The Niro’s Performance
The Niro comes standard with a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor. They produce 139 horsepower and come with a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which provides smoother shifts than the continuously variable transmissions used in many other hybrid vehicles.
You’ll get the Active Eco System to further reduce fuel consumption, giving the car an EPA-estimated fuel efficiency rating of 52 city/49 highway miles per gallon.*
The Niro also comes with selectable driving modes, so you can choose a driving feel that suits your preferences. Front-wheel drive is standard, and the regenerative braking system is smoother than other hybrids, so your drives around Avon, Indianapolis, and Plainfield will be comfortable.
