Are you looking for a hybrid SUV with innovative new tech features and safety additions? The 2024 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid is an eco-friendly vehicle with innovative functions. Take a closer look at eight reasons drivers love the 2024 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid, from its safety features to its comfort and convenience, its technology and beyond. 1. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist & Junction Turning Detection The 2024 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid is positively loaded with active intelligent driver aids and safety features. The first of these is the frontal collision warning and avoidance, with the ability to detect cyclists, pedestrians, and even turning directions at intersections. This assistive driving function uses a combination of cameras and sensors to detect vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, or objects in your path. Forward Collision-Avoidance issues an audio alert to get your attention, and if you don't hit the brakes in time, it activates the emergency brakes to prevent a collision. 2. Safe Exit Warning Safe Exit Warning alerts you to possible hazards from the rear side when exiting your vehicle. Radar sensors detect vehicles approaching from behind and warn you to stay out of their path. 3. Auto Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers The Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid has automatic Rain-Sensing windshield wipers that detect precipitation as soon as it hits the glass. These wipers adjust their speed according to how much rain is hitting the windshield, allowing you to focus solely on the road. 4. Dual-Zone Auto Climate Control Dual-zone climate control lets you choose a temperature that is most comfortable for you, with separate settings for the driver and front passengers. This means that the driver and the passenger will be warm or cool as they like, whatever their preference might be. 5. 10-Way Power Driver's Seat with 2-Way Power Lumbar Adjustment Never worry about being uncomfortable on long road trips with the Kia Niro's 10-way power driver's seat. You can adjust your seat to the perfect position and even support your lumbar spine with 2-way power lumbar adjustment. 6. Solar Control Glass Solar control glass blocks the sun's rays from entering your cabin, helping protect your skin and eyes from excess light while keeping your cabin cooler. Solar control glass is only on the windshield and front door windows of the Kia Niro, not the rear windows. 7. 10.25-inch Touchscreen Display with Navigation The new Kia Niro has a 10.25-inch touchscreen display with built-in navigation. You can use this large touchscreen for Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM radio. Pair your smartphone and use Bluetooth wireless connectivity for hands-free calls and texting. Subscribe to SiriusXM radio to enjoy endless entertainment options, including 69 commercial-free music channels, sports coverage, talk shows, and news reports. 8. Sound-Absorbing Glass Noisy traffic can disrupt the most relaxing rides, putting a serious damper on your adventures. Sound-absorbing glass reduces outside traffic noises and helps you maintain a more quiet cabin. This glass is found on the windshield in the Kia Niro Hybrid EX trim but comes standard on the windshield and front door windows in the SX Touring trim.
