Just bought this in the EX trim. It’s beautiful and drives like a glove. I’m enjoying the ride more than I thought! Your upload helped me with buying decision. Thank you.

Why use a title that misrepresented the video? This is a general review nothing related to giving us an opinion on what the real range is per the title.

The 261 range reflects the effect of Regen. I drive a 2019 NIRO EV. City/ Suburb driving range 270-310, depending on amount Heat/ AC used. I drive 90% in ECO.
Around 240 when doing only Highway.
There are many video’s describing how to have longest range. I just followed the best advice.
As to can you really do one pedal driving? Turn on the front end automatic braking at most sensitivity, and no colliding with car in front.

I drive a 2019 Niro EV. I use maximum Regen on the ECO setting and get 270-310 range per charge, using AC and seat ventilation. If your driving is mostly long freeway drives, and it’s very hot or cold the range is closer to 250. Make sure you have a Level 2 charger installed before you take the car home. If you use public chargers like the “ high speed “ ones, expect to only get 80% charge. ( the remaining 20% takes another 30 minutes. )

People VASTLY overstate the importance of AWD. I've lived in Minnesota all my life and have never been stuck in snow with FWD cars. Tires matter so much more than drivetrain.

My 2022 has memory for the seats and LED headlights. There is a 220V AC plug in between the front console towards the rear seat passengers. I also have seated seats both front and rear and cooling for the front seats.
The top range model is called the Exclusive and cost me 48.600 dollars. For that I got 8 alloy wheels, winter and summer tyres and metallic paint. There is also a sun roof.

One of my favorite Kia’s and the color too

This thing is nice...I've been comparing the ID.4, Mach E and Model 3. I may have to add this to my list as well. Don't like that bluel/green accent trim though.

I might test drive this, great video!

Edgardo, please get the Niro EV ex premium because it has heated and cooled front seats!

can you confirm if this has a blind spot mirror when you hit the right turn signal can you see in the camera

This car looks identical to my 2022 version (same color even), but mine is the "S" model that was released at the end of the model year, which is mostly the same but it has a smaller infotainment screen, and doesn't have Harmon Kardon audio.

In watching this video, one thing that jumps out is that the infotainment UI looks completely different than mine.... mine has basic white text and icons on a black background, and a different layout- not the more modern looking blue/purple icons and text. I understand it's a different sized screen, and this one has onboard navigation whereas mine does not- but it's odd they used a completely different UI between the models.

Um, the 64 kw battery is NOT "under the hood", it's under the floor. The Motor is under the hood. I have a 2020 E-Niro (yes I'm in europe) and the range is terrific. Starting ar 100%, I've done trips of 250km and 280km and arrived back home with >35% charge. As a general rule one charging session from Saturday noon to Monday 6am - unplugging if I need to drive during this time - gives me more than enough range for the entire coming week. We have reduced power rates 9pm - 6am as well as during the weekend. Great sitting comfort, driving comfort of suspension and VERY quiet. Only "complaint" - it's a very "bongy" car with bings and bongs for everything.

What would be the range straight highway driving 65 70 mph with heat or ac on?

[tonyclarkthesailingspark]

Is that a special aerial on that key fob ? :)

Kia Niro EV driver's seat too firm on my back.. I prefer my old Nissan LEAF seats, much more comfy/softer.

The Blue accents really clash with the red paint. The Blue piping and designs on the seats is also horrible with the red exterior. Is there a way to have those accents in another color? It's so bad looking I would not consider this car just for this.

The average freight train length is more than a mile

I wish you would concentrate on explaining useful information like safety features as opposed to the hazard light switch and the blue stitching.

47k - 7k tax rebate still too high for this brand!
