2020 Kia Niro

The Niro gets a slight face lift for 2020, with revised exterior and interior styling, new standard and available features and a renamed trim lineup. The most notable feature update is a standard 8-in infotainment system and a newly available 10.25-in unit.  See the 2020 Kia Niro models for sale near you

Each version of the Niro offers better-than-average value. The LXS model is arguably the best value, with its modern safety tech, great fuel economy and attractive price. If your budget goes higher than that, you might want to consider a hybrid variant of a bigger SUV, like the Toyota RAV4, the Honda CR-V or the Ford Escape.  Find a Kia Niro for sale

The Niro offers five grades for the hybrid. No matter how you cut it, there's a load of value in every grade. Anchoring the Niro lineup, the base LX ($24,590) comes with 16-in tires with wheel covers, automatic headlights, power outboard mirrors, power door locks, a tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel, seven airbags, 60/40 split folding back seats, an outside-temperature display, a trip computer, 6-way adjustable front bucket seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, an 8-in touchscreen UVO infotainment system with a rearview camera, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth connectivity and a 4-speaker audio system with a USB port. No factory options are available. If you upgrade to the LXS ($25,990), you get a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a leather-wrapped shift knob, push-button start and some nice safety tech, including forward-collision avoidance assist with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. The Touring ($28,290) used to be the top trim of the Niro, but it's now a value-packed midrange trim. It comes with 18-in alloy wheels, a power sunroof, a 10-way power driver's seat, extra entertainment features like SiriusXM and HD radio and more driver-assistance tech, including adaptive cruise control and lane-following assist. The Touring Special Edition ($30,790) adds some extra kit on top of the Touring trim, including an exclusive orange paint option, LED headlights, leather seating, an upgraded 10.25-in infotainment system with navigation and a Harman Kardon 8-speaker premium audio system. The EX Premium ($32,790) serves as the new top trim of the Niro hybrid. Its fuel economy is better than the Touring and the Touring Special Edition trims', and it adds rear parking sensors, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel and wireless charging. This trim forgoes leather seating and instead uses artificial leather. This is the trim to get if you want a lot of features while getting 49 mpg in combined driving. Pricing for the 2020 Kia Niro PHEV begins at $29,490 for the LXS, and goes up to $33,290 and $36,390, respectively, for the EX and EX Premium versions. The 2020 Kia Niro EV is priced a bit higher: $39,090 for the EX and $44,590 for the EX Premium.
