Electric for errands, gas for the getaway
Drive a Niro Plug-In Hybrid
The Niro Plug-In Hybrid is a compact SUV that runs on electricity for up to 33 miles. Once the battery runs low, it shifts into a 48 mpg hybrid. That split personality makes this Kia rental an easy fit for trips that mix quick errands across town with a long drive out of it.
On Turo, you book your Niro Plug-In Hybrid from a local vehicle owner on the car rental marketplace. Pick the dates, pickup spot, and trip length that fit your plans — a weekend, a week, or longer.

Plug-in power that goes the distance
The Niro Plug-In Hybrid pairs a 1.6L four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for 180 hp and 195 lb-ft of combined output. EV mode works up to 83 mph, so highway stretches can stay electric while the battery has charge. You get quiet, gas-free miles when they count and a gas engine ready for everything else.
Room for five and their bags
The Niro Plug-In Hybrid seats five, with 105 cu ft of passenger volume to keep everyone comfortable. Behind the rear seats, you get 19.4 cu ft of cargo space for suitcases, backpacks, and a grocery run. It's a practical setup for a family weekend or a group heading to the airport.
Need more room? Fold the rear seats and cargo space grows to 55 cu ft — enough for bulky gear, moving boxes, or a stroller and a cooler. The compact size also keeps parking garages and tight city spots easy to handle.
Charging that fits your schedule
Charging the Niro Plug-In Hybrid is simple. Its 11.1 kWh battery refills in about 2.8 hours on a 240V (Level 2) charger. Plug in overnight at your stay or during a long lunch, and you'll head out with a full electric range.
No charger at your hotel or vacation rental? You don't need one — the gas engine takes over when the battery runs low, so you keep driving without hunting for a plug. Charge when it's convenient, and skip it when it isn't.
Stand out with a Niro Plug-In Hybrid
The Niro Plug-In Hybrid shines on city stays packed with short trips, plus a weekend drive out of town. It's also a low-stakes way to try a plug-in — unlike a full EV, gas backup means a road trip never hinges on chargers. Compare it with more SUV rental on Turo to find the right fit for your trip.
Top Niro Plug-In Hybrid features
510 miles of total range
Three features set the Niro Plug-In Hybrid apart: 510 miles of total range, 108 MPGe efficiency, and Smart Cruise Control that handles stop-and-go traffic.
The Niro Plug-In Hybrid can cover up to 510 miles on gas and electricity combined, based on EPA estimates. That's enough for a long road trip without planning a single charging stop.
Here's how it works: you start on electric power for up to 33 miles, then the hybrid system takes over at 48 mpg. When the tank runs low, fill up at any gas station and keep going.
Can a plug-in handle a road trip? This one can, because you're never tied to a charger.
108 MPGe efficiency
On electricity, the Niro Plug-In Hybrid earns a 108 MPGe combined rating, based on EPA estimates. MPGe compares electric driving with the energy in a gallon of gas, so a higher number means more miles from the same energy. It's the number to watch if you plan to plug in often.
Real-world numbers back it up. In Edmunds' testing, the Niro Plug-In Hybrid went 31.8 miles on battery power, then averaged 47.7 mpg once the gas engine kicked in. For you, that means short trips around town can run on electricity alone.
Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go
Smart Cruise Control adjusts your speed to keep a set distance from the vehicle ahead. Its stop-and-go function can slow the Niro Plug-In Hybrid to a stop in heavy traffic, then help it get moving again. The feature is standard on the EX trim, so check the listing for trim details.
It's handy when you're crawling through rush hour in an unfamiliar city or easing through traffic near the airport. You still steer and stay alert — the system just takes some of the repetitive braking and accelerating off your plate. That leaves you fresher for the parts of the trip you came for.
Top tips and things to know before renting a Niro Plug-In Hybrid
Get to know your Niro Plug-In Hybrid
A little prep makes your Niro Plug-In Hybrid trip easier. Learn how the powertrain switches, plan your charging, and know what shapes the price.
The Niro Plug-In Hybrid uses front-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission, so it drives like a familiar compact SUV. It starts in electric mode and runs quietly until the battery runs low, then the gas engine kicks in automatically. You don't need to switch anything — just drive.
Want a different kind of efficient? A Toyota Prius rental gives you a full hybrid that never needs a plug, while a Hyundai Ioniq 5 rental goes fully electric. You can also browse electric vehicle rentals for more all-electric options.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
