I would not recommend this vehicle!!! At first I was completely in Love with this vehicle! But then...First came there coolant reservoir..totally erupted all over the engine. Next was the water pump recall.. followed by transmission issue after check engine light on!!! And while this was all happening I have a grinding noise that according to my Kia dealer is normal!! This is not normal! All started after taking in for a simple oil change! 5500 miles ish. Took it in And they said that it was fixed. Then decided after I insisted on a test drive that it wasn’t fixed and that it’s a normal sound. I believe it’s a transmission issue as it only does it in automatic vs manual usage. I am beyond frustrated and honestly bummed that a car that ran so perfectly initially has turned into a hot mess. Save yourself some cash and buy something else. Cooperate has been unable to resolve Update- so after horrible customer service and a lot of just awful treatment.. turns out the customer was right! My Niro needed a new transmission! Do not let KIA push you around if your experiencing this issue! Hopefully I will not need another one once I reach that 5,000 miles on this new transmission!

We have enjoyed the Niro EX , our lease went smoothly. I wanted to try a hybrid car before commit to buying it. We have leased a kia Soul before. The Niro has all the options we wanted in the EX model, I love the blind spot. The easy of driving it . Ican't stay out of it the manual is a good peppy drive. I am getting about 60 mpg n the first tank that was 612 miles . Really like the kia. 4 stars, san antonio tx.

2020 Kia Niro LX 4dr SUV (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM)

Replaced 2011 Sportage with new ‘20 Niro LX. Gas mileage is steadily 55mpg on the freeway & sometimes a bit more. Interior is fine and driver’s seat comfortable. Available bells & whistles perfectly adequate and very much appreciate Apple Car Play. A/C very good and all the necessary controls for phone & speed control logically arranged on steering wheel arms. Despite one review saying acceleration isn’t good, I completely disagree. It’s not a big or supercharged engine but it gets up to freeway speed very smoothly and quickly. I also like the split climate control, giving the option for all A/C to be on driver’s side if no passenger present. Also like the very wide angle of the back up camera.

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.
