2027 Kia Niro Hybrid Model Review - Phoenix, AZ

What's New for the 2027 Kia Niro Hybrid?

For the 2027 model year, the Kia Niro Hybrid receives a mid-cycle refresh. You will immediately notice its redesigned front fascia, which incorporates Kia's latest Star Map daytime running lights. At the rear, new 3D-style taillamps further contribute to the SUV's updated appearance. Ivory Silver and Sunset Beige are the lineup's two new exterior colors.

Inside, there's an available panoramic curved display housing a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen. While the Niro Hybrid's performance specs remain unchanged, Kia has improved ride comfort and cabin quietness. Other notable changes include an expanded suite of Kia Drive Wise safety technologies and a new "Hey Kia" AI voice assistant.

What Are the 2027 Niro Hybrid Trims & Features?

Kia offers the Niro Hybrid in five trim levels: LX, S, EX, SX, and SX Touring.

The value-packed LX trim is the lineup's popular entry point. Some of its standard equipment includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone connectivity, Smart Key with push-button start, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

The Niro S is the lineup's newest addition. It adds some nice convenience features, including heated front seats and Smart Cruise Control.

Another step up the trim ladder is the Niro EX. While front and rear parking sensors help you better maneuver in tight spots, a wireless charger enables you to keep your smartphone juiced up.

If you crave more luxury, consider the Niro SX. Music fans can enjoy the Harman Kardon premium audio system, while ventilated front seats elevate passenger comfort. A power sunroof also comes equipped on the SX trim. At the top of the lineup sits the upscale SX Touring trim, which adds premium features like a 360-degree camera and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster.
