The overview
The redesigned 2023 Niro is very sensible and economical. Even though it is only a front-wheel-drive model, its overall functionality rivals that of most small SUVs. Handling and braking have been improved, and the ride is mostly comfortable, but the cabin is loud. The hybrid achieved an excellent 45 mpg overall. Unfortunately, the controls are now less friendly than before, and outward visibility is hurt by the elimination of the third side window. The Niro is also offered as a plug-in hybrid with an estimated electric range of 33 miles before transitioning to regular hybrid operation. The pure EV version has an EPA range of 253 miles. AEB with pedestrian detection, AEB highway, BSW, and RCTW are standard.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
