There are dozens of conventional gas-electric models to choose from and a growing list of plug-in hybrids with some well-known models-including the Toyota RAV4 and Toyota Prius-getting recent updates. Much has changed since hybrids first came to market two decades ago. The PHEV, meanwhile, begins at a heftier $35,035. You can get into the Hybrid LX for as little as $27,785, including the $1,295 destination fee, though the SX trim jumps to a starting $33,785 and the top SX Touring about $2,500 more. The Niro hybrid covers the most territory, offered in LX, EX, EX Touring, SX and SX Touring. As if having three different powertrain options isn’t enough, the 2023 Niro is offered with several individual trim packages. It also boasts an attractive new design inside and out. The entire Niro family gets a complete makeover for 2023, returning with a larger overall size, more room for passengers and cargo, and improved power, mileage and range. Unlike the fully electric Niro, both operate without range anxiety since their gas engine lets you keep going once the battery is depleted. The high-mileage hybrid returns better fuel efficiency than any other crossover, while the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) adds the ability to handle moderate commutes in all-electric mode. The compact crossover is offered in three distinct electrified options: A traditional hybrid, a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and a battery-electric (BEV) version, which we review separately. The Kia Niro is a distinctive proposition in the electrified compact crossover segment.
