- Today, we have 2022 all new Kia Niro for our Car Review. Last time at the Seoul Motor Show, we only showed you the exterior design of the Kia Niro, because it was locked. But today, we get to tell you how this all-new Kia Niro drives and also what it looks like under the sunlight. I know some of you guys really don’t like the contrasting C-pillar, so we will also show you what this new Kia hybrid SUV looks like outside. So, without any further due, let’s start the show right now.

This is our 1st drive with the all new Kia Niro. Please smash the "LIKE BUTTON" if you are a Kia Niro fan, if not, let me know which one is your favorite hybrid SUV in the comment section! Thank you.
Beautiful interior. The exterior is so much better than the previous gen as well. Overall a great improvement from the previous gen in all aspects.
Yes, Haru Haru. The all new Kia Niro is big step forward. Thank you for enjoying our review.
Well, not so convinced about that C-pillar 😅
Im relieved you can get a matching C pillar. The contrasting one would be a dealbreaker for me. Im anxious to compare this to the Toyota Corolla Cross hybrid when they both come to the USA.
Yes, we are given choice. Nice. Thank you for enjoying the all new Kia Niro review.
I was going to buy a corolla cross hybrid, I live in Australia, had my name down for one and a deposit paid I currently own a Corolla hybrid ZR and the corolla cross does not give you all the features my corolla has. This Niro has a lot more features then my Corolla ZR 21 model. I am purchasing this car, I love cars learn heaps about them the kia Niro IMHO is the better car then the corolla cross. I wanted to buy the Atmos model in the green color but they said no can buy the GXL I did not want the GXL why would I trade my car for a car with less features. This car the Niro Hybrid GT does have much more to offer
Happy New Year Charlie, thank you so much for showing us the new Kia Niro. I must say the suspension sounds quite crashy and loud? I like the dual use paddles and how it recognises green zones.
Happy New Year Hank. Well, suspension for the all new Kia Niro isn't too harsh. Yes, I do love the dual function of paddle shifters. Thanks.
Excellent video 🚘 Thanks so much for sharing 🙌🙌
Thank you Ada for enjoying our 1st drive with the all new Kia Niro.
it really pleasure to ear your review keep up the great work
Thank you Jacky for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.
The Niro PHEV is very popular here in Sweden. I never liked the design of the previous version but this…wow, so much better both exterior and interior. The back end design is a little ”Volvoish” in a good way. I almost want one for myself and Im a Mercedes guy…
Yes, Now, Kia Niro is not ugly anymore. LOL. Thanks.
Very nice review of all the features and performance
Every feature that you pointed out is controversial to others is a feature that I love and think gives the vehicle a great personality and appeal. Thanks for your review. Looking forward to future coverage.
Yes, hope to give you more in-depth review of this all new Kia Niro when we get it as a press car. Thanks.
Thanks Charlie from this video.
I like the dashboard of the new 2022 Kia Niro dashboard. Black background frame.👍🏼😉
yes, the new Kia niro has so much better and feeling interior compared to the previous model. Thanks Henrik.
Truly considering this car as my next purchase (when it comes to EU). Waiting for the Plug-in version for that "free" EV miles travel and more power.
Yes, Gabriel. This all new Kia Niro is larger, but lighter and more efficient. Thanks.
thanks for the review of my future car! Can't wait to test drive it in a year or so
Welcome. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review!
It looks better than before. I will wait for the BEV model to come out before considering it. Thanks for the video.
Welcome Robert. Yes, this all new Kia Niro is a big step forward for Kia. Thanks Robert!
As always.... amazing content...big like
Thank you NewBreed2205 for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.
Body color matching is my choice too!
Me, too. Thank you Alberto for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.
I prefer color marching.
Very useful review.
Thank you!
Me, too lulian. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.
Looks to be a nice car Charlie. I prefer the colour matched C pillar, but I do not like the rear indicators being positioned so low, but this is Kia style.
Yes, me, too, Ken. But if you want something special, you can get it with contrasting C-pillar. Thanks for enjoying the 1st drive with the all new Kia Niro.
