What's New for the 2021 Kia Niro Hybrid and PHEV

2021 Kia Niro Hybrid with optional features shown above.

The Kia Niro Hybrid and PHEV are both great contenders if you enjoy longer journeys while still staying connected and safe as you’re behind the wheel! We’re going to share some new features these subcompact SUVs have to offer in the 2021 editions so you can ultimately see which would best suit your lifestyle. Contact us at World Car Kia North if you want to learn more!

Interior

No matter which of these vehicles you elect to go with, you will have some interior amenities that will make your drives nothing short of exciting. New to these versions is standard wireless Apple CarPlay®1 and wireless Android Auto™2, so you can connect your smartphone and use your favorite apps on the go. Along with that, each also has an available Smart Key with Remote Start3, meaning that your car can be turned on and set to your ideal temperature before leaving the house. Last but definitely not least, a dual-zone climate control system is now standard and allows you and your copilot to dial in your own individual temperatures without having to compromise. What’s not to love?

Safety

Your safety simply cannot be compromised, so let’s take a look at what the 2021 Niro Hybrid and 2021 Niro PHEV present when it comes to preventative technologies. First, both options offer available Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control-Curve4. This feature senses if you’re coming up on a curve ahead and will automatically adjust your speed to avoid any oversteering or accidents. You will also have optional Highway Driving Assist5, which will keep you in the center of your lane and let you know if you start drifting. Along with that, it can provide a clear picture of how much space is next to you and if it’s safe to switch paths. And standard on both grades is Rear Occupant Alert6 that makes sure no one gets left unattended in the second row. After these two models hit our sales floor, stop in during our business hours to see them and what they are capable of in person!

Performance

There’s no way we could leave out the performance of the Kia Niro Hybrid and Niro PHEV. The former is equipped with a 1.6L 4-cylinder and Full Parallel Hybrid System that produces 139 combined horsepower. On top of that, it achieves a staggering 53/48/50 MPG city/hwy/combined7, meaning less time on the pump and much more on the road. The Niro PHEV is just as impressive as it comes with a 239-mile All Electric Range to lower the interruptions in your joyrides. Not just that, it has a few different charge levels and can be fully charged in just two hours. Plus, each model is built with optional shift paddles so you can switch up gears yourself as you’re cruising.

If you’re still wondering “What’s New for the 2021 Kia Niro Hybrid and PHEV?” make sure to reach out to us at World Car Kia North! We’d love to chat with you and help you set up a time for a test drive!

I hope this message gets to the right place. I would like to tell you about my experience with your service department. I received a letter from Kia USA about an update to my 2015 Kia. I decided to take it to your dealership because its near my home. Walking into the service department I was greeted by one of your associates and immediately felt great about stopping in. My service advisor was Lindsey Lewis. I can't say enough about her professionalism and manner. She really is a gem and I hope you appreciate her. If all your associates conduct themselves like her you are going to be very successful. Let me assure you that by this one person going above and beyond all my future car purchases will be with your location. I would like to thank you again and please tell Lindsey she made my day much brighter. Lauren R.

Yesterday, June 29; 2018; my mother took in her car to get serviced at Mazda KIA North 12115 IH 35 North in San Antonio. The service we received was amazing, but this is not the reason I am writing. The young lady that helped us is the reason I am writing. Unfortunately we did not get her name but the way she treated us was, for lack of finding the just words....Angelic!!! She made us feel so welcome, at ease and as a part of a family. This meant the world to me because I value and treasure my family. As as a school teacher, my time is very consumed with tasks all year round and I often worry about my elderly mother & brother. She is on a fixed income (Social Security Check) & my brother is a recent cancer survivor. If this was not enough, we recently had a death in the family, so you can say we were having a rough week. The young lady was very caring and very helpful. We just wanted to let Management know about the magnificent job this young lady is doing. Please let her and her supervisors know about the great job she is doing.

I purchased my Kia from another dealership out of state. I was having issues with my A/C and tried to get them to check it out. Called on the phone explaining the issues. They asked me to bring the car in. They checked it and said it would be about 4 hours. They supplied a shuttle to my work and even provided a shuttle 4 hours later from my job back to pick my vehicle up! They fixed everything free of cost!!! I cant truly say how happy i was with the entire experience and service provided. If they happen to read this, huge shout out to Ms. Jonny with the service department, you were extremely courteous and helpful.

We had a great experience a WC Kia. We came in with our eyes on the Sorrento and a goal in mind on our monthly payment. Our salesman, TC, found us exactly what we were looking for. He even gave us a call a few weeks later to check up on us to see how we were doing with our new ride. Thanks TC, when we finally move on to the minivan we will give you a call.

They have always been so helpful and the only dealership I have not been taken advantage of once, in fact I really feel like they actually do care about me and my car, genuinely concerned and have gone above and beyond for me!! Lindsey in the service department is a top notch employee, the best of the best. This dealership and service department is fortunate to have such an outstanding lady working for them as well as the customers she assists. Thanks for being so helpful and honest and not being like so many others that take advantage of people. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Buying a KIA from World Car (formally Legend) has been a great experience. I mainly use their service center now but you can bet I'm buying another vehicle from them. To the young lady at service checkin, keep up the great work!

For starters, I was a first time car buyer, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Tony was extremely patient and helpful, and I never felt like I was getting the 'run around'. I intended to purchase a used mazda, but at the end of the day I ended up with a brand new Kia! (That was my choice, no pressuring from Tony at all) Tony spent time looking for used cars within my price range, honestly trying to find something that would work. Kia wasn't on my radar, but when my Dad brought it up, and we started talking about it, Tony was able to assist us with that purchase, even taking us over to the Kia office (Really in the same parking lot) to finish. All in all, I have no regrets, and I happily recommend you go talk to Tony if you're looking to purchase a car.
