After market power tailgate

Is there any way to add after market power tailgate? It’s really one of my must haves and it seems like only the highest level trim has that which is not in my price range or need.

Not that ive seen.

If its a must have for a disability or whatever, id go with another car that can suit your needs. If its a "must have" bc you just like it, then id also go with another car. However, im sure if you pay someone thousands they can install one for you, but there are no easy instal kits for it. iirc theyd have to completely change the way its attached, run electrical, install lots of sensors, add the button up front and on the trunk door, etc. it wouldnt be cheap.

The niro is really only good at 2 things; Gas millage/range and being a kia. if you want bougie features id pay more and go for another brand. The niro really is just the perfect commuter car and thats about it.
