Following a complete redesign for 2023, the attractively sized Niro is back and continues to offer three different forms of electrification. Choices include a standard hybrid unit (1.6-litre four-cylinder, 139 horsepower), a plug-in hybrid variant (output increased to 180 horsepower, 55 km of pure electric range) and a fully electric powertrain (201 horsepower, 407 km of range). Some customers might complain about the lack of all-wheel drive, but not when it comes to pricing or fit and finish.
