Best car I've had

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.

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!

Great price for what you get. It's fast! Also, has plenty of cargo space. Safety features are best, and comes standard. I like the auto adjustable driver's seats, heated seats and wheel, apple/android play.. all standard. You get a lot for your money, with one of the top warranties out there.

Excellent So Far

I’ve had the car 2 weeks, and I am not a high mileage driver. There are a lot of functions new to me that I’ve not yet tried, probably others I haven’t discovered. However, even before mastering any, this is a great car. Although the Niro EV is smaller than the sedans I’ve driven for 15+ years (Kia Amonti, Hyundai Azera), it feels roomier inside while leaving significantly more room to park 2 cars in a tight 2-car garage. The range is about 280 miles, so a round trip to Wisconsin (101 miles away/ 202 round trip) was completed with plenty miles to spare. Although highway mileage drains more juice, the difference was just 25 more miles over the round trip. Acceleration is faster and smoother than any car I’ve driven in over 50 years. Braking & handling are also smooth. The Smart Cruise Control does great reducing & restoring speed on highways (70 mph down to 50 mph & back to 70) as traffic conditions change. So far, I have only used the 120V slow charger that comes with the car without problems.
