thanks Peter, very informative. the car looks great! its really good that Kia has updated 2020 with LED lights everywhere.

Great video. Timely now in 2024 as these 2020 models are now showing up as used vehicles. Good to see a reminder of the updated interior between the 2019 and 2020 model years.

We have an EV but love the no-range anxiety of a plug-in hybrid for our 2nd car and the Niro is sexy. Nice job.

In February, I bought my first hybrid, the Niro SX Touring, love the car. My dealer steered me away from the PHEV. He did order in the hybrid for me in the graphite color that I wanted. Drives great. In normal (eco) mode it feels like a bit of lag when you hit the pedal, which might be due to the dual clutch. When I move the gear shifter over to sport mode, it takes off quick.

Good review, just a question not needing a Level 2 charger. How long does the charge take using Level 1? compared to Level 2? Also, do the back seats fold down?

I order mine in July 30th, (in Quebec) ready to wait for 3-4 months warn by the Director of sales, Well, the 4th of August they old me I will get my car the August 11th! 😃 Yessss! That’s fast! 👍🏼

Thank you for the review! I wish you guys were in Metro Vancouver Area. Haha.

when you order a niro phev how long does it take and where does it come from? Vancouver or some USA port? kendoll hamilton ON

This has been a informative video on this. While I'm in Ohio, I have been looking at this car, and plan on purchasing it, but I'm waiting 6 months (given current world circumstances).

Im looking at the PHEV here in EU and the two trim levels I am considering are 1700 apart and the differences are a couple, one being the keyless entry which I would like, the other extra features I do not care for, would you say its worth to consider anyway Peter? Also; does the key version PHEV Niro also have the UVO app remote start or is that also a feature lost then?

Really like your videos.

I just want this car

Hi, great job on the video. I have two question about this PHEV. In the city, there is usually a combination of highway (401, 7) and street driving. Can you comment on how does this car perform on the highway in EV mode? Specifically, how does driving at 100-120km/hr reduce the range and what kind of power can you expect at highway speeds? I also have a question if the EV range of the vehicle is severely reduced during winter time. Thank in advance!

It was funny when you said we’re not allowed to call them wagons anymore. That’s what these are slightly lifted wagons and that’s a good thing..

Thank you.

Do the Canadian 2020 Niro PHEVs come with the regenerative braking paddle shifter controls?

Hey could you talk about mechanicaly, suspension set up, maintenance, brakes. maybe a look underneath. how about taking car camping to harrison ?

Do you think Ont. will return the incentives on EV and PHEVs?

Does the top model have an electric trunk like the Ceed? It's doesn't look like this one has it.

Does Kia have an app to set the car to cool without starting the engine? Basically, does it have an electric compressor for the a/c so the car can be cooled while plugged in.
