What's New for the 2026 Kia Niro EV?
For 2026, the Niro EV continues as a carryover model in the U.S. and Canada with only minor updates.
What Are the 2026 Niro EV Trims & Features?
Kia offers the Niro EV in two feature-packed trim levels: Wind and Wave. The value-focused Wind trim brings a lot to the table. It comes standard with several great tech features, including a 10.25-inch touchscreen display with navigation and a wireless phone charger. Conveniences, such as Smart Key with remote start, make this trim even more rewarding. You'll also appreciate the Niro EV Wind's striking exterior, which flaunts a stylish set of 17-inch alloy wheels.
The Wave trim is even more luxurious. While ventilated front seats elevate comfort on hot days, a Harman Kardon premium audio system gives your music an especially powerful sound. Other notable upgrades include a sunroof, a head-up display, and Remote Smart Parking Assist.

How Much Horsepower Does the Niro EV Have?
The Niro EV's electric powertrain develops up to 201 horsepower. Its near-instant torque promotes strong acceleration. An impressive electric range gives you more reason to love this versatile crossover. Both trims use a front-wheel drive system. A low center of gravity also helps the Niro EV to offer great handling.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Niro EV Include?
Several driver-assistance features come standard on the new Niro EV. Even when turning left at intersections, Kia's Enhanced Auto Emergency Braking System can detect and react to potential hazards. Meanwhile, Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control automatically adjusts your driving speed when necessary. Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Highway Driving Assist, and Blind-Spot Detection are also standard features.
