With the slick Kia EV6 and the family-loving EV9, one can be forgiven for forgetting that the Kia Niro EV is still around. While the Niro EV is from a different era, it’s still going strong, and a new 2025 version now has some details announced — most importantly, pricing.
The Niro EV had 2,349 sales in the US last quarter, a bit less than half of the EV6’s 5,044 sales, but perhaps it will get a boost from the 2025 model options. Pricing for the Kia Niro EV Wind starts at $39,600, while pricing for the Kia Niro EV Wave starts at $44,600 (MSRP).
The 2025 Kia Niro EV has a 64.8 kWh battery that provides 253 miles of range on a full charge (EPA estimate). “The 2025 Niro EV retains its extensive list of features while adding even more technology. Rear seatbelt pre-tensioners are now standard on both trims, with the Wave trim receiving Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist – Rear with Parallel Exit as an additional Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS),” Kia writes. Rear seatbelt pre-tensioners? Well, it’s something…. That’s the baseline upgrade for the 2025 model.
