I have my Niro EV 3 in this very colour arriving soon. I've watched pretty much every Niro review video going like an excited child, and this is the best one I've watched so far:

- straight to the point on each talking point (so many presenters fart around looking at the exterior for too long)
- enthusiastic and energetic
- because you were quick on each point, you covered more features than other reviews too

Well done!

Had my Niro EV for 8 months now costs me 7.5p a KW so a hundred mile journey costs under £2.00 🙂

Could you increase the speaking volume or decrease the intro music volume for future video? Great video but think the sound quality takes a bit away from it

[davidcroney]

Decent video guys, thanks.

Good to see someone reviewing the entry level model- worth mentioning that in the description imo.

I've got a Runway Red Niro EV #2 arriving in a few weeks. Though I'd have loved a #3, the lease company wanted literally 25% more (salary sacrifice) for them.

The MG wasn't an option for me as I refuse to give the Chinese the car market too..

I live in Alberta Canada and the heat pump does help in -30 far I like my Niro... Its been reliable and affordable. I have the level 3 version. I've had my 2023 for a year now.

I've also got a Niro Ev 3 on order in Cityscape Green. Hopefully it'll arrive in October. Love the way it drove and prefer this style of dashboard rather than a mounted tablet style like some other cars. It also has a bigger boot than my Golf GTI which will get traded in. Had a look at the EV6 but felt it was bigger than what I really wanted.

I have same colour and no.3 version. Love it to bits. Recent trip with bike rack and 2 bikes on the tailgate only got 2 miles per kWh. It's a great drive no more filling up or clutch pressing

Another good informative and enthusiastic review that covered all the main details and was just the right amount of time. The electric Niro looks like a great well built car that does everything most people need. I drive an electric Hyundai Kona, which I love and would seriously consider the Niro when I come to change, however Hyundai have a completely new Kona arriving before the end of the year which will be in direct competition with the Niro, so I will reserve judgement until I have done a test drive on both of them.

Ordered a 3 today (in green) - 21 August. Choice was between the ID3 and the Nero.

I felt the ID3 was a more engaging and comfortable drive. There was a real surge when you floored the pedal. But the regenerative braking was nowhere near as effective and was either on or off. No adjustment levels. It was so suspect I nearly drove into the back of a bus during the test drive. The car just wasn’t going to stop which the Kia would have done, so I had to stand on the brakes. And with regen off the brake pedal just didn’t inspire confidence.

Other issues with the ID3 were the ridiculous haptic controls (including the touch bar which is not backlit so useless at night), and the voice control which you can’t turn off - it kept picking up on conversation thinking I was giving it instructions. Then when I did give instructions it didn’t understand me (I’ve got a pretty neutral accent). There were just too many issues that I couldn’t live with.

The Nero however was just a very solid performer all round. The ride wasn’t quite as sophisticated and was a little bouncy at times. One large pothole really threw it off line. But on smooth country roads the ride was delightful albeit the seats were a little firm compared to the ID3.

I loved the paddles enabling you to adjust the regenerative braking levels. I found myself changing the level far more than I thought I would. I found the braking in the Nero really inspiring.

I’m happy with our choice and our vehicle is due for delivery at the end of October. We could have had it a month sooner but we will be away. Learning all the different functions is going to be interesting but my neighbour has just taken delivery of a new Sportage so we can share the pain.

Took a level 3 out for a test drive and was really impressed especially the ‘one pedal driving’ might get one?

Have they fixed the Scheduled Charging so that you can charge the car on off-peak cheap electricity? Kia knows about this problem yet there is no solution, they get owners to update software, uodate headunits etc. etc. yet there is still no solution. Seems an easy software fix to start and stop charging at given times, what’s so hard?

[jeffm]

I ended up ordering a Renault Megane Etech on Motability after taking both the Kia Niro and the Renault out for a test drive, It really was a tough decision as both cars drove brilliantly and both are so comfortable and easy to get into if you've got mobility issues. The Megane etech won me over in the end because of the extra features it has, but I would have quite happily have ordered the Niro if the Megane wasn't available on Motability.

We chose a Kia Niro EV 4 over a Tesla as I love the heads up display and having buttons for most things feels safer that having to use a central screen all the time. We rarely do long drives so we can visit all our family as they are all no more than 100 miles away without using public chargers. Everything works marvellously well and effectively. We are really pleased with our purchase.

[sergeikazakov]

Driving on the wrong side of the road is looking scary though.😮Good review anyway. Thanks.

[johnminshall]

Great car! You’d probably need to go for a ‘3’ with heat pump, so maybe £39-40k? New ‘extended (323-mile) range’ MG4 will come in at £36k, so that imo will be the key competitor!

Both good choices.

[ralpharmsby]

Test drove a 2 today. I drive an e Niro 3 and this the new version has a better ride but felt a bit less powerful when accelerating (haven't checked the stats on that). I don't like the lack of a knob for changing the fan speed - you have to choose a speed from the little array that replaces most of the buttons. You have to chose between climate controls and infotainment controls which will take some getting used to and seems pointless. The review should perhaps have covered this aspect. Sales person said he leaves everything on auto based on chosen temperature...

[Barmarcbiker]

So what about servicing intervals. Costs for that. No presenter ever covers this topic. Also I’d be interested to know what the 7 yr warranty doesn’t cover.

[exex]

Tested both the Niro and MG4 trophy, I chose the trophy simply because its acceleration was much faster and it was cheaper.

[chrisp]

You can use a digital key on this ? ! - that seems an option on the US model - I have the top uk trim, but no details on how to use that.

I was wondering whether Niro EV 2023 can be charged on Tesla Magic Dock (newer one) chargers and if yes, do we get decent speed of 50ish kwh? Is there Tesla Supercharger nonsense in UK too? And if yes, does Tesla allow Niro EV to charge on its network? If yes at what speeds? Thanks.
