You can lease a 2025 Kia Niro EV for as little as $99 a month. No, really, you can
Maybe, unlike most Americans, you’ve decided that an EV would be an ideal new vehicle – until you saw their purchase price. Well, it seems that Kia has your solution in the 2025 Kia Niro EV. While the Kia Niro is available as a 139-horsepower hybrid or 180-horsepower plug-in hybrid, it’s the 204-horsepower EV that offers the most power and 253 miles of range. Kia quotes a 0-62 mph time of 7.8 seconds, which is adequate for gas-powered cars, but pokey for an EV. The Niro EV can be recharged to 80% in 65 minutes with a 50-kW fast charger. An 11-kW on-board charger for home charging is standard.

Offered in base Wind or upgraded Wave trim, the compact Niro EV has a generous 100 cubic feet of passenger space and anywhere from 23-to-100 cubic feet of cargo space depending on how many seats are in use. The instrument panel features a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen. USB-A and USB-C ports are fitted to both rows. A Wireless phone charger, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and HD Radio are standard, as is a Harman Kardon premium audio system in the Wave trim. Sound enticing? Wait until you check out the lease.

Final thoughts
The 2025 Kia Niro EV isn’t necessarily sporty, nor is it the quickest of EVs, but it provides a spacious package in a compact footprint that’s perfect for city dwellers. Its performance is also more than punchy enough to deal with the cut and thrust of urban driving warfare, and it features an up-to-date tech package with a fetchingly modern design. Yes, there are quicker, sportier EVs, but you’ll pay more without necessarily getting a better package.
