$31,385
SX Touring Top Price
$40,485
Standard Screen Size
12.3 inches
Total System Output
139 hp

What Happened

The revised crossover arrives with updated styling and an enlarged 12.3-inch infotainment display fitted as standard equipment to replace the former 10.3-inch screen. The entry LX specification commands $31,385, marking a $2,500 rise compared with the prior model year.

Niro LX

Niro S
$32,085
Niro EX
$32,885 (+$1,200)

A new S specification slots directly above the base trim at $32,085, adding rain-sensing wipers, combination cloth and leather seating, second-row climate vents, and a heated 10-way power driver seat with two-way lumbar support.

Why this matters

The model year update consolidates the Niro range entirely around a single 139-horsepower hybrid powertrain. By discontinuing plug-in hybrid and pure electric options in North America, Kia focuses the nameplate on affordable electrification while upgrading digital displays and driver assistance features.
