About the Kia Niro SG2
The second-generation Kia Niro EV (SG2) represents a significant leap in design and technology over its predecessor, featuring the distinctive 'Aero Blade' C-pillar and a more premium interior. Built on a multi-powertrain platform, it prioritises efficiency and passenger comfort with a 64.8 kWh battery providing a competitive range for its class. While it lacks the ultra-fast charging of Kia's E-GMP models, its smooth power delivery and comprehensive suite of driver-assistance systems make it a highly competent daily driver. The SG2 generation is notable for its sustainable interior materials, including recycled wallpaper and eucalyptus leaf fibres.
