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.

If you want an EV that doesn't look like an electric car, this is the car for you.

Extremely pleased, would be a 4.5 star if I could have entered it. 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. Note VW would not allow Kia dealer the $14,200 payoff for me, instead charge$16,700, Jim Sipala accepted the extra bucks. Got a check from VW for $2700 2 weeks later, he’ll of a deal. Swapped my 23k VW for a 46k EV for $65 more a month, save $75 a month on gas based on 1k miles mthly. EVs Yes! The Kia Niro after 2500 miles provides just about everything the mfg claims it does. The acceleration is so smooth and instant, it’s fun to drive just normally let alone pushing it some. Handling quite acceptable, maneuvers great. Highway speeds 70 + feels safe and is quiet., did 90 feels same as 70. Premium model has everything in the way of safety features and luxury as well. Back up sound bings especially helpful n parking lots. Already avoided parking lot collision with auto brake feature. Lastly, mileage range is right on spec at 4 miles per kw, I managed up to 4.5 in summer, that’s 288 range, now in winter about 275 range. I drive reasonably, but not at posted, mostly round town. The regeneration braking is the reason, and you can control how much applies. Negatives? Mostly the display screen, lots of control features to deal with. I’m 78 so little slow on the tech side. Eating used to it. Put Juice charging station in our attached garage, costs $700 plus $550 install 220 line, less PA $750 and Peco $50 rebates, net cost $450 no brainer, and overnight charge a simple plug in. Wif gettinggTesla long range in Jan, with adapter plug, will charge both EVs. AND NOW WE WILL BOTH “PASS GAS”

The perfect transition EV from a Toyota corolla.

This car was everything I expected - The only thing I have a negative about is the quick depletion of the 26 mile battery usage. I suppose that is my fault as I drive it more than I expected :)
