Conventional hybrid or rechargeable

A regular hybrid, like this car, is not connected to the mains: its battery is small and charges while driving. A rechargeable hybrid carries a larger battery, it is charged from the mains, and it can travel on electricity for some of its trips. Therefore, when choosing a Niro, they first look at the type of power plant: it determines whether the car will need charging.

What is the generation of the 2022 car

Around 2022, the Niro changed the generation and received a new body, and the hybrid version of the second generation retained the same set: a 1.6-liter engine with 105 hp, an electric motor and a six-speed robot. Therefore, the generation of the car in 2022 cannot be determined by the year of manufacture and power. It is recognized by the body: externally, the cars of the two generations differ, and this can be seen in the car itself and its photos. Both ranges are collected on the Niro page in the catalog.
