2021 Kia Niro EV Review

byDan Frio^{Reviews Editor
Dan spent many years covering the go-fast, look-good, get-loud corners of the automotive universe. First, he served as editor of enthusiast magazines AutoSound and Honda Tuning, then as executive editor at SEMA News, the publishing arm of the trade group that produces the annual SEMA Show (yes, that show).}

Pros

Impressive list of standard safety features
Plenty of estimated and real-world range
Zippy acceleration and stable handling
Clever interior storage options

Cons

SUV style but lacks basic SUV capability
Narrow rear-window visibility makes reversing a minor challenge
Low-grip tires limit performance potential

What's new

EX trim gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Remote start feature allows for heating or cooling of the cabin
Expanded availability of advanced driver assist features
Part of the first Niro generation introduced for 2017

Depending on what angle you view it from, the position of the sun, and any preconceived ideas you hold about automotive design, the 2021 Kia Niro EV can be a wagon, a hatchback or an SUV. Calling the Niro an SUV, as Kia does, is a bit ambitious — ground clearance is low, cargo space is minimal, and there's no all-wheel drive — but regardless of body style, the all-electric Niro EV completes a trio of energy-efficient alternatives that include the Niro hybrid and plug-in hybrid.

A 64-kWh battery and 201-horsepower electric motor combine for quick acceleration and a stated range of 239 miles on a full charge. That's not as much as rivals such as the Chevrolet Bolt or Tesla Model 3, although we found the Kia capable of more real-world distance in our testing. Roomy seating and an array of standard features such as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration further enhance the Niro EV's appeal. Be sure to read our test team's opinion in our Expert Rating below and learn why the Niro EV is one of our top-ranked electric vehicles.

Edmunds Expert Rating

Our Verdict^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

8.3 /10

The Kia Niro EV is a feature-packed hatchback with 239 miles of range and an eager-to-please personality. Quick acceleration and stable handling also make the Niro EV more fun to drive than its eco-friendly nature might suggest. Other highlights include a spacious and well-thought-out interior and plenty of standard features.

Rated for you by America’s best test team.

Performance

8.0/10

How does the Niro EV drive? Kia markets the Niro EV as a crossover SUV, but it moves and handles more like a small performance car. Power is plentiful, immediate and delivered smoothly. In Edmunds' testing, our Niro EV tester accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 6.8 seconds. That's noticeably quicker than rival EVs such as the Chevy Bolt and Nissan Leaf, though the Tesla Model 3 is quicker still.

The braking is smooth and consistent. The Niro offers partial one-pedal driving, but it won't bring you to a complete stop unless you hold the steering paddle. The steering is direct but doesn't translate much feedback from the road. When the Niro is pushed, the suspension keeps the car planted and composed. It's fun to drive this car quickly, though the eco-oriented tires provide only modest amounts of grip.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the Niro EV? We like the Niro's ride quality. It smooths out bumps in the road without being overly soft or bouncy. The front seats are well shaped and firm, but they don't offer many adjustments. The dual-zone climate control works quickly and evenly, and the rear air vents are a welcome feature for passengers. The Niro's available ventilated front seats for cooling are a rare and appreciated feature for an electric vehicle at this price.

The Niro EV is very quiet with little wind, tire or road noise coming into the cabin. At low speeds, the car emits a futuristic whirring sound that's required to help alert pedestrians. It fades away above 20 mph.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? Kia nailed the Niro EV's interior, which is surprisingly very different from the standard Niro's. The EV's front console has plenty of extra storage space and adds an intuitive dial shifter to complement the rest of the easy-to-use cabin controls. The available 10.25-inch screen has a premium look to it.

As far as space goes, there's a generous amount up front. The rear offers plenty of legroom and headroom for its size — something we've knocked some competitors for not having. It's also easy to get in and out of thanks to the square door openings. The rear window is a bit small, which can hamper your view when backing up or trying to see what's behind you in traffic. Otherwise, the Niro EV is pretty easy to see out of.

Technology

8.5/10

How’s the tech? The Niro's infotainment system is functional and easy to use, and the EX Premium trim's 10.25-inch screen further improves the experience. There are EV-specific screens that show range, driving data and more, which is a welcome feature for eco-conscious drivers. Syncing a smartphone is easy, and the Niro quickly reconnects once you get back inside. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is standard. Our test Niro EV had three USB ports (one data and two charging ports) as well as a wireless charging pad.

The Niro (like its corporate sibling, the Hyundai Kona Electric) comes standard with a full suite of advanced driver aids. We like the smooth and easy operation of the adaptive cruise control, especially in traffic. But we found the lane keeping assist to be too aggressive, constantly fighting your hands to make minor corrections.

Storage

8.0/10

How’s the storage? Rear cargo space is good for its size because of the Niro's hatchback body. As EVs go, the Niro is only slightly behind the Kona and Leaf when it comes to total storage capacity. But it makes the most of it by being easy to load and having rear seats that fold flat easily.

Up front, you'll find a lot of places to store your small items inside the cabin. All four doors feature pockets and water bottle holders. The main cupholders are adjustable and can be folded away to provide another bin or room for larger water bottles. Finally, we've found that it's pretty easy to install child safety seats thanks to the Niro EV's roomy rear seat and easily accessible seat anchors.

Range and Efficiency

8.5/10

How are the range and efficiency? The EPA estimates the Niro EV will use 30 kWh of electricity for every 100 miles driven. That's about average for an EV in this price range. Total EPA-estimated range is 239 miles, which is also average. But in real-world driving, we've found this figure pretty conservative.

