2019 Kia Niro Touring 4dr SUV (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM)

I helped my 28 year old daughter select her first car and she adores this thing. She insisted on hybrid. We drove the Honda Insight, Accord and Clarity. She also drove a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and my 2014.5 Camry hybrid and ICE RAV4 from 2007. All of them had pros but the main con was they felt too big for her 5' 6" frame. The Niro fit wonderfully. It had enough zip for her and she loves the great MPH. In summer mid 50s and winter mid 40s. She loves dogs and calls it her puppy as the rearview mirrors/ears flap open and closed when approaching or leaving. The technology is awesome as she and her tech savvy webpage designed engineer boyfriend can attest to. The ride is not as refined as a Toyota or Honda in isolating road bumps but for her it is fine. The nimbleness more than makes up for that. Seat comfort is great on long rides. Storage is ok for her needs. Trips to the Shore with only 2 people is super. Visibility is wonderful and so far after 7 months reliability is flawless. Got a 3 year lease for an awesome deal.

Good looking vehicle, but breaks constantly

I test drove the car at the dealer twice and it worked fine. Five days later, the shifting between electrical and gas engine modes is not working. Often, but not every time, when starting at the light intersection, the gas ending hits the clutch as if someone rear-ended the car. The car often stalls on the highway. The needle goes into "power" mode, but the gas engine does not even start. Already 3 weeks at the dealer, they can not fix the problem. Definitely, do not buy this model

Niro USB port/android auto issues

I bought the NIRO about a yr ago... 2019. I really like the car but recently the android auto cuts out & the USB port sounds warped when I'm using the flash drive. I feel like the dealership is blowing me off. I really want this fixed & don't want to worry that I'm going to blow my dashboard. I wonder if anyone else is having this problem?

My Kia Niro is a LEMON!

While driving home from work last Thursday, my 2017 Kia Niro instructed me to immediately pull over and call Kia's "road-side assistance." At least three times in as many years the car has shut down and forced me to pull over. I immediately had my car towed to my local Kia dealer who once again told me it was a minor "fix" and the repairs would covered under the warranty. This has the common response each time my car has been TOWED to a KIA dealership, and each year when the weather gets warm I am left stranded on the side of a hazardous and busy freeway. As the original owner of my Niro, driving less than 10,000 miles each year it is readily is apparent that my car is a LEMON! After three years of patiently believing the Kia service departments when they tell me that my car has been fixed, only to be stranded once again, I have come to the realization that the only professional recourse would be for Kia to refund my money.
2020 Niro ... Overall Disappointing Performance

We own a 2020 Soul EX and love it. Looking for a small SUV, our Kia dealer was the first stop. We can't believe that the same manufacturer makes both vehicles. The Good ... loaded, including ventilated seats, tons of safety features, stylish interior and solid all around. The Bad ... incredibly sluggish performance. What is the fascination with a dual clutch? The hesitation, especially at takeoff, reminds me of an old Buick I owned. It was a no-go from the first stop light. Kia can do better.
