Used 2023 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2023 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid comes in EX and SX Touring trims. Both come with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and a 62-kW electric motor that combine for 180 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive are standard.
Which Niro Plug-In Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?
The Niro is all about electric miles for the dollar, and the EX hits the value sweet spot. It lacks some of the SX Touring's conveniences, but it covers the essentials with heated front seats, navigation, dual dash displays, a fine complement of driver assistance features, and 33 miles of electric range. Spending more for the SX Touring makes less sense when you consider some of the other larger and more capable competitors in this class.
