Quick Summary

The Kia e-Niro (2019-2021) is a front-wheel drive family hatchback with SUV styling that delivers exceptional value as a used electric vehicle. Available with either a 64kWh or 39kWh battery, it offers real-world range of up to 250 miles or 150 miles respectively, making it one of the longest-range EVs on the market. The larger battery achieves an impressive four miles per kilowatt-hour, outperforming rivals like the Nissan Leaf and Volkswagen ID.3. Charging is convenient, with the 64kWh model reaching 80% charge in under 40 minutes via rapid charging, or less than 10 hours via a home wallbox.

The e-Niro excels in practicality with a spacious 451-litre boot, comfortable seating for five, and abundant storage solutions throughout the cabin. Its 204bhp version accelerates from 0-62mph in 7.5 seconds, whilst the more affordable 136bhp model offers a more manageable 9.5 seconds. The cabin is well-designed with an eight or 10.25-inch touchscreen featuring satnav, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Running costs are impressively low, with the ability to set charging times via the car's app to take advantage of cheaper overnight tariffs. A facelift in 2020 introduced improved trim levels and optional features including a heat pump for enhanced winter efficiency.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking an affordable, long-range electric family car, those prioritising practicality and comfort, and drivers wanting excellent value in the used EV market.

Not ideal for: Buyers seeking premium styling or cutting-edge interior design, those requiring the shortest possible service intervals, or those unwilling to invest in home charging infrastructure.
