The model
Read full Kia Niro reviewThis second-generation Kia Niro Hybrid shows a lot of promise. It's competitively priced, generously equipped, spacious inside and economical on fuel. The PHEV model rides a little firmer and is more expensive to buy outright, but its reduced running costs and ability to travel for longer on electric power mean it’s definitely still worth considering.
The trim
See full equipmentDon’t immediately rule out this entry-level trim – it comes with dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and adaptive cruise control, so it's well worth considering if you’re looking for maximum value. Just bear in mind that you get a smaller infotainment screen than with pricier models.
The engine
See full engine specsAll versions of the Niro EV have a single 201bhp electric motor, which drives the front wheels and is fed by a 64.8kWh (usable capacity) battery. Acceleration is sprightly and a range of 250 miles on a charge is realistic as long as you drive gently and the weather is mild.
