One Style, Three Smart Choices: Comparing the 2025 Kia Niro Lineup

The 2025 Kia Niro comes in three versions—EV, Hybrid (HEV), and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV). All share the same bold design and forward-thinking spirit, but each offers a unique approach to efficiency and driving. If you're in Markham and thinking about switching to something greener, here’s a simple way to see how these three Niros compare.

Fully Electric: Niro EV

The Niro EV is a fully electric crossover with a driving range of up to 407 kilometres on a full charge. It’s great for people who want to skip gas altogether and enjoy quiet, smooth driving. Winter features like a heat pump and remote cabin pre-conditioning through the Kia Connect app help it handle Ontario's cold weather well.

You also get extra touches like Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) power capability and available Remote Smart Parking Assist. If you're ready to go fully electric, this version gives you both range and convenience for city life and weekend drives.

Plug It In: Niro PHEV

The Niro Plug-in Hybrid blends electric and gas driving. You can go up to 55 kilometres in all-electric mode, which works well for daily errands or short commutes if you charge regularly. After that, the gas engine kicks in, giving you a total combined range of around 835 kilometres. It’s flexible and fuel-efficient but requires a charging habit to get the most out of it.

The PHEV offers similar comfort and safety features to the other models, including heated front seats, Kia Connect, and the Green Zone Drive Mode, which helps prioritize electric driving in areas like school zones or hospitals.

Simple and Efficient: Niro HEV

The Niro Hybrid is the most straightforward option. It doesn’t need to be plugged in and delivers excellent fuel economy at around 4.4 L/100 km combined. It uses regenerative braking and a gasoline-electric powertrain to help reduce emissions without changing your routine.

You’ll find the same stylish cabin, available dual 10.25-inch displays, and comfort features like heated front seats and a smart power liftgate. It's a strong choice for drivers who want something more efficient than a traditional gas vehicle, without going fully electric.

Safety and Tech—Shared Across the Lineup

No matter which Niro you choose, you’ll find advanced safety features built in. These include Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Lane Keep & Follow Assist. Technology like Digital Key 2 Touch, wireless phone charging, and the Kia Connect app are also available, making your drive more connected and convenient.

Which Niro Feels Right for You?

The 2025 Kia Niro lineup is all about giving you choice. The EV is ideal if you’re ready to go all-electric. The PHEV offers flexibility with occasional charging. And the HEV is great if you just want better fuel economy without changing much. In the end, it comes down to your lifestyle, commute, and how you want to drive.
