KIA NIRO EV 2023 - HYBRID, PHEV & NOW AS FULLY ELECTRIC CAR!

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Kia Niro EV is presented as a mature evolution of its predecessor, offering a practical and comfortable electric driving experience. The reviewer highlights its improved design, spacious interior with a focus on sustainable, animal-free materials like Tencel seats, and a user-friendly cockpit featuring physical buttons alongside dual screens. While praised for its excellent all-around visibility, comfortable seating, and decent handling, the Niro EV falls short in charging speed, topping out at 80 kW, which leads to longer charging times compared to competitors. The reviewer notes that while it's enjoyable to drive, especially in urban environments and at moderate highway speeds, the front-wheel-drive setup limits its sportiness during spirited acceleration out of corners. Real-world range is estimated around 380 km (240 miles). Overall, it's deemed a highly usable and comfortable daily driver, though not a performance-oriented EV.
