The 2024 Kia Niro is a battery-electric SUV with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the SG2 generation. The EV Long Range is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured EV Long Range version develops 204 hp and 255 Nm (188 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 7.8 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 167 km/h (104 mph). Its power output is about 38% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 23% 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.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 64.8 kWh. The recorded electric range is 463 km (288 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 14.0 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 80 kW. Its listed range is close to the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the 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 475 litres (16.8 cu ft), expanding to 1,392 litres (49.2 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,730 kg (3,814 lb). That cargo volume is about 11% 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 battery-electric SUV models from the same period, the 2024 Kia Niro is strongest on price, while power and acceleration 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.
