2024 KIA Niro EV Wind

The Niro EV is Kia's compact electric crossover, a practical choice for daily driving with a focus on efficiency and value. It accelerates smoothly and quietly, with enough punch for city driving and a composed feel on the highway. Inside, the cabin is roomy for its size, with a clean dashboard and generous cargo space behind the second row. As an EV, it skips gas stations entirely, and charging at home keeps running costs low. The Wind is the base Niro EV, so you give up the Wave's heated steering wheel and a few extra convenience features, but you keep the same range and save thousands. Its electric motor makes 201 horsepower and 188 lb-ft of torque, driving the front wheels through a single-speed transmission, and it's good for 253 miles of range on a full charge. Standard on the Wind are 17-inch wheels and a 10.25-inch touchscreen, but you'll want to add the optional cold-weather package if you live where winters bite.
