HOW WE GOT A 300-MILE RANGE USED EV AT AUCTION FOR £19K

EV Channels Review

The reviewer successfully acquired a 2020 Kia e-Niro for £19,100 (all-in) via auction, achieving a genuine 300-mile range, primarily from motorway driving. The e-Niro is praised for its efficiency, spaciousness without being overly large, comfortable ride, and excellent adaptive cruise control. The reviewer highlights its practicality, including a good sound system and heated seats/steering wheel. A significant advantage noted is the remaining 7-year Kia warranty, offering peace of mind for a used purchase. The car's battery health is excellent, showing no meaningful degradation after 46,000 miles. Downsides are its relatively slow charging speed (77kW max) and a minor niggle with the touchscreen interface lacking a grab point. Despite the Tesla Model 3 being an alternative, the e-Niro's superior warranty and better value for the budget made it the preferred choice for the reviewer.
