The Kia Niro offers three distinct eco-friendly powertrains - a self-charging Hybrid, plug-in Hybrid, and fully Electric model. Each version combines impressive efficiency with practical family-friendly features, including a spacious tech-focused interior and advanced driver assistance systems. The range spans from the efficient hybrid achieving 58 MPG to the all-electric version offering 285 miles of range.
Kia has designed this versatile SUV with sustainability in mind, featuring recycled materials throughout the cabin. Through Hippo Leasing, you can access both new and used Niro models across all powertrains, with flexible lease terms including zero-deposit options.
Why lease the Kia Niro?
The latest generation Niro excels in practicality and efficiency. The Hybrid delivers smooth performance with up to 58 MPG, while the plug-in Hybrid offers 34 miles of pure electric range, perfect for commuting. The full Electric impresses with 285 miles of range and rapid charging capability, reaching 80% in 43 minutes.
Boot space varies by powertrain - 475 litres in the hybrid, 348 litres in the PHEV, and 451 litres in the EV, which adds a useful 20-litre frunk. All versions feature dual 10.25-inch displays and comprehensive safety technology.
Why choose car leasing?
Leasing a Kia Niro provides fixed monthly payments and the opportunity to upgrade to a newer model when your agreement ends. Business users can benefit from tax advantages, particularly with the PHEV and Electric versions. Through Hippo Leasing, both personal and business lease options are available across all powertrains, with optional maintenance packages for complete peace of mind.
Who does a Kia Niro lease suit?
The Niro's range suits different needs - the Hybrid for mixed driving, plug-in Hybrid for short electric commutes with longer-range capability, and the Electric for zero-emission motoring. It's ideal for environmentally conscious families and business users seeking practicality with low running costs.
If you like Kia but need something smaller, consider the Kia Picanto, or for more space, the Kia Sportage. Alternative eco-friendly SUVs include the Hyundai Kona and Toyota C-HR.
