Kia Niro EV (2022-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Impressive efficency and decent electric range	Reasonable value for money, but not the bargain Kias once were
A practical family car despite compact dimensions	Bold styling might not be to all tastes
Long warranty	Only one choice of power output

Quick Summary

The Kia Niro EV (2022-present) is an evolutionary successor to the popular e-Niro, retaining its 64.8kWh battery and front-mounted electric motor to deliver a WLTP combined range of 285 miles. Built on a new 'K3' platform, it features a more blocky, upright SUV-style design, a significant departure from its predecessor's bland looks, aiming for a more purposeful and interesting aesthetic.

Practicality is enhanced with a 20-litre 'frunk' and a larger 475-litre boot, offering good space for a family car. The driving experience is pleasant and assured, with 201bhp and a comfortable ride, complemented by an excellent regenerative braking system. Running costs are low, with an average real-world range of 240 miles costing around 7.6p per mile. While higher trims can be pricey, the mid-spec '3' offers strong value with twin 10.25-inch infotainment, making the Niro EV a competitive benchmark in the family EV class.

Best for: Drivers seeking a practical, roomy, and efficient electric family car with a good range, advanced technology, and a comfortable ride.

Not ideal for: Buyers on a strict budget for higher-spec models, those who prefer more traditional styling, or drivers looking for highly involving steering feedback.
