Hybrid-Only Lineup Adds an S Trim
The 2027 model year narrows the Niro hybrid crossover to a single powertrain configuration, with the new S slotting between LX and EX. Kia states the gasoline-electric system produces a combined 139 horsepower, routed through a six-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Beyond the powertrain carryover, the company reports changes to suspension tuning, ride comfort, and cabin quietness for the new model year.
Design and Cabin Updates
The refresh brings redesigned front and rear fascias carrying Kia’s Star Map lighting elements, along with new exterior colors and an updated interior.
Driver Assistance and Connectivity Additions
Kia’s Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) is available on the 2027 Niro and brings over-the-air update capability. The company notes that over-the-air features may carry an additional cost, vary by model and trim, and require a Kia Connect subscription.
Newly available driver assistance technologies include Highway Driving Assist 2, a 360-degree Surround View Monitor, and a Blind-Spot View Monitor. Kia specifies that Highway Driving Assist operates only on certain federal highways and, like the camera-based monitors, is not a substitute for attentive driving. Trim-by-trim availability is detailed in Kia’s features and options documentation.
