Can the 2023 Kia Niro Tow?

2023 Kia Niro EV

 

Can the 2023 Kia Niro tow? That’ll depend on which model you’re referring to. The Kia Niro is available as a hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric vehicle. Both the Kia Niro Hybrid and the Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid are incapable of towing. However, if towing isn’t a non-negotiable feature for your next vehicle in St Louis, then you’ll want to choose the 2023 Kia Niro EV. See how much the Kia Niro EV can tow below!

Get More Done with the Kia Niro

While towing is a great way to bring your trailer or small boat to your adventures near Jefferson County, it might not be your sole option depending on what exactly you’re trying to bring with you. Put the Kia Niro to good use when you take advantage of the roof-carrying capacity or cargo area! Take a look at the details below:

  • Although you can’t tow with the Niro Hybrid or the Niro PHEV, both models offer a maximum roof carrying capacity of 220 pounds.
  • The Niro EV and the Niro Hybrid offer up to 22.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, or up to 63.7 cubic feet with the rear seats laid flat. The Niro PHEV has a little less space: 19.4 cubic feet behind the second row, and 54.6 cubic feet behind the first.
