2022 Kia Niro EV GT-Line review – BabyDrive

This week I am testing the brand new, fully electric 2022 Kia Niro GT-Line EV. Easily distinguished by its large contrast panel at the side rear, this is one of two new EVs for Kia and although they are similarly priced, the Kia EV6 I tested recently is very different to this Kia Niro.

The fully electric Kia Niro GT-Line is a fab little five-seater SUV. It comfortably fits three child seats in the back and a twin or double pram in the boot with a bit of room for shopping. The media system is great and the cameras are good too.

It's a quiet EV that is really nice to drive, has good battery range and you have all the benefits of it being electric too like being able to charge it from your solar panels and being guilt-free when driving kids to sleep or sitting with the aircon running when you get stuck in the car with a sleeping baby.

The Kia Niro EV has yet to be given a crash test rating by ANCAP. The Kia Niro EV has eight airbags as standard; driver and front passenger SRS airbags, centre side airbag (front), front side SRS airbags, driver's knee SRS airbag and curtain SRS airbags for both the first and second rows.

Thanks. Your review from a parent needs is great

Nice video! Agree that the parcel/hat shelf is flimsy, but it's designed so that you can fold it up and stow it away if you need more vertical space. Plus you can also hang it over the rear window as a sunscreen, if necessary - could be handy if your toddler is snoozing...
