I've had my Nero EV for a little over a year and in 23K miles not a single problem. The lane assist is pretty good but it's not a self drive car... You can fit 10ft long items in it with the seats down so it meets most needs. I wish it would come to a complete stop in full regen mode without having to pull the flappy paddle, that would give it true one pedal driving. I got the premium package and it's worth it. If you sit in the EX first then sit in the Premium the seat comfort is night and day. It was a lot of money for a Kia but its been a great car. I'll keep it a while for sure.

Good but with limitations

The Niro is great for around town, especially if you have your own charger. It's pretty good even for day trips up to 100 miles or so. But there are a few negatives. Because the car is so light, the ride is very busy on the highway; you will notice bumps and irregularities far more than in a typical car. Also due to the light weight, it easily loses traction on unpaved roads, especially on slopes. Under some conditions, a potentially hazardous glitch occurs in cruise control: when you set a speed, then slow down due to traffic, and resume speed, the system will accelerate well beyond the set point. Several times I have had the car speed up to over 80 mph when the set speed was 72 or 73. As with most non-Tesla EVs, it's a pain finding chargers on longer trips. If you are heading to a town you're not familiar with, always be prepared to get stuck, even if the apps show plenty of chargers. The chargers may all be busy and they fail at a much higher rate than most equipment. Also, there's no spare tire, not even a donut, and AAA can't help except to tow you to a tire shop. There are plenty of places, even in CA, where the nearest shop is over 50 miles away. You could buy an extra wheel and tire, but it would take up most of the cargo space. One last little annoyance: the digital selection "buttons" for the radio are very, very touchy. To change stations safely you need to stop the car -- a minor delay on the two-lane, but a hassle on the 405.

The KIA Niro EV EX Premium surpassed all expectations for an affordable electric car with every possible accessory and safety and driving technological enhancement at just under $47,000. After nearly two years, the car has been perfectly reliable and thus matched Kia’s record for the brand as a well-designed and -built vehicle with the quiet and speed of an electric car. A bit plain to look at, the car is comfortable to drive. I could not be more satisfied.

Update after 21 months with the car: Still love it. The fact that it's electric; I have only taken it in for 2 scheduled services at the dealer. 1st one cost $75 - tire rotation and cabin air filter change. The 2nd was $35 - tire rotation. I changed my own cabin air filter this time (easy, see youtube). Well, it did cost $15 to buy it. Still HATE the black interior and the driver's seat is showing wear in the material. That's disappointing. Mileage is the same as stated below. Still, I can recommend the car. Original post; I have the 2019. $40,000 out-the-door. I don't know if it's because I live in Southern California, (don't need the heater very often) and I'm a fairly conservative driver, but the range which is stated at 239 miles, is lower than my actual. In winter, I get about 270 when fully charged. In warmer months and summer, I get over 300, to a max of about 315 miles. I HATE the black interior as it shows every spec of dirt which is tracked into the car. There were no other options for interior color. Other than that, I love the car and recommend it.
Best EV , compared my 2 previous nissan leafs
