My Kia Niro hybrid is very reliable. I have had no problems with it this far. It is a nice, easy ride, and it gets good miles to the gallon. It is also a very good looking car. It does not have a very powerful engine, but for my needs of commuting, it is sufficient. It also has fairly small trunk space.

Excellent miles per gallon.
No bells and whistles. Plan model but works. Great performance and speed. Excellent gas’s mileage. Haven’t received under 55 miles to the gallon in the city driving as of yet. The key is driving under 55 miles per hour otherwise gas mileage lowers on Hwy but not by much. Excellent buy for commuting.

Enjoyable vehicle for the price.
We have been completely satisfied with this Kia Niro. It has an extremely comfortable ride and gets outstanding mileage, in the fifty mile per gallon range. We enjoy the sound system with it is many options. The automatic heating and cooling system is also a plus.

Great car, only minor issues.
The care has had problems with the steering column and with the battery draining because the hatch didn’t shut. The car gets great mileage and has been good to me. It is comfortable and sporty. The best part is better mileage in the spring and fall, the ac or heat losses gas mileage.

All the luxury without the hefty price tag!
I own a 2019 Kia Niro s touring edition. Highest trim level possible for 2019. Comes with every creature comfort you could want in a luxury car, but with half the cost. Cut my gas bill literally in half, as even without an economical driving style I average almost 50 mpg around Houston! Definitely buying another Niro when this one gets old, except I will be stepping up to the PHEV (plug in hybrid).

Reliable, safe, economic, and family car.
I am leasing Kia Niro hybrid for almost two years now. It is very reliable car, saves on gas. It drives 48 miles per gallon combining freeway and city. It is a great family car. Mini usv great for families of five. It fits three passengers and a cars-it for a baby. You will not be disappointed getting this car.

Our Kia niro. It really shines!
Our Niro is a hybrid and I love the mileage we get. This morning it was 51 mpg! It rides nicely, love the backup camera, has av components for directions, phone, text messaging and a great stereo system. We weren't thinking of our dogs when we bought the car and it is too small for both of them. There's plenty of room for luggage and groceries.

The unexpected joy of owning a hybrid car.
I have had no reliability issues. The vehicle is a hybrid. This is my first hybrid and I must say it truly saves gas. I purchased the car because I wanted to lower my fuel costs. Thus far the car has exceeded expectations. I am very pleased. Hopefully the vehicle will continue to be reliable.

The best hybrid on the market.
I have had literally no problems since I purchased the vehicle back in august 2019. Every single tank, I have gotten over 500 miles, almost 600 miles. There has not been one tank that I have averaged less than 55 miles per gallon. The performance is great, it has a sport mode that really kicks itself into gear when you need it most. The car is comfortable, roomy. I have put 5 people in it, and no one was uncomfortable. I have fit two car seats in the back with no space issues. I have also made many trips to the landfill with the back seats folded down. When the back seats are folded down, you can fit so much stuff back there, it is insane.

MPG is not as advertised!
I owned a 2018 and then a 2019 Kia Niro EX Hybrid. The 2018 got great MPG just as advertised. My 2019 however is not very good at all. MPG is at best 38-39 and at times around 27 MPG. I have had good experiences with the Kia dealers in Illinois but the dealers in Missouri are terrible. The car itself seems pretty much the same but the fuel economy is not anywhere near what it should be. I took it to the dealer in Lees Summit, MO and the tech totally dismissed my mileage issues saying it was functioning as it should. The 2019 does not charge battery to the same level of charge and therefore does not run in electric hardly at all. Loved my 2018 but not my 2019.

Great for my trips to the hardware store.
My Kia Niro handles well and turns better than previous cars. Absolutely live the backup features and turn signal features. The car looks smaller than it is and can carry a lot of stuff. I fold the back seat down frequently to load stuff from the hardware store. I am amazed at the things I get in the car.

Great family car, saves gas, drives long trips without stopping to fuel.
Kia Niro hybrid very safe and reliable car. Great car for family, good for long trips without adding fuel. It is saves on gas, drives 51 mile per gallon combined driving in city and freeway. I have owned it since 2019 and would definitely renew lease with new car of the same model.
Carmen B
on February 24, 2021
It is a great and reliable ride with a lot of comfort and nice features.
It is a four door hybrid SUV with a lot of room inside. The seats are extremely comfortable and it drives beautifully. There is a lot space for luggage, groceries or anything else a person has. There are vent controls for the passenger as well as the driver, so everyone stays comfortable. The mirrors are not as quiet as large as they should be for a vehicle that size, so maneuvering can sometimes be a challenge. Overall however, it is a great vehicle with more pros than cons.

Very happy with the Kia Niro.
It gets fantastic gas mileage. It accelerates very quickly which I was not expecting from a hybrid. I love the look of the interior and when the seats are down there is ample cargo space. It handles very well in snow. I have had no issues with this vehicle and would get another one.

