Most of our daily travel is within the EV range (26 miles), with occasional longer road trips out of state. So, a PHEV was perfect for our needs. We decided on the EX trim line because it had most of what we wanted, without having to pay for a sunroof that we would never use. We also like the EX trim level included wirelessly Apple CarPlay, unlike the upgraded EX Premium trim. There is plenty of room for my 6'3" husband and he can easily find a comfortable driving position. And, also loads of legroom in the rear seats for a vehicle this size. The motor/engine is not terribly "zippy", but suits our needs. The one thing I miss (that we had on previous vehicles) is the remote gate/garage buttons on the rearview mirror. For whatever reason, they are not available on any trim level of the Niro PHEV. We bought it in October 2021. Unfortunately, the dealer was marking their vehicles up way over MSRP. The only other PHEV SUV/Crossover, besides the Kia Niro PHEV, that is sold in our state is the Volvo SC60 (which was more than we wanted to spend). Otherwise, we would have checked out the Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid and the Toyota RAV4 Prime. When EVs get better range, we would consider one. Until then, it is a PHEV for us. Would we buy it again? Absolutely!
More than I expected!

The first new vehicle I purchased in six years. It does all I expected and more. Easy to use plugin, solid ride, quality feel.

Had the car for 3 months. In Roseville shop for over a month and they couldn’t fix the problem. Had to end up trading in in and lost money buying another vehicle.
Niro Fills a Gap in US Market

In our opinion the Niro PHEV stands alone in the US market with practical efficiency. Room to seat 4 tall adults, 5 if needed, while achieving remarkable hybrid efficiency, and even EV solo abilities for around-town errands at even higher efficiency. Our son, who lives in the UK, bought one of these and we drove it over a 5 week period and found it checked all the right boxes for us. We looked into getting one for ourselves back home in the US, and our only complaint is the US market does appreciate a comfortable, gas sipping, small cross-over - leading to a problem with availability. We did find a tricked out 2019 that was very nice, but no new cars on the lots in town. The new 2023 has some features which improve the offering - larger, more EV range and power, but these are not available here. If it was, we would pounce on it.
