   The Niro Plug-in Hybrid is another option, which still looks similar, as it features and has options for a powered sunroof, a great touchscreen, dual-zone automatic climate control, and more.

   Technology is a big design theme for these three SUVs for sale. The Kia Niro Hybrid uses a gas-powered engine, along with a fully parallel hybrid system.

The Kia Niro EV is the final SUV option, which will obviously need to be plugged-in because of its fully electric engine.
