The BEST hybrid 2019 Niro

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

VERY happy with my choice of the KIA Niro hybrid. I have owned one for 3 months now and my wife and I are very satisfied. Over 50 mpg. Not like the Prius, this is a VERY easy transition from a non-hybrid auto as the interior interface with the driver is hard to distinguish from a standard gas vehicle. Very comfortable and spacious. A good solid feel with plenty of amenities at a very reasonable price. My first KIA and, so far I am sold. I am surprised that the Niro doesn't get more attention. Maybe because it is in the small SUV category. It really is in a category of its own.

Little red Niro

Except for being a little smaller than I would like, this is the perfect first hybrid. Not too expensive but has a lot of safety features.

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.

Great gas mileage but lacks polish even on EX Prem

I love driving my EX Premium Kia Niro. It gets great MPG without even trying! But for a premium level trim it misses out. So many of the great features on the car are not retentive! You get in the car and you have to press all kinds of buttons to get it back to where it was before you turned it off. The Auto high beams work great... If you remember to turn on the feature. Auto-Hold, great feature, but once again you better remember to turn it on. The lane assist works great but sometimes on a curve it just drops out. The glossy front dash and metal trim all reflect the sun in your eyes. I love the vented seats. They stuck all the seat/steering wheel heating/ventilated buttons right near the cup holders. Better not slosh that Sweet tea or all your buttons will be gummed up! Stupid Kia, stupid. The center console has no power outlet and there are none in the back seat either (this is a premium trim)! Power up/down windows are reserved for only the two front windows, In my Sienna they are all power.. No power seat for the passenger. No seat back pocket on drivers seat. No spare tire. A repair kit and a compressor is what you get. The premium sound system ROCKs the house down! YES YOU WILL SAVE ON GAS, BUT THE CAR IS GOING TO COST YOU $10K MORE THEN A STRAIGHT GAS CAR. $10K BUYS A WHOLE LOT OF GAS. YES I WILL LIKELY KEEP IT. Its a cute little car. Just what I need for retirement.
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.
