2027 Kia Niro facelift drops all powertrains except 139-hp hybrid

The refreshed 2027 Kia Niro features a redesigned exterior that aligns with the rest of Kia's current lineup, but the subcompact SUV now comes exclusively with a 139-hp hybrid powertrain. Previous versions also offered plug-in hybrid and fully electric variants, making the single-powertrain lineup a notable change for the model. No pricing or on-sale date has been announced.
