The 2024 Kia Niro Ev is really fun to drive. The backseat is able to handle three adults. The fronts seats are very comfortable. The auto lift gate is very convenient. The cargo area already has a protective mat. I had to buy one for my other EV vehicle. So far haven't found any negatives.

Great for a daily driver

This is my fifth lease of an EV and my third Niro EV. I have over 10K on this version. Overall the car is a wonderful daily driver even in winter (Western NY). Why did I get this one? Larger than Kona, better built than Leaf and Bolt, safer than Tesla (lack of buttons is a safety hazard for me!). Cheaper than Ioniq 5 and has a rear wiper. Cheaper than Mach E with thicker tires for winter. Unlike many cars Niro EV has a heated steering wheel in the base model in my area. Much more headroom than EV6 and ioniq 6 (we can't even fit in the back seat (6'3 and 6'5 son)). Visibility is great; hatchback is great. Efficiency is better than most EVs (often over 4 miles/kwh). Many improvements in looks and electronics/software since version 1. Kudos to Edmunds for including this on their list (many outlets leave this off even though the Niro EV has legendary status in N. Europe/UK). I disagree with the cons of Edmunds. The fabric seats on the base model are comfortable and if you select sport mode, the responsiveness is more than needed for legal safe driving. My minor cons (especially compared to the 2021 version): no sunglasses holder, dashboard climate/radio buttons are annoying (dual purpose as in EV6), no charge cable included, backup noise is too loud, no LED headlights (and made more difficult to upgrade).

It drives nice and has great safety features! My first EV and while there is a learning curve I’ve really come to enjoy it!

Lots of Tech on my Niro Hybrid

I traded in my 2021 Niro for a 2023 Niro only because I loved the new redesign. What a mistake. I loved my 2021 and I hate the 2023 because of all the high tech and large touch screen. I hate touch screens. If I could find a new car today without a touch screen, I'd buy it in a minute. Don't get me wrong I've had a lot of comments about it's looks and I love the way it drives. I'm averaging 60.2 MPG. I love everything about the Niro except for the touch screen which is difficult to use.

My First EV

I test drove a few others, but the Niro was more fun to drive, and felt better to sit in. I'm excited for my first EV.
