- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- There are not too many cars on the road today that are truly unique, but you could make an argument that the Kia Niro is one of them. Part wagon, part SUV; with powertrain choices that range from hybrid, to PHEV, and even full electric. Let's see what else we can learn about this all-new 2nd generation Kia Niro!

MotorWeek, PBS' award-winning weekly automotive magazine provides unbiased, consumer-oriented car news with feature stories on related topics.
Amazing that when Motorweek debuted, this 0-60 time would have been sports car fast, and now it’s one of the slower models.
It is a kia they are all junk
Over 40 years of development has done a lot for the automobile.A 1982 anymobile would of been a big step up from a 1941 vehicle also.Constant improvement
Just bought this car in ex touring and I love it. Mpg is in the 50s.
I like the people complaining about how slow they are. They just don't get it, they expect a high H.P. car that will get 55 MPG!!
2:05 0 to 60 in 9.2 seconds sound slow but it's .8 second faster than a 99 4x4 Tahoe with a 255 hp 5.7 v8.
I just bought a new 2023 Niro & it gets 55 MPG, I had a 2019 Niro & the best I got with it was 52 MPG
That engine sounds... 😬
Honestly it looks good. Like a higher sitting station wagon. I love the sage green color too.
3 tons of annual co2 means
@Brian Lee probably because NO ONE wants JUNK
Don’t worry China makes up for the emissions this doesn’t produce
@@allentoyokawa9068You think this NIRO is junk?
I have the Hybrid on order here in the UK, delivery is 6 - 9 months. For our clogged up roads 139bhp is just fine.
FYI I tried ordering one a few weeks ago and on the Kia Aebsite I was going to look at specs etc and there’s a note still to this day on top saying due to high customer demand hybrid ordering is on hold until further notice so I went with the Niro 2 Ev 👍
I've had four KIA's and loved them all.
EXCEPT that with the 2023 Niro EX, the door button on the driver's side does not work consistently. It is frustrating as hell constantly pressing the button over and over.
I took it to the dealer 3x and they really gave me the run around and lectured me it was my fault--knowing damn well this is a known problem since at least 2017.
Basically, KIA refuses to support the dealership with this issue. This leads me to wonder what else is instore.
Aside from that I've been very, very, happy with all my KIA purchases and good quality. So far.
The Niro has one advantage over the Prius - you can readily get one without dealer markup and even a discount at times. With the Toyota you're almost always going to pay over MSRP.
...your testers must have a lead foot...we have been average around 50 mpg in this since we got it. We also got better MPG in our Escape Hybrid and our MachE that you guys did...
Look mommy they forgot to paint part of our new car!
"aeroblades"? These blackout panel ideas are something to get accustomed to. The electric Subaru face looks like a raccoon mask, and on this Kia, that panel looks like a cross between 2001 space odyssey monoliths and a starsky & hutch graphic.
Aftermarket companies, listen up, if you repro this Kia panel in a whole series of new textures, colors, prints, etc, you won't be sorry.
You can get them in 1 solid color, I just bought 1 & its all black & not flat black like the 2 tones. I don't like the ones that have the stripe on them.
My wife and I were thinking about the regular hybrid, but the power is just so low. And when you're running on just the gas engine, HP drops even further to like 119 or something. It's just not enough. Plus, that ain't cheap.
Well you either want gas mileage or not ? You can only legally drive 70 unless you live in some western states or Texas! I drove my 2019 Niro thru Texas at 105 MPH to keep up with traffic with no problem.
Well something that I noticed. Tester vehicle and one of the 2 fog lights is not working. The left one, the right one is on.
I thought that too, but I think it’s just the way the sun is shining on the passenger side of the car.
Kia could replace the Niro EV with the EV4 crossover since the South Korean brand may consider applying the EV# nomenclature to its EVs with such examples as the compact EV6 and 3-row EV9 SUVs.
those front seats remind me of E.T. ....
That engine sounds like rusty fan blades
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video this vehicle here is on back order for 6 months according to certain dealers
Do you think the line up would be spoiled with an eAWD (front biased).
I would be willing to sacrifice a little acceleration and cargo space for an AWD option (but I still want a space saving spare tyre)
The rear of the new Niro looks more like that of the outgoing GMC Terrain
I plan to buy the HEV version this fall, it looks way better than the corolla xross and gets way better gas mileage, add to that its not a CVT and its a winner!
Exterior styling kind of seems like something that would come out of France
The Niro is slick looking, but I don't see very many of them😅 on the road and wait till the new Prius comes out. Competition is good.
Surprised Motor week gave a positive review to something other than a BMW or Benz.
It's distressing that most new vehicles have this "mini SUV/hatchback" form factor. I understand it's done due to cost (manufacturers want to save on tooling and develop all their vehicles from as few platforms as possible) but it makes every 3 of 5 vehicles on the road look the same - boring. If you want a true sedan (with a real trunk) you have to get a German luxury vehicle (which I don't mind, but still...).
Removing of beauty is part of the WEF agenda
That's a good looking vehicle. Funny how bad kia used to be. And now they are pretty awesome.
0:38 "the all-new 2023 Kia Niro..."
0:58 "...this standard hybrid showcase is the same 1.6-liter I4 engine as before" 🤣
Cabinocity 2.0
It looks more like a wagon than cuv
Reliability?
It's a 2023 model year in a video from 2023. Probably won't know about any quirks.
Congratulations; you made it through the entire review without having the engine replaced or the car stolen
That was older models years
Alright, listen. As a former Rondo owner (who currently owns a Niro) you simply cannot blaspheme the memory of the Rondo by trotting out “cabinosity” to describe the new Niro’s cabin. It just ain’t got it.

😂😂😂
Throw away car
Yup!
still being the same idiot you always are
Nope its a fantastic car.
First, again. 😊
Hybrid, safer and better choice
If it was a Toyota the gold standard of Hybrid systems in the automotive industry a point of view from a technician.
The minute they played that cheesey music in the background that's on EVERY FRIGGIN TIKTOK video that doesn't want to pay a license to some artist. I hit stop, dislike, and typed this comment.
I LOVE Kia and Hyundai. Like all car companies, they have issues but they if not yet, will certainly be the best and most reliable soon! I really think they already are!
They were 2nd According To KBB
Niro is a zero.
