Pros- nice looking, economical, enough power. Cons- no spare tire of any kind, limited cargo area, have had issues with dash light screen going out, like driving with turned off tv screen. So far dealer unable to locate problem. So sorry I decided to purchase Kia product with so many other brands available!

Kia Niro - Drives Well, Bad usb connection

2023 Kia Niro EX Touring 4dr SUV (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM)

* Car drives well and has lots of interesting tech features * USB port works inconsistently -- I've tried different cables and still doesn't work properly. * Apple Carplay disconnects at random due to USB issue, so navigation and entertainment becomes unavailable.

44mpg is what I'm averaging on my new Niro EX. The up-to-date safety features, comfort, and, of course, the mpg on this hybrid are what I was looking for. That said, getting off from a standing stop is a bit slow. But once you get the feel of the automatic (not cvt) transmission , you'd be fine with it UPDATE: I love my Niro hybrid. The only problem is the difficulty of switching functions on the 12" control panel, which can be very distracting while driving.

Better than Expected

2023 Kia Niro LX 4dr SUV (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM)

I have almost 20K miles on my white LX. Great Lakes winters and still 52 MPG average! 50/50 highway/city use. The car is very comfortable (6'2") and smooth. A bit more noise on rough surfaces than my previous VW. The sound system and wireless Apple car play work well. LOTS of backs seat room and reasonable storage. I have had many compliments on the design.
