Kia E-Niro 4+ Compared to Kia E-Niro 3

If you’re in the market for an electric car, it’s possible the KIA ENIRO, What Car?’s 2019 car of the year, is already on your list.

But should you stump up the cash for the to of the line 4+ or go with the more reasonably priced 3? I'll show you everything you get for the additional cost in the 4+ and let you know whether I think the extra spend is worth it

Good review and mostly accurate. The 3 does indeed come with front sensors (though dealers will claim otherwise), and the heat pump won't affect the WLTP figures, but will do in the real world.

Great job mate. Kia e-Niro defiantly becomes more popular by day in electric car class.

Actually we have a quiet few 11kw ac charging hier in the narround, I live in the Netherlands, so for some regions 11kw is useful😉

The 3 also actually comes with front parking even if Kia brochure seems to say otherwise. It was a pleasant surprise when we picked ours up last week.

Hi, thanks for this video. About to buy a '4' trim of the MY2020 KIA e-Niro and gutted to find that the 4+ is so much better. Do you think I should still get the 4 without the Sunroof, memory seat, ventilated and rear heated seats, BSD and speed limiter, etc? Will like your opinion and thanks for the video.

The 11 kW charger is there because a lot of the markets Kia sell in they have 3 phase electric which would provide 11 kw charging as standard (and 7 kW would probably seen a cheap or a downgrade). I suppose it's not cost effective to put a 7 kW charger on cars destined for us.

The reason the official efficiency figures are the same for the 3 & 4+ are the same is because the test is done in warm conditions with a slight air con demand. With heating in use the 4+ will win but yet to see any real world confirmation of this since both models are so new (FE & 4 both had heat pumps)

Any thoughts on differences in 2 and 4+ .
Kia e niro is cheapest and saving of government grant is important consideration.

But arebthe Led lights any good. Frankly along with possible heat pu, p benefits i don't see any other reason to upgrade from 3.

Great video mate 👍. Do you plan on doing a video on the finances and costs involved in owning the car? So like electricity costs, finance, maintenance etc.

My wife and I both drive the Kia e-Niro First Edition and have almost 60, 000 miles cover3d between us. Our vehicles are very close spec to the ‘3’ and over all spending the extra money would be worth consideration to us when it’s time to change. That might not be for a while though, goodness only knows what will be on the market by then and what price it might be. Well done on a great review.

If you go to the effort of attempting to hide your number plate then you need to do a better job. :)
Nice video otherwise. 👍

Such a none descript plain looking car, at least the soul is interesting and quirky to look at.