Great Review Charlie. I like this new interior and front design. I am not feeling the rear end design but I guess it will grow on me.
yes, I do like the new Kia niro design whole lot better. Thanks.
thanks for the presentation Charlie.
Welcome Alen. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.
Very handsome exterior especially withe body colour C pillar. On the all white model I liked the way the rear lights are highlighted on the side profile. Great looking interior and I'm glad they integrated the infotainment into the complete dashboard. I also like that thick padded steering wheel. Looks really comfortable. Also glad they didn't make a tiny engine to the hybrid system
Yes, Bill. i like the white one. Thank you for enjoying the Kia Niro review.
Incredible video!! Thank you so much!🔥🎉❤️
Thank you Jimmy for enjoying our 1st drive with all new Kia Niro!
Thank you for showing the other models with the matching c-pillar color. It makes the car look much better than the contrasting ones. That white one with the matching c-pillar doesn't look bad at all.
Yes, I really wanted to show you both the body color matching and contrasting c-pillar. Thank you seinorbaka for enjoying the Kia Niro review.
Very nice car. It will be on the shopping list when it arrives on my shore. I don't mind the new design of the rear pillar but it has to be the original colour.
Yes, hope you guys get this all new Kia Niro soon in your area! Thanks. Kirby
I love the size and room of my 2006 Kia spectra 5 but probably need an upgrade soon. I like the look and tech of this new Niro and just little bit larger than the spectra 5, hopefully its not too expensive on pricing when it comes to the US.
Yes, hope you guys get this 2nd generation all new Kia Niro soon in N. America. Thanks Gerald.
i like it too much waiting for the EV niro great job
hello from Germany
good presentation, i like it. Like your first presentation of the new Niro at the Seoul Motor Show.
Gives a good idea of the new car that here in Europe no one has seen yet.
I personally am interested in the new plugin hybrid. But I think that except for the electric range and maybe trunk space will be no difference to the HEV shown here.
I do have a few questions though:
What is the towing capacity and tongue load of the new Niro?
Nice car, my hottest candidate for a new purchase in 2022.
I like it, looks futuristic, but not too polarizing.
I see Kia is a fan of different angle shapes for their DRLs lately
Yes, Eric. This new Kia Niro looks much better compared to the previous generation. Thanks.
Thank you for taking the time to show us the 2022 Kia Niro. The cockpit/drivers area looks very much like the new Kia EV6. The rear tail lights remind me of those on a Honda CR-V. Overall, I very much like the new look. I may even trade in my Honda Accord for this.
Yes, the interior looks very similar to Kia EV6. Thank you for enjoying the New Kia Niro review.
Love your reviews and we actually leased a 2020 Niro Hybrid Touring SE here based on the first video I watched on you tube which happened to be yours a year or so ago. We love it and like the updates Kia has done to this new model. Do not like the contrast rear panel and also noticed there is no longer a small side window behind the rear doors which looks like it creates more of a blind spot. Can't wait to see them in person, wonder when they are debuting? Cheers
Wow, gad i can be helpful choosing your car. Yes, I would choose the new Kia Niro with the body color matching c-pillar. I am not sure, but hope you guys get this new Kia Niro soon in your area! Thanks rbielarski.
Love your channel and your reviews 😃😃👏🏻👏🏻. Is the hybrid 4 wheel drive ? 😃
Hi Jason. FWD, not AWD for the new Kia Niro. Thank you.
Looks great without the contrasting C-pillar. Looking forward to seeing the BEV version.
Yes, agree. I would take the all new Kia Niro with the body color!
Body color matching for sure!
Yes, Greg me, too. Thank you for enjoying the Kia Niro review.
Looking forward to the EV version later this year hopefully you'll review it in full at that time as well. You should test the lane keep assist similar to Bjorn to find out what happens say if the driver passes out for any reason, does it just switch off which is dangerous or is it smart like Mercedes as Bjorn has just proven on the EQA which keeps the car in the lane and safely and slows the car down. Is the Apple Carplay/Android Auto wireless as Kia said it would be? Is there less piano black in the new facelift edition, hoping so?
