Kia Niro 2022

FROM
$33,990

The 2022 Kia Niro range of configurations is currently priced from $23,755.

Our most recent review of the 2022 Kia Niro resulted in a score of 7.4 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Deputy News Editor Tom White had this to say at the time: The Kia Niro PHEV is good at quite a few things. For zero-emission daily driving it over-performs considering its tiny battery, and it has an ideal bodystyle which is nice and small for parking but huge on the inside for carrying people and things.

This is what Tom White liked most about this particular version of the Kia Niro: Great size, Decent EV range, Comfortable and easy to drive

The 2022 Kia Niro carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1300 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

Kia Niro 2022 FAQs

What's a good hybrid car to buy?

The default purchase for somebody looking for a mid-sized hybrid SUV is the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. But if that’s too big, there’s the Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid, C-HR Hybrid and even the Corolla Cross Hybrid which sounds like the marketplace is getting crowded but is really just a reflection of the appetite right now for cars like these. And that’s the catch; the waiting times for a brand-new example of some of these cars is out to many months and even years. So your plan to shop second-hand makes plenty of sense, but don’t expect any bargains in a market currently being dominated by lots of demand and less supply.

Beyond the Toyota brand (which has been doing hybrids longer than just about anybody else) there’s also the Mazda CX-30, Subaru XV Hybrid, Haval Jolion Hybrid, Kia Niro, Subaru Forester Hybrid, Nissan Qashqai e-Power, MG HS, Honda HR-V e and more. For something a bit bigger, try the Kia Sorento or Hyundai Santa Fe hybrids. There are others out there, too, that are probably bigger or more expensive than you need, but it's very much a growing scene in the Australian marketplace.
