The 2019 Niro EV is charging ahead in the electric revolution with an EPA-estimated 239-mile range, and all the space, comfort, and versatility you’d expect from a crossover.
The 2019 Niro EV is the next evolution in the Kia EV lineup. An EPA-estimated 239-mile range1 means you can venture out of town in search of adventure, and an ever-growing network of public charging stations means you can do it with confidence.2 Plus, HOV single occupant lane eligibility in select states means you can zip past traffic even when solo.3 All this with the space, comfort, and versatility, you’d expect from a crossover.
A new spin on EV.1
The Niro EV is all about pushing boundaries and its exterior is no different. Its aerodynamic shape is designed to flow through air with minimal resistance and features an active air flap that opens and closes to help cool the motor as needed while decreasing drag and reducing wind noise. When it comes to style, an all-new faux grill keeps Kia’s distinct tiger nose motif while blue accents, sleek lines, and an athletic silhouette are punctuated by the angular ultra-modern design of available LED lighting.1
With available heated front seats and steering wheel, you can heat things up on cold days. Or cool things down on hot days with available ventilated front seats that help keep you in complete comfort.1
Despite its battery pack hidden under the rear floor, the Niro EV still comes with a spacious cargo area to fit your lifestyle. Plus, 60/40 folding rear seats let you fit larger items and offer expansive versatility for life's adventures.2
Travel in style as the distinct upholstery and blue interior accents complete the high-design aesthetic. Plus, high-end design meets high-tech, as EV specific indicators display energy flow, charging, and other important vehicle information.3

Crossover versatility carries over to charging options. With 3 types of charging options, you can journey with confidence that you can find a charge wherever the road leads — from support for high-powered DC Fast Charging to anywhere you can find a standard electrical outlet.
Charge Levels
Public Charging
Level 1 (120 V) lets you charge anywhere with the same outlet you use for home appliances, Level 2 (240 V) chargers, available at public stations and potentially for home installation, takes approximately 9-10 hours for total charge, while the (DC) Fast Chargers can deliver nearly 80% charge in about an hour.1
With more than 43,000 Level 2 (240 V) public outlets nationwide, and more being built all the time, you can plug into the expanding public grid with increasing ease. And UVO link can even help guide you to the nearest one.2
Power up when you slow down by capturing the kinetic energy of deceleration to charge your battery on the go. Plus, steering wheel mounted paddles allow you to adjust regenerative braking levels. You may choose between simplified one-pedal driving, or sailing down the road with maximum momentum.1
With an all-new EV drivetrain, the Niro EV has a combined system output of 201 horsepower and 291 ft.-lbs. of torque. Behind the wheel, punch it up a notch with the push of a button to engage sport mode.2
An innovative rotary shifter with LED indicator is surrounded by some of the most commonly used controls, so comfort is always within reach.3
A high-density, lithium-ion polymer 64 kWh battery packs enough power for extended trips, and packs unobtrusively under the rear floorboards to retain a roomy cabin feel.4
