The 2025 Kia Niro's three distinct powertrains give you the freedom to choose how you want to drive cleaner without changing how you live. Each version brings specific advantages that match different lifestyles across the Kawartha Lakes region.
Matching Power to Your Purpose
Your daily driving habits point directly to your ideal Niro powertrain. The all-electric Niro EV delivers 201 horsepower with instant response, perfect for drivers wanting zero-emission trips between Lindsay and Peterborough. The hybrid system combines for 139 horsepower while achieving 4.4 L/100km, ideal for frequent highway drives. The plug-in hybrid brings 180 horsepower and the ability to handle most local trips on pure electric power before switching seamlessly to hybrid operation.
Range That Works for You
Your driving confidence comes from knowing exactly how far you can go. The Niro EV travels 407 kilometres on a single charge, covering several days of typical Ontario driving. The hybrid stretches fuel efficiency beyond 900 kilometres per tank through its advanced power management. The plug-in hybrid offers 55 kilometres of pure electric driving before transitioning to hybrid mode, reaching 835 kilometres of total range.
Cold Weather Performance
Ontario winters demand vehicles that perform regardless of temperature. The Niro EV includes a sophisticated heat pump that maintains range while warming the cabin efficiently. Both hybrid powertrains start reliably in freezing conditions and warm up quickly. Each version includes heated seats, heated steering wheel, and winter-specific drive modes that optimize performance in snow and ice.
Smart Storage Solutions
Your active lifestyle requires flexible cargo space that adapts to every season. The electric and hybrid models provide 1,805 litres of cargo volume with the rear seats folded, while the plug-in hybrid offers 1,546 litres. The available smart power liftgate opens automatically when you approach with your hands full, perfect for loading sports equipment or cottage supplies.
Technology That Simplifies Your Day
Advanced features in every Niro enhance your daily routine without complication. The 10.25-inch touchscreen works seamlessly with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for intuitive connectivity. Available Digital Key 2 Touch transforms your phone into your car key, while wireless charging keeps your devices powered without cables. Dual-zone climate control maintains your preferred temperature automatically, and remote start through the Kia Connect app prepares your Niro before you step outside.
