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 equipmentMid-level 3 trim comes with everything most buyers will want – even heated front seats and wireless phone-charging. Plus, it's the cheapest version of the Niro EV to get a 10.25in touchscreen infotainment system rather than an 8.0in one.
The engine
See full engine specsExpect impressive efficiency, especially around town, but adequate rather than blistering acceleration – 0-60mph takes 10.4sec. It’s quick enough for everyday use, but still slower than many other alternatives in the family SUV and hybrid class.
