The price of the 2026 Kia Kia EV remains one of the strongest arguments for anyone seeking a compact 100 % electric SUV without crossing the $50,000 threshold. The Niro EV is also one of the rare electrified Kia models eligible for both the Roulez vert and the federal iZEV programs. Here are the complete specs, trims and what to know before planning a test drive at Kia Chambly.
Key takeaways
- Base model starting at under $48,000, before potential government incentives
- 407 km EPA range, enough for a round trip from Chambly to Quebec City on a single charge
- Full charge in 7.5 hours on a 240-volt home charger, or 10–80% in about 1 hour at a DC fast-charging station
- One of the few Kia electric SUVs eligible for both Roulez vert and the federal EVAP programs in 2026
2026 Kia Niro EV: pricing and available trims
The 2026 Kia Niro EV starts at $47,713*for the Wind trim (freight and PDI included), with a 407 km EPA range. With combined incentives of up to $7,000, the purchase price drops below $42,000 before taxes. It is likely the most cost-effective model in the Kia electrified lineup for drivers who want to go electric without breaking the bank.
The Niro EV is offered in three trims in Canada:
- Wind FWD: starting at $47,713, eligible for the Roulez Vert and EVAP programs
- Wind+ FWD: mid-range model with upgraded features, eligible for the Roulez Vert and EVAP programs
- Wave FWD: top-of-the-line model, eligible for the Roulez Vert program only.
All trims share the same mechanics. Single electric motor, 64.8 kWh battery, front-wheel drive. No AWD option, a compromise to note if all-wheel drive is a priority for you.
What’s new versus 2025
Pricing for the Kia Niro stays relatively stable year after year. The 2026 keeps the proven hardware with minor tweaks in colour and standard equipment. There was no major redesign, since Kia is focusing on the arrival of the EV3 and EV5 to refresh the EV lineup for 2026 and 2027.
2026 Kia Niro: performance and range
- EPA range: 407 km
- Combined energy use: 2.1 Le/100 km
- Battery: 64.8-kWh lithium‑ion
- 240 V charging: about 7.5 hours
- DC fast charging: roughly 1 hour for 10 to 80 %
What does this mean in practice?
407 km is enough to drive from Chambly to Quebec and back with a single stop on the way. In winter, plan for a 20 to 30 percent loss, like with any EV.
