drive a RIO 2013 with 90000km and no failure at all. best car i owned since 25years. dont regret one second the change from VW to the asian car with a ot of warranty time ! But i swear a BMW X2 is much better in handling and performance than this heavy 1450kg underpowered car ;-) It´s Hyundai brother Ioniq with the same powerplant does much better in acceleratiom, top speed and fuel economy only due to less weight; it´s not a fat SUV. Im excited how they will sell in germany because on autobahn we drive faster than 120km/h and over that its engine works to hard with the weight. Transmission has "only" 6speeds which is more pleasant to drive as a CVT. But a 8speed would improve the fuel economy by a good margin and reduse rpm´s at autobahn speeds; KIA should go with a 8speed ! And for the name....the first i heard "Niro" i thought about the Dodge Niro which is a robust all terrain car like a jeep with less comfort and AWD truck axle. I dont know why they choose that name; especially in USA where DODGE is very common the people will instantly think about a AWD crossover or SUV....but not a underpowered Hybrid.
The Niro is a good name and falls in line with the rest of the Kia family. Very interested but would like to see it as a plug-in to get those extra miles. A great start for the millennials.
Nou casper ik ga elk weekend met mn 2 serie nordic walken hoor 😂. Maar ok leuk dat je er een grapje doorheen gooit maar kom er niet zo vaak op terug. Word een beetje afgezaagd en saai zo. Verder prima review.
KIA explains Niro name, as sort of cool reminisce of sounds "Zilch", "Null", "Zero" in various languages to highlight its low emission due to usage of hybrid powertrain.
Matti Leinonen I just saw both at a motor show. The CHR was disappointing - it's full of hard plastics, very tight in the back seats, no rear aircon vents and the high windows makes the back row passengers feel claustrophobic. The Niro is so much better on every count.
Ha,ha,ha, nee ik ga absoluut niet Nordic Walking in het weekend. Tot je 50ste denk je dat je nog alles kan, tot dat de 50 nadert en net als een occasion, zijn er puntjes van aandacht, bij de mens meestal in stijver worden, dus de hoge instap komt dan in de picture. De Niro zit tussen de compacte crossover en de hatchback in. Prijzen doen rond de 26.000 heb ik al gehoord en zijn broertje de Hyundai IONIC deelt de hybride aandrijflijn, maar dan in nog 2 andere opties en is goedkoper (22.000). Grote plus van deze halve crossover is de 1300 kg geremd trekgewicht. Nadeel is dat de hybride toevoeging geen spetterende cijfers heeft in zuinigheid opleverd, wat bij de IONIC wel is, maar ja hogere bomen vangen meer wind wat voor veel midi MPV en compacte crossovers ook geld.
One vote down, nothing was said about how it drives. Bladi-bladi-bla and how does it drive, guys? Dull, smart, slow, stable, corners, braking, aceleration, steering - helllo?
He must have really push the car. No matter what you drive, if you hammer the accelerator, you will get poor efficiency. Other reviewer on RUclips achieved 4.4L/100 km combined fuel efficiency with Niro. Also, test car's 18 inch wheel probably did not help the efficiency.
Are you looking to keep the gas taxes in your pocket or you looking for an adrenolene rush. Can't have both...oh wait...yes you can...it called a Tesla...lol.
Its the closed language to English. I had a english friend of mine come over to the netherlands for a few weeks and after 2 weeks or so he kind of understood what we said. He couldnt talk it himself but he kind of understood the subjects.
Short answer about the name:
Niro - Near Zero (Emissions)
Goeie review, Casper! Fraaie kar ook. Kia is geen merk (meer) om je voor te schamen wanneer je op zoekt bent naar een degelijke daily.

5:20 Een Golf GTE is een plug -in hybride, de Niro een normale Hybride. Verklaart lijkt me dat de Golf zwaarder aanvoelt (veel meer accu's).
The Niro is a good name and falls in line with the rest of the Kia family. Very interested but would like to see it as a plug-in to get those extra miles. A great start for the millennials.
Plug-in Niro will be available towards the end of this year.
I like it very much!
In the mean time , I am sticking with my Kia Sportage 2016 2.0 turbo diesel 4 wd 185 Horses .Maybe later a Hybrid .
Die Golf GTE is een plug-in hybride, dus die heeft waarschijnlijk een veel hoger gewicht aan accu's aan boord, maar dat terzijde.

Why is sub with white background and white letters as well?
Waar blijft de Alfa Guilia autoblog??

willen jullie pls de e klasse coupe uit rondom 2009 doen?
Als je plat op de grond gaat liggen voor de auto, schuin naar boven kijkt en met je ogen knijpt is het net een Porsche Cayenne.
Om nou 'toekomstige' Niro-rijders met nordic walkers te vergelijken vindt ik nogal een vooroordeel hoor...
@autoblog when does it release?
It looks European because former Audi designer Peter Schreyer designs for Kia now...
What color is it? Seems there are 2 differents ones
casper meyer, my bet is Cerulean Blue, the Gravity Blue is really dark.
Prius and 2 series? They're comparable?
Similarly-priced ugly dull automotive family blobs
I'd rather be seen in this some boring pocket protector wearing Prius.
doe aub de e klasse coupe uit 2009
doe de e klasse coupe uit 2009 pls
Toyota C-HR is coming end of this year... that's the rival.

That is your choice, i get C-HR hybrid with leather interior next month...
You have the potential for a car buyer reviewer.
Thanks!
wel mooi

8,8 liter op 100 km??

8.8l /100km! MY X5 40d gets 8.5!

On the highway with 2000 rpm ?)

goede video!
vindt het eigenlijk wel een mooie auto. volwasse auto van kia. en zeker mooier als die lelijke bmw
This car is unacceptably slow to 100kmh and has a ridiculously low top speed of 160kmh, yet it has Michelin Pilot Sport tyres? WTF????
Was fur eine Sprache ist das? Ich verstehe manche Worter auf Deutsch, aber bei Weitem nicht alle. Das Auto scheint ziemlich gut zu sein.
Niederländisch

lol nordic walking edition
؟ what language is this
This is the only language that I cannot understand at all. I want to learn, but this language is so different and complicated.
turn on CC! It's transcribed clearly.
Its the closed language to English. I had a english friend of mine come over to the netherlands for a few weeks and after 2 weeks or so he kind of understood what we said. He couldnt talk it himself but he kind of understood the subjects.
