<\/p>\nKia America has announced pricing for the 2024 Niro EV as the battery-electric subcompact crossover enters the second model year of its second generation.<\/p>\n
The 2024 Kia Niro EV starts at $40,925 (including $1,325 destination), making it only $180 more expensive than last year.<\/p>\n
The vehicle itself actually costs $150 more, with the remaining $30 coming from the higher destination charge, which is now $1,325 compared to $1,295 for the 2023 model year. As before, the base price corresponds to the entry-level Wind trim, while the better equipped Wave trim starts at $45,925 (including destination) \u2013 also $180 more expensive than last year.<\/p>\n
Despite the minimal price increase, Kia says the Niro EV actually brings more content. It only offers one example, though, the dual-level cargo floor that has been added as a standard feature to enhance practicality and utility.<\/p>\n
Other changes include the discontinuation of the Fire Orange Metallic exterior paint from the entire Niro lineup and the Light Grey interior color package from the Niro EV Wind trim.<\/p>\n
The 2024 Kia Niro EV carries over with the same single motor powertrain that consists of a 64.8-kilowatt-hour battery and a permanent magnet synchronous motor on the front axle that delivers 201 horsepower and 188 pound-feet of torque.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The EPA-estimated range rating stays the same at 253 miles, while the EPA-estimated MPGe rating remains unchanged as well at 113 MPGe combined. Charging the battery from 10 to 80 percent takes about 45 minutes when connected to a DC fast charger.<\/p>\n
As far as standard equipment goes, the base Niro EV Wind trim is well-equipped with exterior features including 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic LED headlights, heated mirrors, automatic wipers, privacy glass, and a power liftgate. <\/p>\n
Inside, it gets an eight-way power driver seat, upholstery combining cloth and faux leather, heated front seats, faux leather-wrapped steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, 10.25-inch instrument and infotainment screens, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, five USB ports, wireless phone charging, and a Harman Kardon six-speaker sound system.<\/p>\n
On top of all this, the $45,925 Niro EV Wave trim adds upgraded headlights, fog lights, power-folding mirrors, sunroof, an eight-way power passenger seat, driver memory settings, full faux-leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, and more.<\/p>\n
The Niro EV Wave also gets the upgraded Highway Driving Assist 2 system, the Smart Park automated parking assist, parking sensors and rear automatic emergency braking. <\/p>\n
Finally, the Niro EV Wave is equipped with the vehicle-to-load (V2L) inverter that enables the crossover to power electronic devices or even other electric vehicles.<\/p>\n
