In the interest of expanding our long-term experience with plug-in hybrids, a segment that keeps growing in popularity as it splits the difference between EVs and hybrids, we welcome a 2024 Kia Niro PHEV to our fleet for 40,000 miles.
The Kia Niro PHEV pairs a 1.6-liter four-cylinder gas engine with an 83-hp electric motor sandwiched between the engine and automatic transmission.
While the gas engine itself only produces 104 horsepower and 106 pound-feet of torque, net output for the combined powertrain is a solid 180 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque.
We opted for the SX Touring trim, which starts at $41,515, or $5750 more than the base trim.
SX Touring models get larger wheels, a power sunroof, a power liftgate, an upgraded audio system, and front seats with both heating and ventilation.
We tossed in some $175 carpeted floor mats and a $95 cargo mat, bringing our grand total to $41,785.
The Niro arrived with its break-in completed, so we were able to test it right away.
The Niro PHEV made it to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds and finished the quarter mile in 15.8 seconds at 89 mph.
The Niro's interior is pretty straightforward, offering a mix of touchscreen and physical controls.
The seats aren't too bad either!
