The overview

The second-generation Niro offers buyers three efficient modes of transport, with traditional hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric models. The electric version is one of the best among affordable EVs with an EPA-estimated range of 253 miles. The 11 kW on-board charger allows home charging on the quicker side but with only a meager 85 kW max acceptance rate for public DC-chargers, charging on the go is slow. Acceleration is immediate and feels effortless. Ride and handling are better than the Niro hybrid. Hatchback versatility is an asset, as is a roomy rear seat and compact footprint for easy urban maneuverability. Unfortunately, some controls are not intuitive, particularly the split audio/climate panel can be distracting to use. Rear and side visibility are compromised due to the thick rear pillar. 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.
