Smart Regenerative Braking
6 Speed Dual Clutch Transmission
Drive mode select
The Niro features our 1.6 GDI petrol engine which works in tandem with the transmission-mounted electric motor to bring power to the front wheels with optimum energy efficiency.
Regenerative braking helps to convert the kinetic energy when decelerating and braking into electrical energy to recharge the battery for even greater energy efficiency. No plugs necessary.
The Niro breaks preconceptions and makes hybrids fun to drive with its fast and responsive 6-speed DCT.
Easily select from Eco & Sport Modes. Sport Mode increases responsiveness of the transmission & steering for dynamic driving, while Eco Mode maximises energy efficiency.

Using radar and camera data, the AEB system senses the potential for a collision with a pedestrian, car or cyclist ahead, and applies emergency braking to avoid or reduce the effects of a collision.
When the AEB system detects a risk of collision when turning at an intersection, the system will warn the driver with audio/visual alerts, steering wheel vibration and will automatically apply the brakes.
