2018 Kia Niro Reviews

The Kia Niro is amazing, best car I have ever owned. It is got everything on it that you could want, including sunroof. It is considered a small SUV but because of the 18” wheels it does sit a little higher than most of the niro’s. The one we have is a Niro touring! Great gas mileage, get 500 miles on a tank of gas. It is very sporty looking and since we've had it for two years now, nothing has gone wrong with it! Runs perfect. We leased it for three years, but next year we will buy it outright. Too good of a car not to keep. It is a very comfortable car to drive and easy to drive.

This is more of a car not a CUV. Great on gas, have taken this car on many road trips and is very comfortable ride. A lot more roomy that you would think. We have had two fifty pound boxers and our luggage in the car and still has room to move. The car is easy to keep clean. Even though it only has around 130 combined horsepower still has a lot of get up and go. Way more that the Kia should that I had before. Also for all that you get one the car it is at a great price point.

I love my Niro. It is hybrid so I seldom stop for gas and get over 500 miles to a fill up. It is comfortable, has a great sound system and is a very responsive car to drive. Handles well in wet or dry weather and is great in the snow. And my husband is well over 6 feet tall and he fits comfortably in the car. It is got great cargo space and I am able to fit anything I need into the back, especially because the back seats fold down. I am so happy I have this car.

I love our car. It fits the rear facing car seat comfortably. It may not be as comfortable for tall people, over 6 feet. I do wish it was just a tad bigger. The hybrid gets excellent gas mileage. Better in the city, than highway. We've had it almost 3 years and have not had any problems. We keep up with the regular service visits. The seats are a great fabric/leather mix. Easy to clean and vacuum. I love the display options in the drivers area. I like that you can have a digital speedometer if you want. The heated seats are really nice. A life saver when I have back problems.

Main problem: if you buy the roof racks, they make a horrible whistling noise. Also be sure to have the insurance on them because parts can/will fall off. Everything else about the Kia Niro is amazing. I love that it can go off road, and that it handles really well. What sold it to me is that is does not look like a 'mom-mobile' but has a 5 star safety rating, and can easily fit 3 car seats if need be. It has a quiet engine, most of the time you drive in eco mode, and I have even got the gas mileage up to 84 mpg and it is not a plug in. It is a hybrid! Overall I honestly love this car and would not change anything (other than color) about it.

The vehicle is spacious on the inside. Back seat fits 3 people comfortably with sufficient leg space. The gas per mile is incredible, I pump gas once every 2-3 weeks. The drive is smooth and quiet, when driving with windows up no outside noise comes in. It provide ample truck space fitting full set of groceries and having space. It has hidden compartments for extra small things. The front window is spacious where it does not make you feel like you are trapped or without being low.

I absolutely love my car. It handles very well on ice and snow. There is more legroom than one would expect from looking at it from the outside. It is heated seats make it nice and toasty on those cool days and nights. The gas mileage is very impressive. The GPS is very handy to help you get to your destination. The hands free feature is great so do not have to handle holding phone with calls. The speakers work well for factory system. I have used this car to pack tons of things in. It is a small SUV that is surprisingly roomy. There is one thing I have had to get used to. While driving the car, there is some outside noise you can hear. I just turn on the radio and then do not hear it anymore. This car is a hybrid, so it is gas and electric. When the car starts there is a sound like the car is revving up, but then it quits. While the car is driving, the motor is quiet and so to let people know the car is on there is a sound of like the car is on. It sounds like a car on those sci fi movies. I actually like the sound. As I stated earlier, this car is great! It does allow for 4 to 5 passengers comfortably. There is a decent amount of legroom in the backseat as well. I have driven this car across several states and the gas mileage is amazing. I usually get about 53 mpg. So you can definitely get a lot of miles out of one tank of gas. I would recommend this car to anyone.

My Niro is only the second car I've ever owned. I absolutely love the gas mileage - that's my favorite thing about it. I get around 550 miles out of one tank, and it costs less than $30 to fill up. It has some really great features, like hands-free phone, steering wheel controls, etc. I've never had tech in my car before, so I really love it. I also bought it because of the very high reviews it received and its advanced safety features. I couldn't be happier.

First off, Im in a fix. Because the charge cable will not uncouple from its charging socket I cannot drive the car to the dealer but must have it towed by flatbed. It wont start until the charge cable is unplugged from the car. I can unplug it from the house, but it is the car that wont release the plug. And the car will not drive with the plug attached. Hopefully this is a once in a lifetime catch-22. I’ve had the car for almost a year and its been reliable until now. It does have little shifting issues and acceleration is occasionally jerky and surprising especially in bumper to bumper traffic and lately the proximity alarm has become frequent and unexpected. There are unexpected and unidentifiable beeps from the dashboard daily. The seat and steering wheel are too hot and i notice the cold more at the edges. Occasionally I try to let the gas run out to try to see how well it would work on only electricity. The UI constantly nags me to go to a nearby gas station, eventually my wife gets sick of it and fills up the tank. A bit frustrating to work it back down from the lofty 500 plus miles per tank. Thats most of it so far. Hopefully this current large annoyance will go away permanently so that I can continue to enjoy this pretty good car. ?

I have a 2018 Kia Niro. It is a very nice hybrid vehicle. It is very comfortable to drive. I had a Prius before this. The Kia is probably better than the Prius. The Kia has everything including cooling seats and heated seats, I love these features. I love the keep lane assist. It will actually keep you in the lane if you veer off by turning the wheel! It handles very smoothly. It is very quiet. It gets great gas mileage! So far it has been reliable but I only have 12,000 miles on it. Problems are few. I wish it were a tiny bit bigger.

I do not have real cons that can make me regret of my purchase this car is a 10 out a 10 for me! Of course could be bigger, could be more 'luxurious' but that means that would be way out of my budget, it does not look like and electric car (weird) also gas is just once a week and it is because I am a delivery driver that loves ac. If I was some office worker... Gas would be almost once every 2 weeks. And plus I love that is not an electric car and don't get me wrong because of course you save money with those cars... But hybrid cars is just to easy to get used.

I love the Kia Niro, it is a 2018 and no problems at all. The performance is spectacular, great pick up and excellent on gas. Get 500 or over mpg on a tank of gas. This car is very reliable, always starts, no problems electronically. The comfort and features this Kia has is amazing. Leather interior seats, 16” wheels. It had all the bells and whistles on it as well as a sunroof. It is considered a smaller SUV, but has lots of space. Four door and comfortable seats in the back. The GPS has a nice size screen, cruise control and a charging station for your phone. This is an excellent car for a couple or a family.

My car is very roomy, comes with a backup camera which I love, and is all around very convenient to use. It has a button unlock feature, and I love that if you leave the key in the vehicle it will beep to let you know you forgot it. Also because the car is so quiet sometimes you might leave it on, if you leave the car while it is on it also beeps. The only thing I do not like about my car is the dealership where we bought it because they provide mediocre service.

The Drivability of the Niro is top notch. For being a hybrid there is plenty of pick up and very little sound so it's a peaceful ride. The gas savings is so worth the price tag and I can make road trips without having to map out so many gas stops along the way. The interior is well thought out and space is sufficient for a weekend road trip for four. The steering wheel and controls are accessible and intuitive and the control screen is appropriately sized for the car.
