Review is for LX with standard package. The cargo space is small, I could fit 2-24 pack bottled water and 2-24 pack Pepsi, the rest of my grocery struggle to fit, it will be a bad idea to do big grocery for family of 5 and try to make it fit in trunk, my compact Hyundai Accent even have twice the size on the trunk than the Kia Niro. It will also be a bad idea to use this car for Ikea trips, a compact car would've carried so much more. The acceleration is poor in comparison to other same size SUV, you will have to really step on it to get to 70-75 mph which is the normal tollway speed here in North Texas. There is no extra charger/usb port for the back seat passengers unlike other new vehicles. There is no entertainment other than a Sirius package that's only free for 3 months, nothing special on Evo either as it doesn't even allow you to remotely start your car. The 3 seats in the back is a joke, 3 normal weight teenagers struggle to fit in the back. This is not a road trip car. This is not a 5-family car. This is even not rideshare efficient because of lack of cargo space. The depreciation is also very high, you will see 2018 models already at 33%-43% depreciation (check kbb). I wish I did my research first, but this is my first SUV, so I know what to do next time. Don't impulse buy, please shop around. If you want everything on it, you might as well buy a full size SUV and just use a wind booster to keep you driving economy mode. The warranty is good though, Hyundai/Kia have good warranties. Good luck.

Quality Hybrid

This small car has plenty of space inside and ample headroom. Overall a quality build with great features except no motorized lift gate option that many competitors have. Compact size and reasonable handling although ride options a little stiff with no alternative drive modes. Overall great car with excellent mileage performance.

Great little car

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

The review in this article is very different than my own experience. Driving in eco mode the car is nimble and quick, much more so than an Prius I have driven. The over all driving feel is that of a car with a manual transmission. The steering does feel a little lose at time and the car feels very ‘light’ as well- more like a Honda Civic than a CRV. But, for getting around town and the occasional stint on the hiway, this car handles very nicely with good pickup and passing power. I almost never put this in sport mode as it seems unnecessary. Not loaded with bells and whistles or a tone of creature comforts, my Niro hybrid touring model seems to be a well designed and practical hybrid. Much more fun to drive than other hybrids I have tried.
Love it!!!

Climate control can die

This car gets 543 Mpg and I've had it for 3 years now. But I no longer trust Kia. After 80k miles the tech in the car has begun to act weird; the windows, the touch screen, and THE CLIMATE CONTROL!!! omfg the light to indicate its on is never own and the climate control turns on by itself! I went to get it fix and its no longer covered after 60k miles. No kia isn't going to pay for it. Im sick and done with kia. other than that I've taken this car off-road, from California to new york and back. Its a good car other than that but its annoying
