Kia Niro Stage 1: 141 hp → 160 hp

Factory output for the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI Hybrid is 141 hp and 265 Nm. A Stage 1 remap targets 160 hp and 283 Nm — 19 hp (+13%) and 18 Nm (+7%).

Those are the figures we work to on this engine. They are a starting point, not a promise: the number we hand back is the one your car makes on our dyno, measured before and after on the same day, in the same conditions.

Where the 18 Nm shows up

On a diesel the useful change is torque, not peak power. Going from 265 Nm to 283 Nm fills in the mid-range, which is where a Kia Niro actually spends its time — pulling from 1,800 to 3,000 rpm in a high gear, overtaking without dropping two gears, towing or carrying weight without the engine falling on its face.

Peak power moves too, 141 hp to 160 hp, but you will feel the 18 Nm far more often than the 19 hp.

What Stage 1 involves on a Kia Niro

We read the ECU, log the car as it stands, and put it on the dyno to confirm the 141 hp baseline — a tired or faulty engine gets diagnosed before it gets mapped, not after.

The calibration is written for your car, not pulled from a file library. We adjust fuelling, ignition timing, injection timing and boost, then re-run the dyno to verify the 160 hp and 283 Nm figure and check knock, lambda and temperatures under load.

Turnaround is same-day for most cars. Stock file is archived, so the car can go back to standard whenever you want.

Which Kia Niro this covers

These figures are for the 1.6 GDI Hybrid as fitted 2017–2021. Engine code and ECU type decide what is possible, so send us the registration or VIN and we will confirm the exact variant before you book anything.
