Great car with great mileage.
Car drives very well. I enjoy all the features. The hybrid is great for gas mileage. The android auto is my replacement for GPS and works great. The trunk space is more than I anticipated. The back seat space is great. Lots of space in the front and back.

An interesting detail about my vehicle is that I get 55 mpg on the highway!
This vehicle is great when it comes to fuel economy. I get great gas mileage when traveling to and from my destinations. This car is also very reliable. All the safety features are advanced and proven to be safe. My vehicle is not too large or too small, making it feel comfortable to drive.

Looks great and drives even better.
I love this car it's so awesome and great on gas. It has been nothing but a blessing to get it off the lot. Saved us a ton of money already and there's more saving to come. Only negative is the windshield is very weak and had a chip on it within the first 6 months.

Fun summer ride in the Niro.
Great vehicle, fun to drive and wonderful on mileage! Always reliable and very comfortable to drive. Very roomy and love the money I have saved. I have not had any issues and people really enjoy my Niro. If you can get past the way it accelerates and how the engine works. This vehicle is for you.

Why I love Kia automobiles and especially the Niro!!
It is the most economical car I have ever owned. It gets up to 50 mpg. It runs very quietly and is easy to handle. I love the safety features, I.E. Blind spot, I love that it has CarPlay and my iPhone works amazingly with it. The back seat is a full seat and is very comfortable. The cargo space is amazing and even more when the back seats are lowered and the surface is flat. It is a car that I would recommend to all.

Kia Niro ev: great vehicle with great value.
I love everything. The interface for the screen is awesome and works great. And, while I enjoy all these, I do not even have to pay for gas! Furthermore, at least in California, pge gives me some money per year to help pay my electricity for the ev because I am saving the environment.

Kia Niro ev: wonderful car for all your needs!
It is very comfortable and offers 300 miles per charge, this is very good compared to the other options on the market. I also really like the heated seats (although many cars have this). Furthermore, the touch screen interface is also very useful for quick controls and switching.

An awesome vehicle. With multiple comforts.
It is a great vehicle. It gets great mileage, is comfortable for 2 people & 2 pets & handles remarkably well. The price was exactly right. It also has a killer stereo that produces the most magnificent reproduction of sound. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another Kia vehicle.

Kia Niro ev, stop getting gas.
I really enjoy my car. I love that I do not need to get gas very often. It runs very quietly and smoothly. It's a high quality car and the cost is very reasonable. Kia has a great deal with the cars and have a great warranty. I'd absolutely but another Kia.

Good but mileage is based on many factors.
I am a little frustrated with the gas mileage. It boasts 49-51 but I am averaging 46. I do drive highway and the mileage is better in good weather. But it is frustrating when you bought the car solely for mileage. But it is nice, comfortable. I think it is a step in the right direction in hybrid technology.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Evelyn C.

The pros are that it gives really good mileage because of the Hybrid EV, with a full tank you get about 520 miles. The Niro its very budget friendly since the gas tank is small, it fills up with less money but maximizes the mileage.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Evelyn C.

The vehicle itself does not have many cons, it's a good size but not the best car to have multiple car seats. It definitely fits the 5 passengers but with a car seat the space becomes a little tight.
