About Kia Niro EV

Kia Niro EV range and performance

Globally the Kia Niro EV uses a single front motor making 204 PS (150 kW) and 255 Nm, with 0-100 km/h in 7.8 seconds and a 167 km/h top speed. It is tuned for efficiency and ease rather than outright pace.

The 64.8 kWh battery gives a 463 km WLTP range, with a real-world figure around 385 km - and roughly 325 km in cold conditions. That makes it a comfortable choice for daily driving and moderate intercity runs.

Kia Niro EV safety overview

The Kia Niro EV carries a 5-star Euro NCAP rating globally, with a strong ADAS suite that includes forward collision-avoidance assist, lane keeping and lane following assist, smart cruise control with stop and go, blind spot collision-avoidance and a 360-degree surround view monitor on higher trims.

Because it is not on sale in India, it has not been tested by Bharat NCAP, so the 5-star figure quoted is the Euro NCAP result, and the India airbag and ADAS specification would only be confirmed if and when Kia launches it here.

Kia Niro EV battery and charging guide

The Niro EV supports DC fast charging up to around 85 to 94 kW, taking the battery from 10 to 80 percent in roughly 41 to 45 minutes - steady rather than the ultra-fast speeds of Kia's newer 800-volt E-GMP cars. An 11 kW AC onboard charger handles home charging, doing a full charge in about 7 hours. It uses the CCS-II port and supports V2L (up to 3.6 kW) to power external devices.

Kia Niro EV warranty details

Kia has not announced India warranty terms for the Niro EV, as it is not currently on sale here. In global markets Kia offers long warranties, and Kia India's existing EVs come with an 8-year or 1,60,000 km battery warranty - a reasonable guide to what to expect, but unconfirmed for the Niro EV in India.
