Five Reasons to Consider the 2025 Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid

The 2025 Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid is an incredibly versatile plug-in electric SUV. Not only is this model optimized for eco-friendly travel with an efficient hybrid motor, but it also has an electric motor that can travel up to 33 miles on electric-only power, which means you can eliminate carbon emissions for short-range travel around town. Explore all the reasons why drivers and critics are excited about the all-new Niro PHEV today. 

1. Intuitive Driver Assistance Technology

The Niro PHEV comes outfitted with Drive Wise technology, like Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Curve. This intelligent adaptive cruise control system uses navigation data to predict when to speed up or slow down based on upcoming curves in the road, functions in bumper-to-bumper traffic, and regulates driving speed for optimal efficiency. Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, Lane Following Assist, and Blind-Spot Collision Warning are also standard. 

2. Dynamic Parking Software

A Rear-View Monitor with Dynamic Parking Guidance is part of the standard safety equipment on the Niro PHEV. When the PHEV is in reverse gear, the central display will show a real-time view of the space behind the vehicle so you can identify pedestrians, rear cross-traffic, and other obstacles. If you are backing into a parking space, a built-in grid the same width as the bumper will help guide the vehicle straight.

3. Refined Hill Control Systems

This PHEV has advanced systems to control braking power when the vehicle encounters a steep hill. The Hill-Start Assist Control system works by holding the brake pressure for up to two seconds when the driver switches from the brake pedal to the gas pedal if the PHEV is idling on a hill to prevent rolling backward into traffic. 

Downhill Brake Control modifies downhill travel speed by engaging the anti-lock braking system. With this feature, downhill descent speed is locked at 5 MPH to avoid speeding, and so the driver can focus on steering the vehicle straight. 

4. Weatherized Exterior Features

The Niro PHEV also has key exterior features that can stand up to all kinds of weather situations. The power-adjustable side-view mirrors have heated glass to eliminate frost, snow, and fog buildup when the weather turns cold, which is essential for Pennsylvania drivers battling winter cold snaps. 

Automatic rain-sensing windshield wipers keep the front windshield clear of rainfall, from light drizzles to heavy downpours. A heated windshield and rear defroster are also standard. 

5. Integrated Infotainment

The Niro PHEV has a 10.25-inch infotainment display with a navigation system that provides precise turn-by-turn directions to destinations, including addresses from synced smartphones. The central display organizes smartphone-integrated apps like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, manages in-vehicle settings, and hosts a voice recognition system for hands-free features. 

The refreshed Niro PHEV is a plug-in model that’s ready for every driving situation, including harsh winter conditions, steep hills, and dense traffic. Ask about model availability at Kia of West Chester in West Chester, PA.
