2023 Kia Niro EV Interior

The Kia Niro EV is well equipped even in the base EX trim, with standard power front seats, heated front seats, and a 7.0-inch digital driver’s display, and upgrading to the EX Premium trim brings features such as ventilated front seats, power sunroof, and wireless charging. The facilities also add up. Unfortunately, both trim levels suffer from an excess of black plastic throughout the interior which isn’t pleasant to look at or touch. The Kia Niro EV features an intuitive two-zone automatic climate control system, which also has the option to switch off the passenger climate control when the seat is unoccupied to save energy. This helps the electric vehicle maximize efficiency and allows more battery to be used towards driving range.
