The 2024 Kia Niro is a hybrid SUV with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the SG2 generation. The 1.6 HEV is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 1.6 HEV version develops 141 hp and 265 Nm (195 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 10.4 seconds, which is measured, with performance geared more toward normal driving than acceleration. Top speed is listed at 165 km/h (103 mph). Its power output is about 29% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 19% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 4.4 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 42.0 litres (11.1 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 100 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,420 mm (174.0 in) in length, 1,825 mm (71.9 in) in width, and 1,570 mm (61.8 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,720 mm (107.1 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 451 litres (15.9 cu ft), expanding to 1,445 litres (51.0 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,390 kg (3,064 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 600 kg (1,323 lb). That cargo volume is about 6% below the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of 1.6 HEV, PHEV, and EV Long Range. Across the range, the specifications span 141 hp to 204 hp, 7.8 s to 10.4 s, and 65 km to 463 km, while listed starting prices run from $29,590-$39,590. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby hybrid SUV models from the same period, the 2024 Kia Niro is strongest on price, while towing capacity and power stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
