Kia Debuts The 2023 Niro EV At The New York Auto Show - Redesigned, V2L Capabilities, And Increased Range
Kia America unveiled its upcoming 2023 Niro EV in New York, along with new design features and performance specifications.
The Niro, like previous model years, will be available in hybrid, PHEV, and BEV variants, but we'll concentrate on the Niro EV.
According to Kia, the second generation will be a compact utility vehicle (CUV) with larger dimensions than the first. Here's how the 2023 model compares to the 2022 model.

Niro EV Model Year 2022 2023
Length 172.2 in 174 in
Wheelbase 106.3 in 107.1 in
Ground Clearance 6.1 in 6.3 in
As for Interior, there are several updates available such as;
Sleeker and more cohesive dashboard
Panoramic, dual-10.25-inch screens for the instrument cluster and infotainment system complete with state-of-the-art connectivity
Ambient mood lighting that shines in various color combinations
The increased EV length and wheelbase offer even more room for future Niro drivers and their passengers as they enjoy features like Active Sound Design to offset engine noises (if desired) and an optional eight-speaker Harman/Kardon premium sound system.
Technology-wise, there are features such as;
CarPlay and Android
Heads-Up Display (HUD) is available to project directions
Safety warnings
Vehicle speed directly into the driver’s line of sight.
Aside from a slew of ADAS features, the 2023 Kia Niro EV is available with the same vehicle-to-load (V2L) capabilities as its sibling, the EV6. The V2L generator is a game changer – as long as you have more than a 10% charge – whether you're powering your mobile office, a mini fridge, or charging another EV.
Compared to the 2022 version, the 2023 Niro sits on a lot of the same EV technology – a 64.8 kWh battery and a 150 kW motor deliver 201 horsepower. However, the expected range on the 2023 version is 253 miles, 14 miles better than its predecessor. That being said, Kia’s expected range on the 2023 Niro EV has not be confirmed by the EPA yet.
The 2023 Niro shares much of the same EV technology as the 2022 model, including a 64.8 kWh battery and a 150 kW motor that produces 201 horsepower. However, the 2023 version is expected to have a range of 253 miles, which is 14 miles longer than its predecessor. However, the EPA has not yet confirmed Kia's expected range for the 2023 Niro EV.