Spacious sporty hatchback car.
Exterior has a slick sporty look with a fresh color scheme. The interior is spacey with plenty of room that can comfortably sit five. The back seat collapse to make room for hauling boxes around etc. It is an modern car with a touch screen monitor on the dashboard that allows you to use GPS, music apps and much more.

Amazing vehicle. Holds value.
I have not experienced any problems with my vehicle. The performance is amazing and is exactly as expected. It is roomy enough for my family of 4. One of which is in a corset. The trunk space is smaller than I would like but the gas mileage it saves over a bigger SUV makes up for it!
Alejandra F
on February 2, 2021
Great smooth ride. Versatile and classy look.
The car is great. Small, but spacious. Tunes trunk space is pretty large. It saves a lot on gas. Mileage is amazing compared to a non hybrid vehicle. I haven't had any problems yet. I love the car and everything about it. It's a smooth ride with great quality.
Nicole T

Fantastic gas mileage; I can get 450-500 on a tank of gas (12 gallon).
This vehicle performs very well! Excellent gas mileage and handles well on the road. In colder weather there tends to be a lag in acceleration, but overall the Niro is great. While it is smaller, it feels roomy and comfortable. Trunk space is very comfortable & I can fit a lot in the back.

The Kia Niro is a great car.
I have owned my Kia Niro for 2 years. It has been a great car. I have had no service problems with it except one recall which was handled very quickly. I love all the safety features it has and the warming and cooling seats! The back up camera is also great and makes parking in tight spaces much easier.

My first hybrid, definitely will not be my last.
This is my first hybrid vehicle to own and I am blown away by how quiet the vehicle is, especially while idle or at low speeds when getting around town. The fuel economy is magnificent, as I typically average around 42-45 mpg from personal experience. There have been no issues whatsoever. I am impressed by this hybrid and would recommend it to others and I will likely consider Kia for my future vehicle purchase.

The Mileage went from 4.5 L/100km to over 6 L/100km
When I got my new Kia Niro L Hybrid it was functioning as it should and even below the 4.5 L/100km. After I got it serviced for the first time I noticed on the way home that the mileage seemed to be higher than it was originally and continues to get higher and higher each day. It seems to be hardly ever in the Electric mode now and always charging the battery, that never gets fully charged and revving up to max when it goes from a stop to resume driving I brought it back to Kia South to have them address the problem and they tested the battery and said it was fine, and then charged me a service fee to look at my 3 month old vehicle. Anyone have any similar issues? I bought it for the fuel mileage, not to have to keep bringing it back and forth to the dealership..... I've recontacted the dealership for answers but have not responding after 3 days of waiting for solution

Kia Niro hybrid performance and reliability.
Kia Niro hybrid is great on gas mileage, handles well and is very comfortable. It also has good response time as well as sport mode which adds to the 'get up and go.' It has so many features it is hard to keep track but you can get all you need in this sporty vehicle.

Start button not working until 12v battery button pushed first
The underbody of this car is barely functional in rural areas. The anti glare makes it undriveable if there are no streetlights. Now the engine start button does not respond overnight. I have been pushing the 12v battery button which starts the car, and then the start button works. If have had the car in the shop three times and after each check up if only works for awhile, this time it wAs checked on feb 6 and on SaturdayFebruary 8 and Sunday I had to activate car by pushing 12 v battery.

A good inexpensive hybrid.
I get really good gas mileage, obviously because its a hybrid. The car is roomier inside than it looks, and the seats are comfortable. I love the smart console for GPS features and playing music. Something I would change is the battery discharge warning. If you are on battery only power, say, listening to music with the car turned off, it beeps constantly even if the battery is full.
Rebecca H
on October 13, 2020
2019 Kia Niro is a fantastic hybrid car.
The only issue we have really seen is the location of the battery, so if you wanted to help. A friend jump their car it's a problem to get to. Otherwise it's an absolutely amazing car to drive, very smooth ride, the gas mileage is incredible. The Bluetooth connection for phones makes it easy to listen to music and podcasts without any issues.

