You'll be able to find the Kia Niro as a traditional hybrid, plugin hybrid or fully electric vehicle. The Niro is loaded with typical safety features that you'll find in most Kia vehicles including Lane Keep Assist, Lane Centre Assist and Smart Cruise Control.
On the inside you'll find heated 1st row seats, with an available 1st row cooled seat in some trims, a wireless charge pad and sunroof. Most trim levels of the Niro in the HEV, PHEV and EV feature a 10.25" media screen that includes factory navigation and support for wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay!
In this video you're going to learn everything you need to know about the Kia Niro EV. I cover off interior and exterior features, available electric range, charge times, available and optional technology and more.

This is a great video - very detailed. I wish someone could do a detailed video on all the available voice commands. We can't find a detailed list anywhere for our 2024 Niro Wind+. Even a KIA Canada rep didn't know there were several commands for climate control!

Hi, great video, does the car hook up to wifi or how does it get traffic info? I just picked up a 2020 Niro EV, I plan on installing 240, can I buy any Level 2 charger, I live in CA? Thanks Patrick

@CarsWithSteve 24 күн бұрын

Thanks! I believe that Kia traffic is pulled in from SiriusXM, so without an active subscription you won't get that info. As for the charger, you're ok to pick up pretty much an level 2! Your car won't draw in more power than it's capable of when you charge

great video, I really want the Niro as my next EV. It's interesting to see how much Hyundai and Kia is reusing older user interface stuff, my Ioniq EV has about 75% of the settings available in the new Kia.

@@CarsWithSteve It's been 1½ years with the Ioniq and I am still loving it and the incredible economy while driving in silence and luxury! It is a true gamechanger, I don't think anyone returns to ICE cars after driving an EV

@CarsWithSteve 6 ай бұрын

Always good to hear when people are loving their rides. Have you run into any issues with range? I'm always road tripping and that's the main reason why I haven't looked at an EV as my next ride

@EnmandsBand1 6 ай бұрын

@@CarsWithSteve yeah, that is an issue! I did a number of road trips last year - on my motorbike! Next year I am planning several trips (Germany/Sweden) and I will have to decide between using the Ioniq with 200 km range OR getting a newer EV with more range OR rent a van

@CarsWithSteve 6 ай бұрын

Yeah that makes sense. My trips are usually 1,000km + so the idea of having to stop for an hour at a time to recharge sounds daunting. The EU trip on the bike must have been a blast. Any autobahn driving?

Probably going with the PHEV version, but wish the SX Touring also included Head-up Display like the U.S. Wave trim. Everything else in the Wave is the same with the SX Touring PHEV Niro. Now, if I can get a better Lease Deal with full EV over PHEV, then I would get the EV instead. Either way, I will have to get an electrician to install a Level 2 charger (57 hours to charge with a Level 1!?!?). By leasing again, I'll get the U.S. federal tax credit off the MSRP and my local utility will reimburse me for getting a Level 2 charger installed. Best part? If I set up the charging to occur between 6 am to 10 am (give or take), I'll be charging up with 100% green energy from my solar roof panels. Assuming it's a sunny or cloudy bright day. 🙂

It's odd how Kia doesn't have the same spec models across North America like other brands. That's something I'd like to see in future models for sure. The home charging station is a great idea, especially if you drive often. I had the Genesis GV70 EV for a week and found I had some range anxiety travelling 40-50km/day until I found a charging station by my gym. Level 1 can be brutal but useful if you won't drive often. Exciting about the home solar setup. What brand did you go with for yours for panels/storage?

One of the worst EV vehicle, it is having compatibility issues while charging, I have tried at least 10 different places like EVgo, Electrify America, Chargepoint and other companies from 9.30 am to 2.30 pm, finally I was able to use Shell EV charging station to charge this vehicle. Kia Niro EV made the Charging machine to go into rebooting mode and finally it says, the charger machine is unavailable. Because of this we lost our flight. Never ever buy Kia Niro EV vehicle.

@CarsWithSteve 2 ай бұрын

Have you tried changing the rate of charge to something lower in your EV settings? I've been in different EVs the last few weeks and have found issues with a bunch of public charging stations including wires cut, no power draw, no clip to complete the connection and some just straight up didn't work. It's been like that with different manufacturers.. tough to blame the car when it could be the charging network in your area

@amar2262 2 ай бұрын

@@CarsWithSteve Thanks for replying, that is what happened when I finally used Shell charging station, which is 35 kw, where as Electrify America is 350 kw and 150 kw, and EVgo don't know because the charging station displayed some information which we cannot understand like internal error messages. Either way Kia has to manufacture keeping all the Charging machines in the mind, where as all other EV cars like Hyundai, 2023 Kia Niro, Tesla are able charge at Electrify America, except 2024 KIA Niro.

@CarsWithSteve 2 ай бұрын

EVs should have the flexibility to charge anywhere but blame does fall on the charge stations as well.. Inside of the infotainment system there's a setting to lower the rate of charge. The option is there for owners in situations exactly like this where there's an issue with charging currents...
