Experience Efficiency with this 2025 Kia Plug-in Hybrid

Plug-in hybrids give you the best of both worlds with the ability to switch between super-efficient hybrid and electric-only power. The 2025 Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid is remarkably competitive, with an impressive powertrain, agile handling, and amenities ideal for modern drivers. See why the Niro PHEV is the perfect match for your daily routine today.  

The Niro PHEV measures shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the best plug-in hybrids on the road today with an estimated combined mileage of 108 MPGe. When you switch from the PHEV motor to the electric-only drive battery, you can travel about 33 miles on a full charge. This short-distance all-electric range is perfect for traveling around town to buy groceries or pick up the kids from sports practice. 

Mechanics

The Niro PHEV EX is powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder gas motor and a full parallel hybrid system. A full parallel hybrid motor delivers the combined power of the electric motor and gas engine to the wheels for well-rounded performance and quick acceleration. The combined output of this engine is 180 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. You can charge the drive battery in under three hours with a Level 2 charger. 

The PHEV powertrain is paired with a front-wheel drivetrain that delivers responsive acceleration. A six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is standard, along with a convenient rotary shifter dial. This hybrid SUV also has an anti-lock brake system to enhance cornering stability and overall traction on slippery roads. 

Driver Assistance

The Niro PHEV EX comes with a variety of advanced driver-assistance systems to improve your traveling experience. The Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control system uses navigation data to predict when to slow down if there is a curve in the road, maintains a safe following distance, and functions like a traditional cruise control system by regulating your pre-set cruising speed. This system works in stop-and-go traffic for maximum efficiency.

Highway Driving Assist is a system that controls the distance between your SUV and the car ahead, while also centralizing your vehicle position while you’re on the highway. In the city, you can use the Driver Attention Warning with Leading Vehicle Departure Alert to grab your attention when the car ahead moves from a stopped position, such as when you are waiting at a red light. 

Amenities

The EX has a five-passenger seating capacity. The 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat has two-way lumbar support to maximize your comfort and reduce driver fatigue. Along with the folding 60/40 rear bench seat, you can customize the cargo space of this PHEV with the dual-level cargo floor, which also comes with a cargo cover to keep your cargo hidden. 

The Niro PHEV is a highly functional hybrid SUV for drivers who spend a lot of time on the road. Test out the handling of this efficient model when you visit Kia of Marin in Novato, CA.
