2017 Kia Niro LX 4dr SUV (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM)

This is my 3rd Hybrid, but the best one I've had! My first was a 2nd generation Prius and my second was a PriusC. I'm currently at 55,400 miles and have owned it since Feb 2017. No issues at all! The first year I was getting between 62 to 64 MPG. Today I'm still getting between 58 to 60 MPG which for over 55,000 miles only losing 4 MPG is awesome! Like some other reviews mentioned it doesn't take much to learn the little "tricks" to keep the EV system engaged longer. Going to drive this one as long as I can, then will seriously be considering the full EV model!

Great mileage and a comfortable driving experience. I drive mostly city and routinely see 55-60 mpg but I've only had the car 6 weeks. I am still learning how to drive the hybrid, because it is different from a gasoline car. I'm sure once I adjust my style, this will be the best car I've ever own.

Good car but horribly cheap handles

I have been spoiled by my Acura and Volvo but wanted something cheaper and better MPG. Handles well, good and comfortable for long drives. Transmission is a little sluggish at the start and jerky time to time but nothing bad. Gotten used to it. Driven 4K miles and outside door handle breaks off in my hand!!!! I'm not strong arming the handle for it to break off. Cheap plastic. Hope not dealing with door handles breaking every 4K miles! Can't use the door now till gets fixed. WTH Kia?!? Use better product for handles!!

Best Vehicle I Have Ever Owned!

This vehicle does not drive much differently than a non-hybrid. There is a slight difference during braking due to the regenerative system. You need to be willing to apply break pressure during emergencies so as to engage the normal brake pads. It also takes a bit of getting used to because, in general, the engine does not actually "start" when you initial energize the vehicle. This can be confusing to one's "normal" mindset of the engine turning over.

I love my Niro. It consistently gets above 50 mpg in mixed driving. Even at highway speeds the vehicle runs on EV mode if you are light on the throttle. For the price and the technology, I cannot imagine a better vehicle. Kia knocked it out of the park on this little SUV.
