The Kia Niro spans hybrid and battery-electric versions, so its statistics need clear market, model-year and test-cycle definitions. The figures below cover 2023 sales, 2024 model-year specifications, European WLTP data, U.S. EPA ratings and a 2024 U.S. recall notice.

Kia Niro Sales Statistics and Market Trends
Kia’s European and U.S. figures describe different populations. The European Niro total covers the model line across powertrains, while the U.S. figures combine Niro powertrains in Kia America’s model table.
| Market and measure | Period | Reported figure |
|---|---|---|
| Kia Europe, all models sold | 2023 | 572,297 vehicles |
| Kia Europe, brand sales change | 2022–2023 | 5.4% increase |
| Kia Europe, market share | 2023 | 4.5% |
| Kia Niro model line registrations | 2023 | 73,582 |
| Kia Niro EV sales in Europe | 2023 | 40,074 |
| Kia electrified-vehicle sales in Europe | 2023 | 217,145 |
Source: Record-breaking sales performance in 2023 for Kia in Europe. The European electrified category includes hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery-electric vehicles, and the brand totals are not Niro-only measures.
Kia America reported 36,300 Niro sales in 2023 compared with 28,744 in 2022, describing the change as a 26% rise. Those are U.S. manufacturer-reported totals for all Niro powertrains, not a separate EV-only series.

Kia Niro Hybrid Fuel-Economy and Powertrain Data
The 2024 Canadian Niro HEV combines a 1.6-liter GDI gasoline engine with a permanent-magnet synchronous motor. Kia Canada rates the gasoline engine, electric motor and combined system separately, so the component outputs should not be added as an independent calculation.
- The gasoline engine is rated at 104 hp, while the electric motor is rated at 43 hp, or 32 kW.
- Combined HEV performance is rated at 139 hp, with combined torque rated at 195 lb-ft.
- The gasoline engine produces 106.3 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm.
| 2024 Canadian HEV trim group | City | Highway | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| LX, EX and EX Premium | 4.5 L/100 km | 4.4 L/100 km | 4.4 L/100 km |
| SX | 4.5 L/100 km | 5.2 L/100 km | 4.8 L/100 km |

Kia Niro EV Efficiency, Range and Charging Statistics
The 2024 Niro Electric is classified by EPA ENERGY STAR as a small 2WD sport utility vehicle. EPA’s U.S. ratings separate city, highway and combined performance, while Kia France’s specification uses the European WLTP cycle.
| 2024 U.S. EPA Niro Electric measure | Rating |
|---|---|
| Combined electricity use | 29 kWh/100 miles |
| Combined efficiency | 113 MPGe |
| City efficiency | 126 MPGe |
| Highway efficiency | 101 MPGe |
| Combined range | 253 miles |
| City range | 278 miles |
| Highway range | 223 miles |
| 240-volt charge time | 8 hours |

Kia France quoted up to 460 km of mixed-cycle WLTP range and up to 604 km of urban-cycle WLTP range for the Niro EV in a 2023 press specification. The same specification lists an 11 kW three-phase onboard charger as standard.

Kia Niro Capacity and Practical-Use Statistics
The Canadian HEV brochure reports cargo capacity in both liters and cubic feet. The paired values are two unit expressions of the same specification, not separate cargo measurements.
| Practical-use measure | 2024 Canadian Niro HEV | 2024 U.S. Niro Electric |
|---|---|---|
| Rear seats up | 646 L / 22.8 ft³ | 23 ft³ luggage volume |
| Rear seats folded | 1,805 L / 63.7 ft³ | Not listed in the cited EPA detail |
| Passenger volume | Not listed in the cited brochure facts | 100 ft³, four-door field |
| Fuel tank | 42 L | No fuel tank; battery-electric vehicle |
Sources: The 2024 Niro HEV and 2024 – Kia: Niro Electric. EPA’s detail record labels 23 cubic feet for the Niro Electric with either two or four doors, while its passenger-volume field lists 100 cubic feet for four doors.
The Canadian HEV brochure lists 60:40 split-folding rear seats. It also lists 16-inch alloy wheels on LX, EX and EX Premium trims, compared with 18-inch alloy wheels on the SX HEV.
Kia Niro Battery, Performance and Warranty Statistics
The 2024 Canadian Niro HEV battery is specified at 1.32 kWh, 240 volts and 5.50 Ah. These are battery-system specifications for the hybrid model and do not describe the larger traction battery of the Niro EV.
Warranty terms vary by market and coverage category. Kia France cited a 7-year or 150,000-km Kia warranty, while Kia Canada listed separate comprehensive, EV-component and roadside-assistance terms for the 2024 Niro HEV brochure.
- Kia Canada lists a 5-year/100,000-km comprehensive warranty for the 2024 Niro HEV.
- Kia Canada lists an 8-year/150,000-km limited EV-components warranty, with eligible components and market terms applying.
- Kia Canada lists 24-hour roadside assistance for 5 years with unlimited kilometers, subject to conditions.

Kia Niro Recall and Charging-Network Statistics
A July 19, 2024 NHTSA/Kia recall notice covers certain 2022 model-year Niro EV vehicles in the United States. The notice identifies affected vehicles by VIN and does not provide a total affected-vehicle count in the opened owner letter.
- The estimated recall repair time is approximately 1–2 hours.
- The reimbursement notice asks owners to allow at least 60 days for review and response, which is an administrative processing estimate rather than repair duration.
Source: Important Safety Recall: NHTSA Recall Number 24V358. Because the notice is VIN-specific, no affected-unit population should be inferred from it.
Kia’s 2024 European release also reported broader charging-service figures at the end of 2023. These measures describe Kia Charge and IONITY network reach, not Niro ownership or Niro-specific charging sessions.
- Kia Charge had 95,000 global registrations by the end of 2023.
- The Kia Charge network covered more than 643,000 charging points at the end of 2023.
- Kia reported 600 IONITY charging parks and more than 3,300 high-power charging points across 24 European countries in its 2023 release.
