Kia EV6, EV9 and Niro: Repairing Electric and Hybrid Kias

Collision repair for Kia's electric and hybrid models, from the 800-volt EV6 and EV9 to the Niro, which comes as a hybrid, plug-in or EV.

Kia's Electrified Range

Kia sells several electrified vehicles: the EV6 crossover and the three-row EV9, both on an 800-volt electric platform, and the Niro, offered as a hybrid, plug-in hybrid and full EV. Sportage and Sorento hybrids and plug-ins round out the lineup.

One Nameplate, Three Powertrains

The Niro shows why identifying the exact powertrain matters. A Niro Hybrid has a small battery, a Niro Plug-in Hybrid has a larger one, and a Niro EV has a large floor-mounted pack. Each has different safety steps and inspection points.

High-Voltage Procedures

Before repairs, the high-voltage system is disabled following Kia's instructions. Technicians confirm the system is safe and protect cables near the repair area.

Battery Inspection

On the EV6 and EV9, the battery spans much of the floor. After underbody or side impacts, the pack housing and mounts are inspected carefully.

Paint Curing

Paint booth temperatures are kept within battery limits specified by the manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which Niro I have?

Badging and the charge port help, and your VIN confirms it.

Can you repair an EV9?

Yes. As a Kia-certified shop, we follow Kia EV procedures.

Is a Kia hybrid repair more expensive?

Sometimes, due to extra safety steps. Cosmetic repairs are usually similar.
