2022/2023 Kia Niro Comparison at Bay City, MI

2023 Kia Niro vs. 2022 Kia Niro 

When Kia created the Niro, accessible hybrid performance was the brand's goal. Going into the 2023 model year of the Niro, Kia has redesigned the hybrid vehicle to match the concept that debuted in 2019 with the HabaNiro design. This gives the already versatile and stylish vehicle even more reasons to be a sought-after option for mid-Michigan drivers who want to have the welcome benefits of hybrid performance. Customers can still expect the redesigned 2023 Niro to have the modern ingenuity that other recent model year Kia models have at their core design philosophy.  

Performance 

Combining a 1.6L four-cylinder engine with an electric motor just like the 2022 iteration of the hybrid vehicle, the 2023 Kia Niro offers reliable hybrid performance that is suitable for everyday mid-Michigan needs. The six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that is equipped standard with the powertrain keeps acceleration responsive and smooth. FWD is the sole drivetrain option for the Niro, just like it was last year. A 180-horsepower plug-in hybrid version of the 2023 Niro is also available for more robust performance.  

Interior Features 

Innovation is at the forefront of the 2023 Niro. Through effort to improve sustainability without sacrificing quality, the cabin features a design that uses things such as eucalyptus and recycled materials to provide a refreshed and spacious interior. Passengers will also adore the ambient interior lighting that offers personalized visual appeal. Through the new 10.3-inch touchscreen on the dashboard, everyone in the hybrid SUV is treated to a modern ride thanks to the UVO infotainment system. This includes having wireless connectivity to both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for compatible devices to quickly connect with. Customers can opt to have a wireless charging pad for applicable smartphones equipped as well.  

Safety Features 

When customers look at all the standard driver-assistance technology available to them in the 2023 Kia Niro, they can be confident that they are behind the wheel of a versatile and reliable hybrid SUV. Features such as Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning provide substantial protection and monitoring of the road in front of the vehicle. The road on either side of the vehicle is also protected through standard Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keep Assist to prevent unintentional veering. Adaptive Cruise Control can be installed on select trims of the 2023 Niro as well.
