2025 Kia Niro EV still costs ,975 despite added standard equipment


The 2025 Kia Niro EV receives a few more standard features, but costs the same as the 2024 model.

That means pricing still starts at $40,975—including a $1,375 destination fee—for the Niro EV Wind base model. For 2025, the Wind receives a larger 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and switches to a rotary shifter.

The higher-level Wave grade costs $45,975 with destination. For 2025, it adds blind-spot monitoring, a 10-way power front-passenger seat, and head-up display as standard equipment. A rear parking-collision avoidance system and Smart Park Assist semi-automated parking are new additions to the option list.

The Niro EV still offers an EPA-rated 253 miles of range from a 64.8-kwh battery pack. An 11-kw onboard charger allows for a full charge in around seven hours from a Level 2 AC source. DC fast charging, with a maximum power rate of 85 kw, can accomplish a 10%-80% charge in around 45 minutes.

A single permanent-magnet motor sends 201 hp and 188 lb-ft of torque to the front wheels. Kia says this will get the Niro EV from 0-62 mph in 7.8 seconds. In a test drive review of the current-generation Niro EV, we found this front-wheel drive vehicle was a bit traction-limited at freeway-merging speeds, but quick and quiet in other conditions.

Kia continues to offer hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of the Niro, which cost $28,365 and $35,865 for the 2025 model year, respectively. All three Niro variants serve as the entry points in the Kia lineup for their respective powertrains, with the Niro EV slotted below the Kia EV6 and EV9 crossovers. But a report earlier this year claimed that the Kia EV3 will be built in Mexico to a hit a $30,000 price point, undercutting the Niro.
