Transmission options include a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The 4x4 model includes specialized driving modes for varying terrain.
The vehicle is equipped with a cargo bed offering a 938-liter capacity and a payload limit of 654 kg. It features eight tie-down points and a 12-volt power outlet. Towing capacity is restricted to 710 kg. Ground clearance varies by drivetrain, measuring 233 mm for the all-wheel-drive model and 223 mm for the front-wheel-drive version.
Inside, the Niagara includes a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.1-inch OpenR infotainment display with integrated Google services such as Maps, Play, and Gemini. Safety features include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, autonomous emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring. Pricing details remain undisclosed.
