An electric SUV that makes every mile count
Drive a Niro EV
The Niro EV is a compact electric SUV with a single 201 hp motor, instant torque, and a hushed cabin. It's the Kia rental for drivers who want quick, quiet miles without a stop at the gas station.
On Turo, you choose the exact Niro EV you'll drive from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup that fits your plans. The car in the listing is the car you get — no guessing which one shows up.

Battery

Efficiency that stretches every charge
The Niro EV squeezes an EPA-estimated 253 miles of range from its 64.8 kWh battery. It earns 113 MPGe combined (126 city and 101 highway), and it ranks among the most efficient EVs on the road. For you, that means fewer charging stops and more time for the trip itself.
Cabin and cargo room for five
The Niro EV seats five and gives you 22.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. Fold those seats down and you've got 63.7 cubic feet — plenty for a grocery haul, a stack of suitcases, or weekend gear.
That space comes in a compact footprint, so you can slip into tight city parking spots and narrow neighborhood streets without a second thought. You get room for passengers and bags without the bulk of a larger SUV. That makes it an easy fit for an airport run, a family visit, or a short getaway.
Driver-assist tech for calmer commutes
Both the Wind and Wave trims come standard with automatic emergency braking, a blind-spot system, and adaptive cruise control. Together, these tools help you stay aware in traffic and ease the strain of long highway stretches.
Adaptive cruise control helps hold a steady gap to the car ahead, which takes some of the stress out of stop-and-go commutes. The blind-spot system helps you change lanes with more confidence, and automatic emergency braking stands ready if traffic stops suddenly. You're still the one driving, of course — the tech simply adds an extra set of eyes.
Stand out with a Niro EV
The Niro EV shines on daily commutes and around-town errands, and it's ready for longer day trips too. If you're EV-curious, it's an approachable pick among the many electric vehicle rentals you can book on Turo. Choose it for a week of meetings, a weekend of errands, or a scenic day out.
Top Niro EV features
Instant torque from a single motor
Three standouts define the Niro EV: instant electric torque, flexible charging, and a design story that started in 2018.
The Niro EV delivers 188 lb-ft of torque the moment you press the pedal. A single motor drives the front wheels through a one-speed transmission, so there's no shifting and no lag — just smooth, steady pull.
That instant response makes highway on-ramps feel easy, and merging takes less effort than you might expect from a compact SUV. Around town, the quiet motor and smooth power delivery keep stop-and-go driving calm. It's a relaxed drive with a little extra punch whenever you want it.
Charge overnight or on the go
The Niro EV charges in about 7.5 hours on a 240V Level 2 charger, so plugging in overnight works well. On a 100 kW DC fast charger, it reaches 80% in about 45 minutes.
That flexibility lets you plan charging around your trip, not the other way around. If your stay has a Level 2 charger, plug in before bed and wake up ready to roll. On a longer drive, a fast charger during a lunch stop gets you back on your way — usually before you've finished your meal.
An early electric crossover, redesigned
The Niro EV arrived in the US for the 2018 model year as an early affordable electric crossover. It gave everyday drivers an approachable way to go electric in a practical, crossover-shaped package.
The 2023 redesign brought sharper styling and an updated interior, giving the Niro EV a more modern look inside and out. That fresh design pairs with the same practical focus on range, space, and efficiency. Book one, and you're driving a modern take on a familiar electric nameplate.
