2026 Kia Niro Service and Repair Manual

Simplification is the story of the 2026 Niro: the plug-in hybrid has been dropped from the US market and the EX Touring trim is gone, leaving the 139-horsepower 1.6-liter hybrid in LX, EX, SX and SX Touring form. A single powertrain across four trims might seem to leave little room for error, yet hybrid battery, inverter and transmission specifications are still revised year by year. This service and repair manual keeps you on the procedures, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules Kia issued for the 2026 Niro hybrid.
