Kia revealed the first images of the new Niro last week, but now we are getting a closer look at the updates in person. Last week, we got our first look at the new Niro facelift after Kia unveiled it in South Korea. While you can clearly tell this is still a Niro, Kia gave it new wheel arch cladding and a lower door garnish to give it a more premium feel. We’ve only seen the changes in pictures, but the new Kia Niro looks even better in person. The 2026 Kia Niro EV starts at $39,700 in the US with an EPA-estimated driving range of up to 253 miles.