Yes, Hope to show you the all new Kia Niro in more detail. But this looks pretty promising.
Is it certain that the Kia Niro will be available as an EV version ? So a new e-niro ?
@@a.b.5884 Yes Kia already confirmed it and will be available a few months after the HEV
Thx for a nice review👈
Welcome. Thank you for enjoying the Kia Niro review.
I am chas
Changing my kia next year from the proceed to either the new sportage or this new Niro...can't wait to test drive both but this video is making me indecisive as I love both cars. Going to be difficult to choose as they are both stunning 😍
Envy you so much for having Kia Proceed. We don't have Proceed here in KOrea. Yes, many are comparing the Kia Sportage against Kia Niro. If you want more power, then you should go with Kia Sportage, better efficiency, then you should go with Kia Niro. Thank you Cuelin!
Really nice interior and looks good in handling as well....
Yes, hope to show you this new Kia Niro when we get it as a press car. Thanks Aehsanur.
Thanks always for showing all these great korean cars. I'm trying to get a Tuscon PHEV but they're all over msrp here in the US. Do you know any places in Orange County/LA with good pricing?
Not sure about dealerships in US. But thanks for enjoying the Kia Niro review.
Nice video, greetings from Mexico
Thank you Antonio for enjoying our 1st drive with the all new Kia Niro!
Hi Charlie. Another great video. I prefer the color match. I wish Kia had more color choices. Also, I don't care for the back signal lamps being low. What trim level was this supposed? Have a great day.
Roger
Hi Roger. This Kia Niro (trim levels are named differently regionall) is fully loaded; the top spec model. Thank you.
Thanks alot Iam really enjoying your video’s
Let me ask you if you don’t mind do we have a full leather because I order one but they told me there no full leather like old Niro?
Yes, I don't think Kia Niro comes with full leather inside.
Great review, many thanks, very impressive hybrid
Thanks Gary. Yes, I really like this new Kia Niro much better compared to the previous model.
@@AsianPetrolhead I'm considering the New Sportage when they are readily available in the UK
Very good videos! Congrats! Regarding the new Niro, I like the dark colors with same colors for C-pilar, but lighter colors as white, I believe looks better in 2 tone. Very disappointed they moved the back camera in a very dirty position. Before you could use a CamWipe, now you cannot :(
Yes, Cosmin. I also like the new Kia Niro with body color matching c-pillar. LOL. Dirty Position. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.,
Thanks for the review of the new Niro! Looking forward to a review of the new NIRO EV!
Yes, we will give u update on the EV as well. thank you for enjoying the Kia Niro review.
@@AsianPetrolhead thanks again! Love the content!
Now I'm debating between this and the new Sportage hybrid. I just wish the Sportage had the HUD as well
I would say with 1.6Turbo Sportage hybrid feels quicker, but this all new Kia Niro is so much more efficient. Thanks.
Another great review Charlie. Does it have ventilated seats available? We live in Texas and they are essential in the summer!!!!
Hi Phil. Yes, the new Kia Niro comes with ventilation seats for the 1st row passengers. Thank you
Nice car I had the old hybrid model very reliable and great quality the brake pads and disk 💿 service at 130 000 miles no joke best car for money. Next for me is Niro full electric red interior yes you can choose the interior color 👍
yes, Kia Niro is efficient and reliable hybrid SUV. Thanks dgl.
Awesome video, thanx for this! Full body colour for me :) 141hp sounds too little but perhaps it's not, it's just me thinking so. Got a manual gasoline 177hp tucson now, it's not slow but far from fast, a totally ok car for me. It will be very interesting to see this in full EV later on, that might be my next car if it's priced ok :) Also cool this one got the headsupdisplay and the new Sportage did not.
I would say this Kia Niro should feel better than Hyundai Tucson, because there's an electric motor giving a nice assist. Thank you Yoda for enjoying the Kia Niro review.
