KIA E-NIRO (ELECTRIC SUV) - STILL AS GOOD AS IT WAS?

EV Channels Review

The Kia e-Niro, a long-time favorite for its efficiency and family-friendly nature, is re-evaluated against a more competitive EV market. The reviewer highlights its exceptional real-world range, consistently achieving around 250 miles even in colder conditions, a feat few competitors match. The interior is praised for its comfortable seats, good build quality with a mix of physical buttons and a touchscreen, and ample rear passenger space, though some elements like the gloss black trim are noted as dated and prone to scratches. The boot space is a significant advantage over its sibling, the Kia Niro. While the e-Niro offers strong performance with nearly 200 horsepower, its handling is deemed less refined, feeling bouncy and lacking the confidence for spirited driving. The reviewer also points out the lack of rear USB ports as a sign of its age. Despite a significant price increase due to government grant changes, the e-Niro is still considered a brilliant EV, particularly for its efficiency and range, making it a practical, if not exciting, choice for families, though its styling is described as anonymous.
