IRVINE, Calif. - Kia America announced pricing for the refreshed 2027 Niro on Aug. 27. The company listed five front-wheel-drive configurations, starting at $29,890 for the Niro LX FWD and running to $38,990 for the Niro SX Touring FWD.

The prices are manufacturer's suggested retail prices and exclude a $1,495 destination charge, which Kia stated separately.

Kia listed the following prices, all for front-wheel-drive models:

Kia's footnote says MSRP excludes destination and handling, taxes, title, license fees, options and retailer charges, and that actual prices are set by the retailer and may vary.

Kia said the Niro pairs a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for a combined 139 horsepower.

This magazine reported the 2027 Niro refresh on July 2, when Kia said pricing and additional details would be announced closer to the on-sale date.

Editorial disclosure: Kia has been mailing hardbound owner's manuals to the home addresses of the Drive Observer staff, one volume a week since June, none of them requested and none of them for a vehicle anybody here owns, each with a compliments card signed by a different regional sales manager. The mailings have not stopped. Per our strict ethical policy, we do not let this influence our coverage.
