Kia - Niro ()

The Kia Niro is the compact hybrid that has quietly redefined value‑for‑money in the crossover segment. Launched in 2020, the 2022 model year flatly combined a mileage‑savvy powertrain with a surprisingly generous interior, and it has already carved a niche as one of the most budget‑friendly plug‑in hybrids on the market. If you’re crunching the Kia Niro price for a new unit or assessing a used budget, this guide will break down every number you need, from core specs to depreciation patterns and how the Niro stacks up against its rivals.

• Engine: 1.6‑liter inline‑4 (2.0 L for the PHEV variant)
• Motor: 114 hp (electronic motor only) / 213 hp (combined for PHEV)
• Transmission: 6‑speed manual (Niro) or 8‑speed dual‑clutch (PHEV)
• Drive Type: Front‑wheel drive; all‑wheel drive optional on PHEV
• Fuel: 1.6‑liter gasoline + 23‑kWh battery (PHEV); 1.6‑liter gasoline only (non‑PHEV)
• Battery Capacity: 8.9 kWh (non‑PHEV), 23 kWh (PHEV)
• Electric‑Only Range: 29 mi (non‑PHEV) / 35 mi (PHEV)
• Combined MPG: 57 mpg (non‑PHEV) / 74 mpg‑e (PHEV)
• Zero‑to‑60 mph: 7.8 s (PHEV) / 8.2 s (non‑PHEV)
• Length: 163.3 in
• Wheelbase: 106.3 in
• Width: 72.4 in
• Height: 63.5 in
• Cargo: 23.6 ft³ (rear seats folded)
• Weight: 3,169 lb (non‑PHEV) / 3,587 lb (PHEV)
• Safety: Advanced Driver Assistance Package (ADAS) included; 5‑star NHTSA rating

These specifications aren’t just numbers—they’re the foundation for how the Kia Niro price changes over time and what you can expect when buying new or second‑hand.

Depreciation Insights: What Is a Kia Niro Worth Over Time?

A car’s resale value is often its most critical economic factor for the owner. For the Niro, this depreciation curve is relatively mild compared to full‑size SUVs or luxury hybrids.

• First Year: Typically loses 15‑20 % of its value. For a 2022 Niro purchased at a Kia Niro price of $25,000, the resale might hover around $20,000 by the end of year one.
• Second Year: Depreciation slows to about 12‑15 %. A used 2021 model will retain roughly 74 % of its original value after two years.
• Third Year: Losses taper to 8‑10 %. A 2020 Niro might sit at approximately $27 k in the used car market, still a compelling bargain.
• Beyond Five Years: Replaceable components and battery age drive value. The used Kia Niro price at this stage tends to be 45‑55 % of the initial MSRP.

In brief, the Kia Niro depreciation profile is modest, making it a smart long‑term asset for eco‑conscious drivers. That said, battery health is the single most critical factor. A used Niro’s value often hinges on the remaining capacity of the 23‑kWh pack in the PHEV or the 8.9‑kWh in the hybrid.

Comparison Context: How Does the Niro Stack Up Against Similar Models?

When you compare the Niro to other compact crossovers, it consistently delivers the best overall value in the U.S. market. A typical comparison might look like this:

• Nissan Leaf – Electric‑only town‑car; better range but less cargo space.
• Hyundai Kona – Competitor in the hybrid segment;  smaller battery leads to slightly less
