Kia e-Niro 64 kWh

Performance

The Kia e-Niro 64 kWh has a maximum power of 150 kW (204 hp / 201 bhp) and a total torque of 395 Nm (292 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 7.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 167 km/h (104 mph).

Battery, Range, and Charging

The battery has a gross capacity of 67.5 kWh and a net usable capacity of 64.0 kWh, with a 3.5 kWh buffer (5.2%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 356 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.

This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.

According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 455 km (283 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 14.1 kWh/100 km (3 mi/kWh).

For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 77 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 151 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 50 minutes with an average charging speed of 54 kW.

Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 0% to 55%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 56 kW, with each charging session taking about 38 minutes and 50 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 19.4 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 10 hours and 41 minutes, needing four charging stops from 3% to 54%, totaling 141 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 7.2 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 8 hours and 53 minutes with a standard home setup.

An optional 11 kW onboard charger reduces the full charge time to approximately 5 hours and 49 minutes.

Brakes

Regenerative Braking

The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.

Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.

Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.

Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator. There are five levels of regenerative braking to choose from, allowing you to customize the driving experience to your preference.

The maximum regenerative braking power is 80 kW.
