2025 Kia Niro EV Gets The Same Price As Last Year

Kia has just announced pricing for the electric version of its Niro trilogy for 2025. The fully-electric version of the compact hatchback will have the same starting price as last year and one extra important safety feature. The big change for the Niro EV this year will help keep back seat passengers safer in the event of a crash.

Pricing Is Unchanged Across The Board

The 2025 Kia Niro EV is offered in base Wind grade and upscale Wave. The former starts from $39,600 plus $1,375 destination fee, both the same price as last year. The top Wave trim, starts from $44,600 plus destination, again the same as last year.

Kia’s new feature is standard seatbelt pre-tensioners for the rear seats. This feature, already found in the front of most vehicles, including the Niro, tightens the belts in the first moments of a crash. Tightening the belts helps make sure that the seat’s occupants are in the right place and held securely in the event of a crash.

Standard safety features include blind spot warning, lane keep assist, rear cross-traffic warning, high beam assist, and navigation-based cruise control. Wave adds Highway Drive Assist II with lane changes, rear collision avoidance, parking sensors, and remote Smart Park assist.

The Wave trim also includes LED fog lights, heated mirrors, heated steering wheel, perforated faux-leather seats with ventilation and seat position memory, and Harman Kardon audio. An energy-saving heat pump is optional on both grades, a smart way to help buyers of the more affordable model get the highest efficiency.
