Everything works well. Acceleration is great. Good car for around town chores. Brakes a indicated is a bit not form, need to get use to it and press harder. Engin eis smooth. Transmission is smooth, good for stop and go traffic. Dashboard has good layout. Need to have better graphics on the main instrument panel to make the feel more high tech. But overall a VERY good hybrid car.

I bought mine (2017 Niro Touring) brand new in 2017. It has help up well over the years. For context I drive 104 miles round trip 5 days a week for work travel. at around 115k miles my check engine light came on. After many back and fourths with Kia it was determined the problem was a variable timing belt. ($3k to replace) The problem still exists and Kia is giving me the run around. Now my HEV! warning light is coming on. I am having a hard time keeping the battery levels up as I do a lot of highway driving to and from work for my commute. If you commute is much less than mine, buy this car. If your commute is as bad as mine they perhaps look elsewhere. Also you may want to put away 5-8k for the day when you hybrid battery goes KAPUT! as that is the current going rate to replace it.

I enjoy this vehicle. Got and finish is great. Acceleration is great for a hybrid. Transitions from EV to gas engine are seamless. Mileage has been consistent with EPA estimates. Overall, I get 49.5 mpg on average.

Still riding on the original Michelin tires, the car has been completely free of problems. Had front brakes redone and oil changes. That is it The fuel economy is better than reported and I use eco mode and adaptive cruise control all the time. Even in town driving I would get another in a second