I like everything about it right now I've have not had any trouble so far
Great gas mileage the 10 year warranty highly recommend by jd power consumers reporting agencies large enough to seat 5 people looks and drives like a regular car not an electric or hybrid the price was much lower than the Toyota and it has a regular six speed transmission
Nicole C

I've gotten 52 mpg on the highway and 54 mpg in the city
The performance of this car is amazing. There is a slight jerk from when the car is transferring from the ev mode to gas. But after a day of driving this car, I learned how to control the jerking. The trunk is a lot bigger than it seems. And if I need more space, the back seats fold down flat. The mpg is amazing! On the highway, I average 52 mpg.
Abby K
on August 24, 2020
Consider this hybrid vehicle!
The Kia Niro lx is a really great car at a really great price tag. If doing highway driving, I am able to get 50 miles to the gallon, which saves a lot of money on gas. I usually only have to fill up once a month. The Kia Niro is also equipped with apple CarPlay which is very helpful for driving hands free. I have not had any problems in performance, and have felt that this car has been very safe and reliable.
Harry

"Normal" car with great mileage.
I owned a Prius before and couldn't go back to sub 50 mpg. I decided to look at the Ioniq and the Niro before getting a new Prius. The Niro really impressed me. Easier access and egress, more room in the front and back seats, higher seating position, and better visibility. The interior is nicer. The transmission is not a cvt. The outside is modern and pleasing but not reminiscent of Area 51. I'm getting the same mileage as I got with my 2014 Prius. The only thing left to debate is if it will be stone reliable as the Toyota.

Seems fine and I’m 6’2
We have only driven it about 2100 miles so far due to the virus but so far it is comfortable and the mileage is great. Not a race car but it’s adequate to maintain 80 mph on the freeway

Solid build
I have Touring S. Had it for 1 year and 12k; no problem and MPG between 46-54 per tank. Colder months = less MPG.Harman and Kardon system is very nice for the price point and the OEM Navi and Android Auto works quickly and display is a top notch and much better than our 2016 Lexus. Space and "touch" points are also very good for price point and size of the vehicle. This is the best commuter vehicle I have ever owned.

I love being able to plug my phone into the car and play my music.
There is nothing I can think of that is wrong with tots vehicle. The gas mileage is great and I love the features like apple carplay and Bluetooth. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone. It has lots of space in the back and for my kids in the back seat. I have no complaints regarding this car at all.
Ryan W

Wow what a buy such a great little hybrid.
Great mileage and steering overall, although there can be some lag between switching out of reverse. The Niro has a little over a 10 gallon tank but I can easily get over 500 miles out of it before needing to refill. The vehicle has roomy interior and plenty of storage space.
Milo B

Amazing vehicle, couldn't go without it.
Absolutely amazing product, does everything I want it to, couldn't ask for a better vehicle, I share it with my wife and it is absolutely perfect. Without this car I wouldn't be able to make it to work or really go anywhere, honestly best investment I have made, gas mileage is amazing and drives real smooth, goes over bumps easily.
Madi W
on May 13, 2020
It is a hybrid vehicle which does not need to be plugged in;
There were some initial issues with the transmission and some odd noises and shudders the car would make when stopping. The car is comfortable and has a lot of extra features like warmed seats and a steering wheel. It also had Bluetooth availability. It has a large display screen for the directional navigation that comes with the car itself.

Excellent quality and MPG
Can't ask for more in a commuter car. Averaged 53-55MPG during the summer months and in the winter, i am averaging 47-49. Harmon sound is awesome and seats are comfortable. And Android Auto works perfectly each time and everything seems to work/display quickly on the display including the oem navi system.

Nice, but not my top choice.
Great mileage, nice look, quiet cabin. Slow pick up after stops, especially when getting on a freeway on ramp. Previously owned a Honda accord-miss the roominess of it. Wanted to go from gas to hybrid. Will not keep after lease is up. I miss my full sedan.
Heather B
on April 2, 2020
Easy drive and cost effective.
The Kia Niro is a smooth drive and the gas mileage is fantastic. It costs us less than $20 to fill up the car and can expect to get over 500 miles worth. The car itself is pretty basic and it does not have air vents in the back seat so the temperature can be uncomfortable back there. However, there is plenty of legroom in the back and works well for our child’s rear-facing car seat.
Mike K

Amazing range, feisty torque and civilized ride
I bought the fully electric Niro in early May and am taking it in for its first service interval in late October. No oil change. No coolant check. Just...tire rotation! And the cost of electricity consumed over 12,000km/7,500 miles?? About 120 bucks! Canadian!! Love it so far. And looking forward to seeing how it performs in winter.
DEE S

Love the Kia Niro for its sheer beauty!
This is a gorgeous car. The inside trim, stitching and detail is beautiful. The interior features are intuitive and easy to use. I love the side mirrors that fold in automatically. Some of my favorite features with this car are the lane assist and the apple play.
Cassie S

For the crossover it's the only hybrid its size to get that amazing gas mileage.
Love the mileage and space inside. It's perfect going from a Toyota Yaris being a compact car and sizing up but getting too big. Only downside I have found so far is that everything is so compact in the engine space so even a small fender bender messes a lot up in there. It's like a domino effect.

Kia Niro ex hybrid. Built for comfort and convenience. Reliable and great!
Niro eco hybrid is an amazing vehicle. It is economical and good for the environment. Has lots of interior space and trunk space. Great performance and very reliable. This hybrid basically drives itself. I would recommend to anyone looking for a small to midsize SUV. You will not be disappointed.

