The 2019 Niro EV boasts plenty of room for all your stuff with 53 cubic feet of cargo room when you fold the backseat down and 18.5 cubic feet of space with the backseat up. Adding to your organizational needs (and desire for a clutter-free cabin) is the center console equipped with three USB ports, storage compartments, and cup holders. Seat upholstery is signature to the Niro EV and boasts blue highlights, which can be complemented by available black and blue “holographic” trim on the door.
On the outside, heads will turn due to the Niro EV’s impressive design, which features “Arrowhead” LED daytime running lights, closed off grille, blue-trimmed rear and front bumper fascias, an EcoDynamics blue surround-accented lower air intake, and rocker panels that sport a new shape for the 2019 model.
