The Kia Niro hybrid comes in five trims, each one stepping up in features from the level below. Take a look at what each trim offers:
| Trim | Standout Features | MPG Combined (Hybrid) |
|---|---|---|
| LX | 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, standard driver safety suite, LED Daytime Running Lights, 16-inch alloy wheels | 53 MPG |
| EX | 10.25-inch touchscreen, wireless phone charging, rain-sensing wipers, Smart Key entry, dual-zone automatic climate control, Kia Connect | 53 MPG |
| EX Touring | 18-inch alloy wheels, panoramic sunroof, sport interior trim accents, and all EX features included | 53 MPG |
| SX | LED projector headlights, Highway Driving Assist, Smart Parking Assist, all EX Touring features included | 53 MPG |
| SX Touring | Ventilated front seats, sport pedals, available two-tone exterior finish, all SX features included | 49 MPG |
Across all five trims, Kia backs the Niro hybrid with a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty that covers the hybrid battery. That long-term coverage makes the ownership picture a lot clearer when comparing the Niro to a conventional gas-powered option.

The standard Kia Niro hybrid pairs a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for a combined 139 horsepower. Power is sent to the front wheels through a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and the hybrid system manages energy automatically without driver input. LX, EX, and SX trims each return an EPA-estimated 53 MPG combined, while the SX Touring comes in at 49 MPG combined due to its added equipment and larger wheels.
For drivers who want to cover shorter daily trips primarily on electricity, the plug-in hybrid adds a larger battery to the same basic platform. And the Niro EV takes things fully electric for zero-emission daily driving. Schedule a test drive and see how each powertrain performs on the streets of Indianapolis, IN, before you decide.
All Niro trims come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the connection process is quick and uncomplicated. Step up to the EX and the touchscreen grows noticeably larger, and you also get wireless phone charging and rain-sensing wipers. Those wipers are worth calling out because Indiana weather shifts fast, and not having to reach for a dial mid-drive is actually useful in the real world. Dual-zone automatic climate control is also available on the EX, so the driver and passenger can each set their preferred temperature.
Kia Connect is available on upper trims and links to a compatible smartphone or Amazon Alexa device for remote start, vehicle status checks, and climate control from your phone before you get in the car. It covers the kind of tasks that make winter mornings in Indiana a little less rough. Our team can walk you through each trim’s tech package in person.
Standard safety equipment is available across the entire Niro lineup, starting with the base LX. Forward collision-avoidance assist, lane-keeping assist, and blind spot collision warning all come built in, with no need to step up to a pricier trim to get them. Driver attention warning is also included, tracking driving patterns over time and prompting a break when it picks up signs of fatigue on longer trips.
Moving up the trim ladder adds Highway Driving Assist, which manages speed and lane position on extended highway runs, and Smart Parking Assist for tighter spots. High Beam Assist handles nighttime headlight adjustments on its own when it detects oncoming vehicles. These are the kinds of tools that work reliably in the background without demanding setup or attention.
As Indiana’s number one Kia dealer, we carry new Kia Niro inventory across our Indianapolis locations and back every sale with a finance team that works with a wide range of credit situations.

Whether you’re leaning toward the hybrid’s everyday efficiency, the plug-in’s flexibility, or the EV’s quiet ride, we can put you behind the wheel of each version so you can choose from experience, not guesswork. Stop by Ray Skillman and let our team show you what makes the Niro worth the drive.
All three share the same basic design, but it’s the powertrain that sets them apart. The standard hybrid manages fuel automatically, pairing a gas engine with an electric motor and returning up to 53 MPG combined. You never plug it in. The plug-in hybrid adds a larger battery that lets you drive on electricity for shorter trips before the gas engine takes over, which can significantly reduce fuel costs for drivers with predictable daily routines. The Niro EV runs entirely on electricity, with no gas backup. Which version makes the most sense depends on your commute length and whether you have a charging station at home.
Yes. Kia backs the Niro hybrid with a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty that includes the hybrid battery. That’s one of the stronger coverage packages in this class and gives buyers a clearer picture of long-term ownership costs compared to a standard gas-only vehicle.
You’re welcome to drive more than one version before deciding. We can put you in the hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or EV so you get a real feel for how each performs around Indianapolis, IN, rather than making a decision based on spec sheets alone. It’s one of the better ways to figure out which one actually fits your driving style.
That depends on which features matter most to you. The LX covers the basics well, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, LED daytime running lights, and the full driver safety suite. If wireless charging, a larger touchscreen, and dual-zone climate control are things you’d actually use daily, the EX adds all of those at a reasonable step up. Our team can walk you through the trim differences in person so you’re not paying for features you won’t use.
Yes. You can submit a pre-approval application online before your visit, which speeds things up once you arrive. Our finance team works with a wide range of credit situations and connects buyers with multiple lenders to find a payment structure that fits the budget.
