Quick Summary

The Kia Niro EV (2022-present) is an evolutionary electric hatchback, succeeding the popular e-Niro. It retains a 64.8kWh battery and 201bhp motor, delivering a WLTP range of 285 miles. This generation boasts a more distinctive, blockier SUV-style design and significantly improved practicality, including a 475-litre boot and a 20-litre 'frunk', alongside enhanced interior space and quality.

Driving is assured and comfortable, making it relaxing for various journeys, though not overtly sporty. Running costs are notably low, with an estimated 7.6p per mile for charging. While higher trim levels push the price into contention with larger EVs, the Niro EV offers excellent efficiency and sophisticated regenerative braking, establishing it as a benchmark in the family electric vehicle segment.

Best for: Families needing a roomy yet compact EV, buyers prioritising efficiency and range, and those seeking advanced tech and convenience.

Not ideal for: Buyers on a strict budget for higher trims, those who prefer less assertive styling, or those looking for a more involving driving experience.
