Why does my Kia Niro's hybrid system not engage when I press the accelerator?

I recently bought a Kia Niro and noticed that the hybrid system does not engage when I press the accelerator. I have tried restarting the car, but it still does not work. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

It could be a problem with the hybrid battery or the motor. I recommend taking your Niro to a certified Kia dealership for a diagnostic test to pinpoint the issue.

Make sure your hybrid mode is set to Auto or EV mode. If it's in Normal mode, the gas engine will engage more frequently and the hybrid system may not engage as much.

Another possibility is that your braking system may not be regenerating energy properly. This could be due to worn brake pads or a faulty brake sensor. Get your brakes checked by a certified mechanic.
