less than the SX Touring but comes with plenty of standard features like heated front seats, a wireless phone charger, and an array of useful driver assist features. The added features on the SX Touring are nice, but we don't think they justify such a significant price increase.
