While Kia’s sleek EV6 and family-friendly EV9 have stolen the spotlight, the Niro EV continues to quietly impress. The 2025 model, with its familiar silhouette, offers a compelling blend of efficiency and practicality.
The 2025 Niro EV is available in two trims: Wind and Wave. Pricing remains similar to the 2024 model, starting at $39,600 for the Wind and $44,600 for the Wave (excluding the $1,375 destination charge).
Even the base Wind trim is well-equipped, featuring:
- 17-inch alloy wheels
- LED lighting
- Power tailgate
- 10.25-inch infotainment and digital cluster
- Wireless charging
- Keyless entry and start
- Heated front seats
The Wave trim adds luxury and convenience with:
- LED fog lights
- Power sunroof
- Harman Kardon audio
- Ventilated front seats
- Heated steering wheel
- Enhanced safety features
Both trims share a 201-hp electric motor, propelling the Niro EV from 0-62 mph in 7.8 seconds. The 64.8 kWh battery pack offers a range of 253 miles.
Charging options include:
- 11 kW AC: 6 hours 5 minutes
- 50 kW DC: 65 minutes
- 100 kW DC: 45 minutes
- 350 kW DC: 43 minutes to 80%
While the Niro EV might not have the futuristic appeal of its newer siblings, it offers a practical and efficient electric driving experience.
