Overview

The Kia Niro EV Long Range (2022-…) is an all-electric front-wheel drive SUV. It came out in 2022 replacing the older Kia Niro EV Standard Range (2019-2022). Brand new, the car starts around $39,600.

The Kia Niro EV Long Range (2022-…) has a 68 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 242 mi on a single charge — ranked №411 out of 852 electric vehicles.

The car is named Niro EV in Asia and North America and e-Niro in Europe.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Kia Niro EV Long Range (2022-…) achieves a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 7.1 seconds (placing it at №54 out of 118 ranked positions, among 852 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and attains a maximum speed of 104 mph.

Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 150 kW (201 hp) and a torque of 188 lb-ft.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

Kia Niro EV Long Range (2022-…) achieves a real-world range of 242 miles, placing it at №126 among 253 ranked positions. However, this range is subject to several influences:

Speed: Traveling at higher speeds reduces battery life.
Temperature: Extreme cold or hot weather can affect range.
Terrain: Hilly or mountainous landscapes decrease range.
Driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
Feature usage: Climate control and media systems also influence range.

It's important to acknowledge that these are estimations, and your actual driving range may differ. Consider these factors when planning your trip and be ready for potential charging stops.

Utilize the interactive EV Navigation map for trip planning assistance.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Kia Niro EV Long Range (2022-…) in the USA comes with a CCS Type 1 charging port. It can be charged at home using a standard domestic socket or at any public AC charging station with the compatible cable. It's important to note that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 11 kW, resulting in approximately 37 miles of range added per hour of charging.

For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 85 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.

Use EV Charging Calculator to estimate charging time, rate, and cost.

How big is it? What are the dimensions (length, width, height)?

The size and weight specifications for Kia Niro EV Long Range (2022-…) are as follows:

Length: 174 in
Width: in (including side mirrors) or 71.9 in (excluding side mirrors)
