2024 Kia Niro price rises in Australia
The Kia Niro hybrid and electric small SUV has received price rises of up to $1290 across the range, but only one model gets new features.
Kia Australia has increased prices by up to $1290 across the 2024 Kia Niro hybrid and electric small SUV line-up for the new model year.
Applicable to Model Year 2024 examples, the price rises amount to $260 for the electric Niro EV GT-Line flagship, $550 for both Niro Hybrid variants (S and GT-Line), and $1290 for the Niro EV S.
Alongside the price rise the Kia Niro EV S gains the larger 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen from the GT-Line – replacing a smaller 8.0-inch screen – with embedded satellite navigation, and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (rather than the smaller screen’s wireless connectivity).
The larger screen brings support for Kia Connect – which includes a smartphone companion app with features such as remote locking/unlocking, vehicle location, electric/fuel driving range status, and cabin pre-heating/cooling – as well as an improved voice assistant.
The other three model grades do not gain any features. Kia Australia attributes the increases on these models to “battery and other general cost increases.”
Kia has reported 736 examples of the Niro as sold so far this year. The second-generation Kia Niro arrived in showrooms mid last year, about 12 months after the first generation model went on sale – five years behind Europe.
