Wake up thinking "why?"

Why did I buy this car? It drives with more hums, thumps and growls than a Disney ride. If you like feeling out of control behind the wheel, this is the car for you! And then there's the dashboard: a mysteriously designed, complex, frustrating and downright awful assemblage of controls that will likely help you get into an accident. And then, not even a year old, a call back. Never again. I have regretted this purchased for a while now.

I recently leased a 2025 Kia Niro Wave EV. It’s easy to drive, and practical in every sense of the word. If you want excitement with your car, this is not the car for you. It’s the perfect all around car. It’s compact, but can hold 5 people. It can also hold a good amount of cargo. It’s a smooth ride, pleasant but it won’t make you say “wow” what a car. If you want good practical eco friendly transportation, get this car. Whether as a hybrid or EV it won’t let you down. Just know you are getting a solid , environmentally friendly and practical car.

Kia Niro EV is horrible don't buy it

I don’t right a lot of reviews however I am so upset and disappointed with my Kia Niro I felt I needed to inform others. I bought a Kia Niro EV vehicle and have never been so pissed off with the service or “customer support” (which should read NO customer support). The app is of no help. I set the app to charge my vehicle to 80% and every night it changes to only charge to 50%. So I can’t drive everywhere I need to. I have had problems with the 12 volt battery and had to pay the dealership $500 to replace the battery only to have it die again in less than 6 months. I normally would have changed it myself but I had to tow the vehicle to the dealership b/c I couldn’t get a jump start. So I had to have it towed twice. No acknowledgement or reimbursement on a battery that was under warranty. Kia sucks. Do not go with this company. I now have a EV vehicle that I can’t charge for more than 130 miles when it states you can get over 250 miles per charge. I was told to update the navigation system (which I don’t see what has to do with the charge but I attempted to do it) and when I had to do the update on my own with no support from the “NO support center” I had to fork over another $30 for a memory stick which could not be accepted or read by the vehicle. So now I am told to buy a different memory stick that costs $50 to see if that works. How much money are they thinking I have to fix all the issues that Kia EV vehicles have. Hell I bought a Kia b/c they are cheaper and now I see why. Don’t do what I did and buy a KIA, they won’t help, they will ask for more money and then expect you to fix their problems. I bought a new car to avoid issues and this has only been the worst decision in my life. Learn from my mistakes and don’t trust “they are a better company than 4 years ago”. They still suck, they won’t help and they will be costing you money while you have your car. Kia Sucks
