I could go on and on about all the things I like about this car, but the main thing is...315 miles of range! EPA rating of 239 not even close. When fully charged, my range varies between 300 and 326 miles. Also, my range has INCREASED since purchasing this car last year even though range should decrease about 2% a year. In full disclosure, I always drive in ECO mode, use maximum regeneration, don't accelerate or brake hard and drive pretty gentle. However, shouldn't we all drive that way anyway? Now this is NOT a sports car, but for day to day driving and a great price (with federal/state incentives), I highly recommend it. 240V charger in my garage takes about 8-9 hours for full charge. No more gas stations. Never thought I'd own an electric car, at least not this soon, but I will never go back to ICE again.

Great car so far. Difficult to find a better value in a fully electric vehicle of this size.

Kia eNoro range far longer than EPA rating

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 year, no Jiffy Lube bills either. Half my electric I've found for free around town at the Mall and grocery stores. Best car I have owned and I've owned many in my 50+ years!

My previous car was a 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid, which I loved. After almost 8 years and nearly 100,000 miles, I decided to trade it in while it was still worth something. I knew I wanted an EV, and was planning to get a Chevy Bolt, but got tired of waiting for the manufacturing pause to end. I did a little further research and decided to check out the Kia Niro EV in person. As soon as I saw it on the lot, I knew it was my car. It's cute in a conventional way, it has an impressive amount of tech that I actually use, the seats are comfortable (my main complaint about the Fusion was that the front seats were terrible), and the size is just right. Though it is a little different to drive than a conventional car, it was easy to learn and not at all intimidating. Most impressively, I have always gotten well over the EPA range rating; I average over 300 miles per charge. This is a well-designed, good-looking, and user-friendly EV and I will never go back to an internal combustion engine.

It’s been one year and 10,000 miles on my 2021 Niro premium EV, and I do really love this car. First off economy, I drive mostly short trips under 100 miles, and average about 4.4 miles per kw or 290 miles per full charge. Highway speeds of 75-80 drops to 3.5, same for winter months. Overall save about $160:a month on gas! Acceleration is impressive in sport mode, lAlmost Like my wife’s Tesla dual motors and very acceptable in Eco mode. Handling is competent, comfortable seats and ride. I prefer the in dash display screen over the iPads type, most features easy to use, and monitoring of speed, recharging, and miles/kw display reminds of economy driving. Agree too many icons on screen when swiping, but a minor nuisance. Lastly, being a frequent golfer, I love the storage tray under the fold down rear section, It literally holds all my golfing gear, oleaving the floor free of loose items. Sporty looking too! I see it’s rated #2 behind only Tesla 3, about 25 grand less! Also , install a charger if you can, check rebates, PA gives $1000 or more, income dependent. Lastly, plenty of charging stations, and shows closest e while driving. It’s 2years and now 22,000 miles and after re reading my review I have to say ‘dittio’ I truly agree with all my original comments today. Actual miles per kw is up to 4.6, and if it’s driven easy have hit 5.0, so averaging about 300 miles range, that’s over many new EVs. I use the paddle controls for breaking often, adds to feel of driving. Breaks are about 12% used after 22k so no break replacement in sight for a long time. Lastly in house charger is best, but for my driving I use the 110 line, and have a Tesla charger installed for my wife’s T 3. Kia has been terrific! Now 26,000 and all of above applies. Miles per kw remains in the 4.5 + driving in eco majority of time
