Best hybrid on the market.
I absolutely love the nero! It has so many amazing features from having a plug in the car to being a hybrid. I generally get almost 600 miles to a tank which saves so much money in the long run. I have the luxury trim and the heated and air-conditioned seats as well as a steering wheel are a life changer.

Minor feedback; overall love!
The only main issue I have is the lack of acceleration, especially when going for parked to gas. It could speed up a bit faster, which would make the whole experience much better! In addition, although it is very minor, is if there could be a way to add an alarm/noise that alerts you if you leave the car with the lights on; sometimes I forget, and my old car had that feature, which I really came to love!

Kia niro vehicle review tx.
No problems, fun car that gets really great mileage for a small suv. I average 50 miles per gallon. There is a great deal of room. I can get a lot of things in the back of the vehicle. Heated seats. The defrost works really well. The climate control works great.

Amazing family car with many features.
I purchased this vehicle in April 2020, have not had any issues with it so far. I have already taken 10+ road trips in it and the gas mileage is amazing. I get around 500 miles on one tank of gas. It is very spacious but also not a huge SUV. I have a toddler who loves riding in it. There's many really nice features such as push to start, back up camera, even a wireless phone charger so you just set your phone down and it charges. I love this car so much and will drive it for many years.

Kia Niro - great buy, would recommend.
The Kia Niro is great. It is the perfect size, gets great gas mileage, is fun to drive, and looks rather sporty. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend a Kia Niro to any family and friends looking for a small SUV/CUV. The interior is comfortable and stylish looking, and I really appreciate the included apple carplay. The safety features are great as well, with blind spot monitoring, lane assist, a backup camera (with rear cross traffic collision warning), it makes me feel safe when I am on the road.

Cool, small compact SUV with interesting highlights.
Wish there was more trunk space but fuel economy is great. Safety features are cool. Like lane assist. I wish it had the powered liftgate or hands free liftgate. Like smart cruise control. Wish it had a front camera to see objects ahead. When parking or had parking assist.
