For starters, the interior of the 2023 Kia Niro is not just more spacious, it is a lot more modern. 

The design of the centre console and dash is inspired by the brand-new Kia EV6.  you will find two large 10.25 in screens which houses a new infotainment system and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Kia Niro will also offer advanced voice commands through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.  The seats can be heated, ventilated, and they offer multiple memory settings.
