Pros	Cons

Roomy interior and a big boot	Interior starting to look dated

Quick Summary

The Kia e-Niro (2019-2021) is a front-wheel drive family hatchback with SUV-inspired styling that delivers exceptional value as a used electric vehicle. Available with either a 64kWh or 39kWh battery, it offers impressive real-world range of up to 250 miles or 150 miles respectively, making it one of the longest-range EVs on the market. The e-Niro achieves around four miles per kilowatt-hour, outperforming rivals like the Nissan Leaf, and charges from a home wallbox in under 10 hours for the larger battery. With a spacious 451-litre boot, comfortable interior, and well-thought-out cabin design, it's a genuinely practical family car that's a pleasure to live with.

The 204bhp 64kWh version accelerates from 0-62mph in 7.5 seconds and delivers thrilling performance, whilst the more affordable 136bhp 39kWh model offers easier driving characteristics and improved agility. Both versions feature smooth regenerative braking, predictable steering, and outstanding refinement. The 2020 facelift introduced a redesigned dashboard and improved equipment levels across three trim grades. Running costs are excellent, with efficient energy consumption and the option to charge during cheaper overnight tariffs via the car's app. A heat pump is available on higher trims, minimising winter range loss.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a practical, long-range electric family car with excellent driving dynamics and low running costs.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising striking design or wanting the latest interior technology, or buyers requiring the absolute shortest charging times.
