Gates 17-23 Kia Niro 4-Cyl. 1.6L Electric Assist Lower Molded Coolant Hose

When you're replacing the coolant hose on your 2017-2023 Kia Niro with the 1.6L Electric Assist engine, a direct-fit molded hose like this one from Gates makes the job much smoother. This hose is specifically shaped to follow the factory routing, ensuring it won't kink or rub against other components in the engine bay.

Gates uses a robust construction with reinforced rubber to handle the heat and pressure of your cooling system. This means it's built to last, resisting the common issues of cracking and swelling that can lead to leaks. Having the correct shape means you won't have to fight with a universal hose, making installation a more straightforward process.

This lower coolant hose is a key part of keeping your engine running at the right temperature, especially with the added demands of the electric assist system. Make sure you have a fresh supply of the correct coolant type for your Kia when you do the job.
