Could have been the best

We bought a Niro LX for $21,000 + tax. Here are the highlights and low lights. Amazing MPG - I'm getting over 60 mpg. Price without leather was great...$21,000. The sports mode turns this into A SUPER FAST sports car. (No kidding...it will blow almost anything away for 20 yards.) I couldn't believe it. Now the bad... The front seat sucks but a good cushion will fix it. The ride is a bit sporty...it's not horrible but could be better. The stereo speakers are ok but you might want to upgrade. Well, that's it. My wife loves the car but she loves her 2014 Prius. I'll give it a 4 out of 5. Also, Kia has a super warranty. -------------------------------------------- 3 month update: I've driven about 2200 miles and am getting over 600 miles on a fill-up. That's really nice. I can hookup my phone with a YouTube app and play thousands of songs through the media button, so I won't need Sirusxm. That's good. The car is easy to wash. Takes about 20 minutes by hand. Car handles very nice around town and is agile. I'm 6'4" and weigh about 290 and I have plenty of room. So far it's been a good purchase. I was going to buy a RAV4 Hybrid but we saved around $8,000 with the NIRO and are getting way better gas mileage. Update at 10,000 miles. I've had no issues with the car. We took it on a 3300 mile road trip. It got absolutely great gas mileage. Drives nice on the highway. I've enjoyed this car and I hope it lasts.

Best hybrid for the price

Just bought our second Kia Niro. We got one 11 months ago and are so crazy about it, that my husband and I argued about whose turn it was to take it. So I went out and bought my own. Gas savings are fabulous and it's very roomy and comfortable. Love the price, too.

The Niro is a Hero

This is a great commuter vehicle. I am consistently getting better than the advertised average gas mileage at almost 55 MPG. It is a very comfortable vehicle even for me being larger than most people. The technology is outstanding and well laid out on the dashboard. I have the back seats down most the time to take advantage of the extra cargo space. I have to admit it was a big adjustment for me going from a V8 to 4 Cyl Hybrid as far as power, but it performs well enough for my everyday driving.

Vacation Rental

Traveler, Canton, IL, 12/09/2019

My husband and I requested a hybrid rental vehicle to save $$ on our vacation. Got a 2019 Kia Niro and were amazed at the MPG we got, averaged 55 MPG mostly highway miles. It wasn't a bad ride either, once we got used to the differences as this was our first experience with a hybrid. Unfortunately, we were rear ended on a highway when at a stop for construction by a texting driver at 55 MPH. That being said, we were both very impressed with the car. No major injuries for either driver or passenger and none of our cargo was damaged at all but the car was totaled. We were so impressed that we are now looking to replace our current gas powered vehicle with a Kia Niro hybrid. It seems we can get a top of the line Kia for less than a mid-range hybrid from other manufacturers. YES!

Niro USB port/android auto issues

Branna, Edison, NJ, 07/14/2020

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?
