Three years of Kia e-Niro Ownership

After 3 years with the Kia e-Niro how has it performed. All the stats after 3 years and 58,000 km of owning the car.

I'm watching this almost a year after you posted it, I did see it the first time around, though. I took delivery of my e-Niro a couple of weeks before this video came out, so wasn't really in a position to comment about my experiences with it at the time (coincidentally, when I was researching what EV to buy, one of your earlier videos helped me to decide on the e-Niro, so thanks for that).

Now that I have had mine for a year I have to say that my experience with it has been mostly positive, the negatives not really worth a mention. I'm happy with the range, the guessometer is pretty accurate for me and the overall performance is very good indeed. I think my experience pretty much reflects your own. I also like the design of the e-Niro. I really don't care what the 'experts' think, it's a good looking car in my opinion. It's just gone through its first service after 12 months and just under 16, 000 km. It needed nothing other than a pollen filter and wash. Overall, I'm very happy I chose it.

Great in depth report. Thanks. We've had one since April 2020. No mechanical issues at all, just happy, perky motoring. Cheap night rate from our electricity supplier means it's about 5p per KWh to charge - don't know how long before they change that. I'm even starting to find it nice to look at. Must be those accumulated memories!

Anyone thinking of an EV versus a hybrid, just don't buy a hybrid. You're buying all the possible mechanical faults of both technologies, plus you're giving the oil industry straws to cling to.

We had our e-Niro since 2020 and after 45K km we still love it. Very practical, the power is more than enough, the range is great and it is so efficient. I quite like the blue stitching on the seats - we wanted the same, but it would prolong the delivery so we got the white stitching. When it comes to colour, the navy blue one is the best IMHO. We did have a white test car and that did not look that good from the front side. All in all it is really a great and reliable car.

Thanks for the numbers! I just got a 2022 Niro EV (with only 150 miles on it!) and it’s good to know the car is reliable. I’ve seen several other video’s saying the same, plus a colleague who never had a problem with his 2018 e-Niro.

Yes even with the new cars abound the spec and efficiency of the eniro is still very good. We use ours evedy day, when I test drove the EV6 the quality of the drive was the same as the e niro. We do have an e tron as well which I use for longer journeys as it is such a comfortable drive. I am in France now and happy to drive here (975 miles) in either car

I've have a 2022 niro ev. 26, 000 miles and just tire rotation and topping off some inverter fluid and cabin filter. That's it! I'm planning to get 200, 000 on this car!

I think the older e Niro looks quit beefy, interior looks good enough but better than the old Kona.

I really like you can make a burnouts with the older Niro and it's torque is significantly more than the newest Niro. 395 Nm (old) 260 Nm (new).

So I waiting for a great offer with low mileage from '21 or '22. Now I'm driving a Hyundai Ioniq 28kwh. I still like it, but I prefer a bigger battery pack that suits me more, I

Nice Review!❤

I’ve been looking at the Niro EV for some time now, and actually sat in one on an Earth Day celebration here on California’s “Gold Coast” last weekend. My real concern is storage space: if we were to tour with another couple, I worry that the storage space for suitcases would be too small. I am on the waiting list for a Hyundai I5, but these are trickling into the US West Coast very slowly! Also dealers have no information from Hyundai as to supply, so they won’t answer queries about delivery dates. Love your home-it must be Ireland since you mention visiting the UK.

Great video and info. Love mine after 3.5 years of trouble free driving, although feel I'm being ripped off in charging rates at home and terrible situation as far as public chargers. Spain is basically anti-ev

Thank for for making this video! Question: How much does the battery capacity degrade over the years?

[paulgoudfrooij]

Funny. Right after he says there shouldn’t be ads, a long ad appears.

Bonjour amusant car c est une voiture immatriculée en France et je suppose que vous n êtes pas français je me trompe ?
Heureusement y a possibilité de sous-titré en français
Merci

How do you turn the engine (died and gone to heaven then they changed their mind) driving slow chord sound off?? I have owned this cool car for 8 hours and im sick of that sound already.
