Why is my Kia Niro's engine making a knocking noise?

My Kia Niro's engine started making a knocking noise recently. It happens when I accelerate and it seems to be getting worse. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

It's possible that the knocking noise is coming from a lack of lubrication in your engine. I suggest checking your oil levels and getting an oil change if necessary. It could also be a sign of a more serious issue, so I recommend taking your car to a mechanic for a diagnostic test.

I had the same issue with my Kia Niro and it turned out to be a problem with the timing belt. Make sure to have a mechanic check it out, as a damaged timing belt can cause serious damage to your engine.

Another possible cause could be a faulty fuel injector. This can result in a knocking noise and also decrease your car's performance. Have a mechanic inspect and potentially replace any problematic fuel injectors.
