What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2024 Kia Niro EV

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Niro EV's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Kia, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Niro EV and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2024 Kia Niro EV to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Kia's recommendations.