Great compact car with ample leg room and terrific gas mileage.

Great mileage out of a great little car.
I really love the great gas mileage I am getting with this vehicle. I have never had a car that got this much mileage. I haven't had this car very long but I am totally loving this car. Lots a room for a small SUV, comfortable, and reliable. Has lane assistance and a backup camera. Overall, a great little car!
Rebecca S

This car has amazing gas mileage!
It is incredibly comfortable, and for a smaller vehicle has a ton of leg room in the backseat. I can fit a car seat behind each seat and still be comfortable and don't lose any leg room in the front. The gas mileage is amazing! And the car was affordable. I have no complaints so far! My biggest worry is that the car is such a new one that problems may arise later.
Cory P

Fuel efficient and fun to drive. Compact yet roomy.
The gas mileage is the biggest benefit of this car. It is compact, but still has a lot of room inside. It is fun and easy to drive and can be sporty if you are willing to sacrifice fuel consumption. I haven't had any issues with the car in the past year that I have owned it.
Heather X

Great price, great mileage, great car.
Excellent car. I really like it and it drives great. Just wish it had power seats as well as heated and cooling seats. The features are minimal with this model. The miles per gallon are 50 plus. My last hybrid got 40 miles per gallon so the improvement is awesome.

Sport mode in action takes over the road.
There are no issues with my vehicle. The performance is great as long as you put the vehicle in the sport mode. It is very reliable I have not had any issues in this is actually my second Kia. In terms of problems I must say the sensors on the vehicles go off very easily and that can be very annoying. Every time I pull up to a drive-thru the sensor on the left side of the vehicle is going off and it is difficult to hear what the person in the window is saying. Also the vehicle it is not completely and fully electric and automatic which is also another downside.

Fuel efficient and affordable.
Fuel efficient, user friendly, eco-friendly, easy riding, efficiently rated up to 52 mpg practically for crossover. It is very personal use who are more concerned about the fuel efficiency. And also consider the budget. It is highly manageable. It is affordable for hard earned income.

Gas mileage is great, 0-60 mph not as good.
Love it. Does great on gas. Does not do as well at higher speeds with gas mileage. Does not speed up very fast but not an issue for me. Very comfortable with a lot of extra space. New car for me. More expensive but again great gas mileage so that offsets the price a bit.
Patricia T

Great for travel. Efficient and comfortable.
The only issue I have with the car is that I do not have navigation. The car is very comfortable for traveling, which was a factor when I purchased it. I have owned Kia before and loved it. I do have satellite radio which is great. I do not have to struggle to find stations I like when traveling.
Amy L

Smooth acceleration,gas mileage.
I don't really have any complaints, there's plenty of legroom. Acceleration is smooth and the car just feels safe in general. I would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a new vehicle. Gas mileage is amazing, sometimes I can get as high as 30 miles to the gallon.
Nicole D
on December 29, 2018
Best car I have ever had! Great space and reliable car!
We love how much mileage we can get out of $10 in the tank! It is still comfortable to sit in the back even with a car seat in the middle, and even though I am tall, I have plenty of room. It drives great, like Kias do, and has virtually no sound while driving. There is minimal engine sound at startup. You have to give it gas slowly and gradually, but once you're doing it can drive well at high speeds.
Steven R
on December 6, 2018
Great value and economy in a nice looking package.
It gets excellent gas mileage, is comfortable and fairly quiet. It has cross traffic alert and blind spot monitoring as well as power driver seat and dual zone a/c. The dual clutch transmission is ok but a normal automatic transmission with 7-9 gears would be better in my opinion.
Mark C
on November 10, 2018
The lane assist is great and having the apple car play in the car.
Car runs great. I get around 46 - 51 miles to the gallon depending on how much I run ac and other electronics. The power is good but can be sluggish at times. If you have a lot of hills it can kill your mpg. When I am doing more hills my rating will be closer to 39 - 45 mpg.

Kia Niro: Feel Good About Driving
So far I have not had any problems with my car except one picky problem of not loving the material of the seats. I love that this car is a hybrid because I can save so much money on gas (gas mileage is about 50 mi per gallon) and I can feel good about my carbon footprint being reduced. Unlike other hybrids, it does not require being charged so it is perfect if you do not have a garage to park in. The Niro drives quite smoothly and is the perfect size (compact SUV) for me. I have had it for only a few months but have had no problems with any parts of the car. The sound system is great which was important to me. The radio is Bluetooth and connects easily. If you're particular about color, it comes in a variety of colors from the classic black and white to a deep red and a very cool blue that I haven't seen on other cars before, I like that my deep blue car stands out from gray and white cars. It turns well and I have had no problems with steering.
