The Kia Niro 1.6 CRDi is as a hybrid platform, remapping options are more limited given the added complexity of the electric drive system, and every enquiry is assessed individually.

Hybrid owners curious about remapping options, though this is a platform we assess with particular care given its added complexity.

What to expect

Remapping the Kia Niro 1.6 CRDi

A Stage 1 remap recalibrates the factory ECU software to improve throttle response and smooth out power delivery, within limits appropriate for a standard, unmodified Kia Niro 1.6 CRDi.

As a turbo diesel, this platform is also commonly approached for economy-focused tuning, which can improve drivability and reduce gear changes on longer journeys. We don't publish generic bhp or torque figures, since actual results depend on the specific vehicle's condition, mileage, and history, confirmed properly during a suitability check.
