2020 Kia Niro and 2020 Kia Niro PHEV: Prices and specifications

The 2020 Niro family has 3 members, the Niro Hybrid, Niro PHEV (plug-in hybrid), of which we will look at the specifications, features and prices, and then there is also the Niro EV, all-electric. This little compact crossover has been attracting a lot of fans since its release in 2017, and frankly, that's not surprising. For its new year, the 2020 Kia Niro gets a little facelift, including new headlights, a new grille, fog lights, LED daytime running lights, new wheels and, at the rear, the skid plate was widened.

Let's take a closer look at the features of each of the 2020 Niro models, starting with the Niro L, Kia Niro's entry-range version with a base price of $26,595. The latter, like the EX, EX Premium and SX Touring versions, requires the services of a 1.6-litre 4-cylinder engine, an electric motor and a 6-speed automatic transmission, for a combined output of 139 horsepower and torque of 195 lb-ft, respectively.

The EX Premium and SX variants of the 2020 Niro PHEV rely on the same engine. The L, EX and EX Premium models give you ridiculously low fuel economy ratings of just 4.6/5.1/4.8 L/100 km, while the SX Touring boosts these figures to 5.1/5.8/5.4 L/100 km (city/highway/combined). The PHEV EX Premium and SX will also give you remarkable results with 4.9/5.3/5.1 L/100 km. In fact, no matter which Niro you choose, you won't have to worry about soaring oil prices in Montreal or elsewhere.

In contrast to its low fuel consumption, the Niro's equipment is incredibly generous with features like heated front seats, air conditioning, heated outside mirrors, fog lights, cruise control, Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and so much more.

And as if that weren’t enough, it's loaded with safety features, and when you're out of town, it's also very versatile. The Niro Hybrid gives you up to 1,789 litres of cargo space with the rear seats folded down, and the PHEV up to 1,543 litres. Not bad for a city car, isn’t it?
