Driving Experience
The 2025 Kia Niro PHEV provides a smooth driving experience, combining the benefits of an electric vehicle with the extended range and power of the hybrid engine. Its compact size and responsive handling make it easy to navigate urban environments, while the larger electric-only range offers freedom from gasoline for shorter daily commutes. The available drive modes allow for a more dynamic or eco-friendly ride depending on your needs.

The regenerative braking system is a key feature, allowing drivers to fine-tune the amount of braking energy recovery, which further extends electric range. When the battery runs out of charge, the hybrid engine seamlessly takes over to continue delivering excellent fuel economy.

The 2025 Niro PHEV will likely be a great option for those who want to enjoy the best of both worlds  the quiet, emissions-free driving of an electric vehicle and the long-range convenience of a hybrid.
