Kia Niro Business & Personal Car Leasing Offers

The Kia Niro was introduced in the UK in 2016 as the brand’s first ever hybrid model. The plug-in hybrid version followed in 2017, widening the Niro’s appeal for drivers looking for an electric driving experience without making the leap into a fully electric car.

The latest Niro builds on that approach with considered styling, a modernised interior, and a clear focus on everyday usability. It sits neatly in Kia’s range between the smaller Stonic and larger Sportage as a hybrid SUV with strong electrified efficiency compared to conventional petrol models.

It makes sense for both Kia Niro business lease and Kia Niro personal lease customers who want a compact SUV with strong efficiency, useful space and the flexibility of hybrid power. The petrol hybrid suits drivers who want simple day-to-day efficiency, while the plug-in hybrid adds the benefit of electric-only driving for shorter trips without losing petrol flexibility for longer journeys.

- Body Type: SUV

- Fuel Type: Hybrid or Plug-In Hybrid

- Electric Range (PHEV): Up to 38 miles (WLTP)

- Seats: 5

- Boot Size: Up to 451 litres

Key Specifications

Kia Niro leasing is available in three trims:

- Pure: A well-equipped starting point for the range with 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic air conditioning, a 10.25-inch touchscreen navigation system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, smart cruise control, rear parking sensors and a reversing camera. 

- Evolve: Builds on Pure with a more refined specification, adding larger alloy wheels, LED headlights, privacy glass, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, wireless phone charging, front and rear parking sensors and extra driver assistance features. 

- Aspire: Sits at the top of the range, adding a more premium finish with artificial leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, heated outer rear seats, driver’s seat memory, a head-up display and Remote Smart Parking Assist.  

Engine & performance

The Kia Niro is available with 1.6-litre petrol hybrid or 1.6-litre petrol plug-in hybrid powertrains. Both use a 6-speed automatic gearbox and front-wheel drive, helping the Niro feel easy to drive around town and settle on longer journeys.

A simpler choice for drivers who want efficient performance without needing to plug in, the petrol hybrid produces 136bhp and offers fuel economy of up to 60mpg. The plug-in hybrid increases output to 177bhp and adds electric-only driving for shorter journeys, with fuel economy of up to 118mpg and CO2 emissions from 25g/km, depending on trim. Both fuel economy figures are WLTP combined.

Exterior features

The Kia Niro has a clean, practical SUV shape with compact proportions, roof rails, and a rear roof spoiler. Pure models include 16-inch alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, rear privacy glass, black wheel arch trim and silver front and rear skid plates, giving the Niro a more rugged look without making it feel too large for everyday driving.

Evolve adds a more confident finish with 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, front fog lights, gloss black trim, privacy glass and rain-sensing wipers. Aspire builds on this further with its higher specification, giving the Niro a more polished appearance while keeping the same useful SUV stance.

Interior features

Inside, the Kia Niro has a practical five-seat layout with a simple dashboard design and useful storage throughout the cabin. Pure models include automatic air conditioning, cloth upholstery, a rear centre armrest with cupholders, 60:40 split folding rear seats, and USB-C charging for front and rear passengers.

Evolve adds a warmer, more comfortable feel with partially synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, electric driver’s seat adjustment and rear ventilation ducts. Aspire brings the most premium cabin finish, adding black and grey artificial leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, heated outer rear seats, driver’s seat memory, and a front passenger relaxation seat.

Safety features

The Kia Niro comes with a strong set of safety and driver assistance features across the range. Standard equipment includes lane keep assist, lane follow assist, intelligent speed limit assist, smart cruise control with stop and go, a reversing camera, rear occupant alert, and tyre pressure monitoring.
