The Kia Niro uses a parallel hybrid powertrain, which means that both the gasoline engine and electric motor work together to power the car. The electric motor assists the gasoline engine during acceleration, and can even power the car on its own at lower speeds.

The hybrid powertrain in the Kia Niro utilizes regenerative braking, which means that the electric motor captures energy normally lost during braking and stores it in the battery. This helps improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.

In addition to the gasoline engine and electric motor, the Kia Niro also has a lithium-ion polymer battery pack which provides power to the electric motor. This battery is designed to last for the life of the car, so you won't have to worry about replacing it.
