New look and tech for Kia Niro
Auto Express
|January 28, 2026
THE facelifted Kia Niro has been revealed, sporting a sleek new look and a refreshed cabin that has the firm's latest infotainment setup.
Most of the design changes are up front. The silver trim that wrapped around the nose has been replaced by a slim interpretation of Kia's signature Tiger Nose grille flanked by a new set of taller headlights that incorporate the 'Starmap' design found on all Kias.
The plastic on the bumpers, doors and wheelarch cladding appears to have a gloss-black finish now, plus there is a new set of 18-inch alloy wheels. The artificial skid plates that give the Niro a slightly rugged SUV-like look are still fitted, though.
The taillights are a little smaller and thinner, and now have a smoky finish, while the rear bumper has been revamped and a brake light has been incorporated into the roof spoiler.

Sparco V16 light
UNLESS you keep a close eye on Spanish traffic laws, you might think a V16 is just a very large engine. But since the beginning of 2026, all Spanish-registered vehicles have been required to carry a device called a V16 Beacon. This replaces emergency warning triangles with a high-tech, GPS-connected flashing light.
