Drive Smarter with the 2025 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid at Kia of East Hartford
If you’re shopping for a vehicle that’s smart, efficient, and loaded with style, the 2025 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid should be at the top of your list. Here at Kia of East Hartford, we’re proud to offer this sleek, compact crossover that combines an impressive electric range, excellent fuel economy, and the flexibility of hybrid power – all without sacrificing comfort or tech.
Whether you're comparing it against all-electrics, the 2025 Niro Plug-In Hybrid holds up with a fresh face and smart features. It's also a notch above its Kia brethren, with more electric-only range than the regular Niro hybrid and better long-distance capability than the all-electric Niro EV.
The 2025 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid is available in two trim levels:
- EX
- SX Touring
Both trims offer a distinct blend of comfort, style, and innovation. With either trim, you'll have a five-passenger plug-in hybrid SUV perfect for Hartford commutes, weekend trips, and all the adventures in between.
Interior Review: Comfortable and Clever Features
Hop inside the 2025 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid, and it quickly becomes clear that this compact SUV punches well above its weight. With two roomy rows and seating for up to five passengers, this cabin blends practical design with upscale touches. You’ll find an impressive 105.1 cubic feet of passenger space, along with 54.6 cubic feet of cargo room with the rear seats folded, and 19.4 cubic feet when they’re up.
The seats are upholstered in a combination of cloth and SynTex™ on the EX trim level, while the SX Touring features perforated SynTex™. Both are comfortable for long drives, and the front seats are heated, ideal for Connecticut's cold mornings. The rear seats fold flat when you need to transport more cargo, and the dual-zone climate control optional keeps everyone cozy, no matter the season.
Families will love the conventional LATCH system for car seats and thoughtful storage bins that remain organized on the go. Add rear A/C vents, soft-touch trim, and a more than adequately quiet ride, and the Niro PHEV makes each trip feel first-class.
Exterior Review: Sleek Features with Smart Details
The 2025 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid stands out but not to excess. It is modern, refined, and decidedly Kia. Slender LED headlights and a characteristic front grille contribute to a confident yet welcoming face, and aerodynamic shapes save fuel. A signature "aero blade" on the rear pillar isn't just hip to look at, but helps streamline air flow around the vehicle.
Standard roof rails offer functionality, perfect for weekend trips with bikes or a roof box. SX Touring also has an innovative power liftgate that opens automatically when you are standing behind it – you don't have to use your hands. EX comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, while the SX Touring features stylish 18-inch wheels.
Select from eye-catching exterior colors such as:
- Snow White Pearl
- Steel Gray
- Runway Red
- Mineral Blue
- Aurora Black Pearl
- Cityscape Green
Whether you’re parked at the local farmers market or heading out on a weekend getaway, the Niro PHEV fits right in.
Efficient Performance With Plug-In Power
Under the hood, the 2025 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid marries gas and electric power for ultimate versatility. It features a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine paired with a robust electric motor, producing a combined 180 horsepower and delivering up to 195 lb-ft of torque. That's more than enough for daily driving – and it goes like the wind from a standstill, thanks to the electric torque.
A six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission offers smooth gear changes and effortless highway cruising. Front-wheel drive is standard, and although the Niro PHEV is not off-road-capable, it handles well on pavement with responsive steering and agile city driving.
This compact crossover really shines with fuel economy. Based on preliminary estimates, you can expect up to 33 miles of electric-only range, which is perfect for quick town commutes in Hartford or shopping around town. When the battery runs out, the gasoline engine will engage quietly.
Whether you're cutting through Hartford traffic or coasting on I-91, the plug-in hybrid delivers a ride that’s both silky and firm. Even the regenerative braking brings back power into the battery you put through your travels, each trip, which is slightly more economical.
Do you need to tow a piece of gear? Enjoy the towing capability just right for that small trailer or bike carrier. It's superb for light chores and escapades.
