2025 Kia Niro EV Service and Repair Manual

For 2025, Kia trimmed the Niro EV lineup to two versions, Wind and Wave, after the Wind+ was dropped, and gave the Wind a larger 10.25-inch instrument cluster and a rotary shift dial while adding rear seatbelt pre-tensioners across the range. Both share a single front-mounted motor and a 64.8 kWh battery. This factory service and repair manual is written to that 2025 configuration, with high-voltage safety procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules that match the car as built, which matters on an EV where connector layouts and software-linked components shift between years.

Known issues on the 2025 Niro EV. One recall is on federal record for this model year: the floor wiring assembly beneath the front passenger seat may become damaged, which can stop the front air bags and seat belts from deploying properly or cause the side curtain air bag to deploy unintentionally; dealers inspect, reroute or replace the harness and fit wiring covers. Owners have filed one complaint, logged under vehicle speed control. This manual covers the seat and floor harness routing, connector locations and air bag system diagnostics needed to check that area correctly.
