Overview
- Kia confirmed to KBB that the Niro PHEV will not be offered for the 2026 model year in the United States.
- The Niro hybrid and battery-electric versions remain in the lineup for U.S. buyers.
- The nameplate sold 31,182 units in 2025, and multiple reports indicate the plug-in accounted for only a small share.
- The imported PHEV lost the $7,500 federal tax credit and faces tariffs, leaving a roughly $36,000 price that sat about $7,000 above the hybrid and around $5,000 below the EV.
- Kia still sells plug-in versions of the Sorento and Sportage, while any future U.S. return for a Niro PHEV or refreshed model remains unconfirmed.
