• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the 10.25-inch system, navigation, premium sound, satellite radio, heated front seats, rear air vents, wireless smartphone charging, customizable mood lighting, Smart Key with push-button start, and available Kia Connect with Digital Key.

What Kia Niro do most buyers choose?

The Kia Niro years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

Those higher-volume years tend to be the easiest to shop because you get more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right color, mileage, and equipment mix. They also often line up with the most current features and the strongest used-market visibility.

What is the Kia Niro's resale value?

Most Kia Niro model years are trending lower year over year, which can work in your favor if you want to buy used after the sharpest early price drops have already happened. The biggest declines are concentrated in the older and newer model years shown here, while a few years are nearly flat or slightly higher. That mix suggests the Niro’s pricing is still adjusting across the lineup rather than moving in one uniform direction.

The 2017 and 2022 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2017, 2022, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Kia Niro now or wait for the next model?

• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $24,759. The Kia Niro offers a roomy cabin and practical packaging that make it easy to live with every day.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The 2023 Kia Niro is offered in a front-wheel-drive (FWD) configuration only, regardless of powertrain, and the Niro Hybrid is equipped with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine paired with a 32kW electric motor, and 139 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque.
• Tech: An 8-inch infotainment touchscreen remains as standard but this time around is relegated to the base LX model, while all other trims receive the 10.25-inch system that also includes navigation, a premium sound system, and satellite radio.
• Safety: Safety is such a top priority for the new Kia Niro that previously optional advanced driving assistance systems are now standard, including blind-spot monitoring with collision avoidance, forward collision avoidance with pedestrian detection and junction turning, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, lane-following assist, driver attention warning with lead-vehicle departure alert, high beam assist, and intelligent speed limit assist.
• Starting price: The 2023 Kia Niro Hybrid goes on sale this fall and starts at $27,785 for the entry LX model.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
