Kia Niro EV 2022–2025 car dimensions: 4420 mm long, 1825 mm wide and 1570 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,739 kg. Braked towing is 750 kg.
The Niro EV 3 cabin pairs dual 10.25-inch screens for instruments and navigation with standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Automatic dual-zone climate control keeps temperatures steady for driver and passenger. Smart cruise control with stop-and-go handles motorway traffic, while lane keep assist and lane follow assist centre the car. Forward collision-avoidance braking covers cars, pedestrians, cyclists and junctions. Blind-spot collision-avoidance warning and rear cross-traffic assist add side and reverse protection. Front and rear parking sensors plus a reversing camera with guidelines make tight spots straightforward.
Boot space measures 475 litres with seats up and expands to 1,392 litres when the 60:40 rear bench folds flat. A 20-litre frunk under the bonnet stores the charging cable so the main load area stays clear. The high load lip is the main drawback for heavy items, but the wide opening and adjustable floor board help everyday packing.
Braked towing capacity is 750 kg, enough for a small trailer or light caravan. Unbraked limit is 300 kg. Payload sits at 518 kg, suitable for family luggage and shopping but not heavy commercial loads.
No heavy-duty cooling or reinforced suspension is listed. Vehicle-to-load sockets on the 3 grade let you power external devices from the battery, handy for camping or site work.
The cabin has dual 10.25-inch displays for instruments and navigation. Heated front seats and heated steering wheel come standard. Driver's seat is power-adjustable with lumbar support. Cloth and artificial leather upholstery is fitted. The electric powertrain keeps the cabin quiet. Recycled materials appear throughout. Space is good for front and rear passengers with USB-C ports in the seatbacks.
