What Kia Niro do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to be the easiest places to shop because you get more inventory to compare and a better chance of finding the right trim, mileage, and price combination. They also tend to attract more used buyers because they balance newer features with broader availability.

What is the Kia Niro's resale value?

Most of the listed model years are moving lower year over year, which can work in your favor if you are shopping used.

That pattern suggests you may find better value on recent used Niro models than you would expect from their original pricing.

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