In Edmunds' testing, the Niro traveled 285 miles on a single charge and was more efficient, using 25.3 kWh for every 100 miles. This is the second-longest tested range behind the Hyundai Kona at 315 miles. Depending on your route, the weather and your driving style, you'll probably be able to outperform the EPA's estimates as well.

Value

8.5/10

Is the Niro EV a good value? You get a lot for your money relative to other EVs, plus the Niro still qualifies for the full $7,500 federal tax credit. The Niro comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, dual-zone climate control, automatic emergency braking and lane keeping assist. The available ventilated front seats are nice too.

The Niro is solidly put together, but next to the Model 3, the Niro just looks and feels like less of a bargain. Still, there was nary a squeak or rattle from the car, especially important given how quiet the Niro EV is on the road.

The Niro comes with a 7.2-kW onboard charger. Charging times vary, but in general Kia estimates a full charge off a proper 240-volt wall unit at 7.2 kW (what most owners will have installed at home) takes nine hours and 35 minutes. It's estimated to take 59 hours to reach a full charge off a standard 120-volt outlet with the included cable (not recommended). Keep in mind that these times are going from an empty battery to full; most of the time you'll just be topping off. The Niro also has DC fast-charging capability.

Wildcard

8.0/10

This car is much more fun than you expect it to be and shines both in traffic and on a twisty road. It's small and nimble, which makes it easy to place into a corner or slide into a small gap in traffic. The steering doesn't offer much feedback to the driver, but it's quick and weighted well. With a set of summer tires, the Niro would be a mean little hot hatchback.

The styling is more conservative-looking than some rivals, but it's also less polarizing. We dig the design and blue accents inside and out, and the plastic cladding gives it a bit of an SUV vibe.

Which Niro EV does Edmunds recommend?

The base EX trim comes with enough features that most drivers will want that we don't see a compelling need to upgrade. The not-insignificant price jump to the EX Premium gets you a sunroof, ventilated seats and other luxury items, but nothing extra in terms of power, range or performance.

Kia Niro EV models

The Kia Niro EV is a five-passenger electric vehicle. A 64-kWh battery and a 201-horsepower electric motor combine for 239 miles of range (EPA estimate) on a full charge. The Niro EV comes in two trim levels: the base EX and the EX Premium.

5/5 stars, Kia eNoro range far longer than EPA rating

Jeff Smith, 12/25/2021

EX 4dr SUV (electric DD)

Love my Kia eNiro more and more as I've driven it. Power and agility are better than other SUVs Ive driven and owned in that size. Range has much further than the 239 mile EPA range, which puzzled me. Then Edmunds published a real world range test (Feb. 9, 2021) showing eNiro with 289 miles of range which matched what i was seeing. Haven't had to pay for gas or wait in gas line in over a …

New Aug 31st, excellent deal with existing VW Jetta 2019 LEASED used as trade in, over $10,000 less with Fed $7500rebate and $3300 dealer incentives.

2021 Kia Niro EV video

2019 Kia Niro EV | First Look | Paris Auto Show

[MUSIC PLAYING] ALISTAIR WEAVER: We first saw the Kia Niro EV, as it'll be known in the US, back at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January. Now, nine months later, it's making its debut in production form here in Paris, and we're told it'll be in US dealerships next year. Apart from a new grill and a bit of blue detail, it looks pretty much like any other Niro, which I think is a good thing. It doesn't feel the need to shout about its eco-pretensions. It should be effective, though. Kia's claiming a range around 240 miles, which will be highly competitive up against rivals like the Chevy Volt and Nissan LEAF. Inside, you get a bit more blue detailing, an extra storage box where the gear stick once was, and this 7-inch touch screen has been reconfigured with more information. There's even a function that allows you to calculate how much carbon dioxide you save by choosing EV compared with a gasoline alternative, so you can feel extra smug and self-righteous.

2019 Kia Niro EV | First Look | Paris Auto Show

NOTE: This video is about the 2019 Kia Niro EV, but since the 2021 Kia Niro EV is part of the same generation, our earlier analysis still applies.

Edmunds Editor-in-Chief Alistair Weaver takes a close look at the production-ready 2019 Kia Niro EV at the Paris auto show. Aside from its grille-turned-charge-port and some blue detailing, the fully electric Niro looks like any other Niro, which Alistair endorses. Check out the video…

Kia Niro EV vs. the competition

2021 Kia Niro EV

2021 Hyundai Kona Electric

Kia Niro EV vs. Hyundai Kona Electric

Kia and Hyundai share the same larger corporate umbrella, so the Niro EV and Kona Electric share many similarities in regards to range, power, and standard and optional features. But the two cars will appeal to slightly different buyers and preferences. The Kona is a little sportier to drive, while the Niro has a roomier back seat but a bit less cargo capacity.

Compare Kia Niro EV & Hyundai Kona Electric features

Kia Niro EV vs. Chevrolet Bolt EV

Like the Kona, the Bolt is a bit smaller than the Niro. That gives it an ideal footprint for tight city parking and maneuvers, yet it's also capable of a free-ranging 259 miles on a full charge. The Bolt's rear seat is about as roomy as the Niro's, although the upholstery and other cabin materials aren't as nice. The Bolt also doesn't offer nearly as many of the Niro's premium features.

Compare Kia Niro EV & Chevrolet Bolt EV features

Kia Niro EV vs. Tesla Model 3

It's slightly more expensive than the Niro EV, but the Tesla Model 3 offers more of just about everything. It's quicker, arguably more stylish and American-made, and it offers access to Tesla's Supercharger charging network. The minimalist interior also looks great, though we prefer the Niro's more traditional setup of buttons and dials to the Tesla's touchscreen. The Model 3 also lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.

Should I lease or buy a 2021 Kia Niro EV?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