I like this. I like how it looks without the two tone, IMO better than the 1st gen. I wonder if they will make a 2nd gen Ioniq Hybrid on this platform 🤔
Yes, i like it with the body color. Thank you for enjoying the Kia Niro review.
Thanks for the review! 360 camera, hybrid and multi link rear suspension, my next car! Perfect for European roads and traffic!
Yes, this all new Kia Niro comes with multi link at the rear. Thanks. ppc1313.
I don't think it actually has a 360 camera. If you watch this POV video (ruclips.net/video/hW8LdZn_cv8/видео.html), you can see that when the driver puts the car in reverse, the back-up camera pops up on the screen, and when the driver puts it in drive, the screen still shows the back-up camera. Those of us who own Kia/Hyundai products with a 360 camera know that when you select "drive", you get a front camera view on the screen. Also, if you scrutinize all the various walk-around videos, there's no characteristic camera "bump" on the bottom of the side mirrors, nor is there a camera in the front grille. (Granted, they could use the camera in the top of the windscreen, but that wouldn't blend well with a 360 camera system.) All that being said, the walk-around videos do seem to show the presence of front ultrasonic sensors, and the wedges in front of the car on the camera screen hint that it may have front parking sensors.
Edit: Another POV video demonstrates the RSPA function, which also implies a front parking sensor (ruclips.net/video/hbv3Kt2dATw/видео.html).
I'm really enjoying your reviews! Great job!
One quick question for you as an expert: what do you think the battery size / range could be for the pure electric variant? I think Kia won't want to challenge their own EV6 on specs, so I wonder what your thoughts would be on that.
This is a hybrid, so the battery size is really small compared to something like EV6. But since this is hybrid, you don't have to think about range anxiety. So, you should think about according to your life style. Thank you for enjoying the Kia Niro review.
@@AsianPetrolhead I think he meant what you think the battery size and range will be for the 100% EV Niro that's also coming, not this hybrid version :)
I would like to see the contrasting C Pillar as an option in colours... Not just black. So it could look a bit funky.... (orange, red etc). Looking forward to the new eNero.
Yes, I would love to give you update on on the eNiro soon, too. Thank you for enjoying the Kia Niro review.
Hey Charlie, have you ever been asked for a collab with Fully Charged? You'd offer a fantastic Korean insight to the development of EV transportation from a country that is the envy of many around the world! Keep up the great work Charlie! 👍
not yet Adam. But i would love to collab with Fully Charged. They are EV car experts! Thanks for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.
Watching your videos is like visiting the future 😄
LOL. Thank you Casey. Glad i can deliver. Thank you for enjoying the all new Kia Niro review.
Very good video the Kia are fantastic cars, I know I have one.
Yes, Kia Niro is a fantastic car. Thank you.
Looking forward to your review of the new Niro EV
Yes, hope to give you update on the EV model as well. Thank you for enjoying the all new Kia Niro 1st drive.
I just survived a total loss accident in my 2019 Niro. This car Saved my life !!!!! I want another Kia
OMG, are you okay?
YES! I’ve been looking for a super practical small hybrid with a hatch that isn’t a Prius. This is a small suv but close enough for me, especially since I won’t be driving a hybrid very hard. My previous car I had my sights set on was a Toyota Avalon, even if it isn’t super practical with a sedan trunk. Can’t wait for these to be released here in America☺️ (also note: I live in hot climate so ventilated seats are a must too)
Yes, this new Kia Niro is a lot more spacious and easy to see out of compared to Prius. Hope to give you efficiency test soon. Thanks Clayvin.
I think the old design looks much better. Waiting to receive my new ev, around march hopefully. Great review 🙏🏼
Yes, this new Kia Niro looks quite promising. Thank you Adi.
Not tempted to cancel your order and get this new model or the ev6?
It looks nice compared to my 2019 Kia Niro plug in. What I don't like about mine is the hesitation when you accelerate from a stop in electric mode. I hope they improved that. I think I'll wait for the new Sportage which I thinks looks much nicer. I need to replace my 2012. Nice Video Charlie -
Um... I think it is improved, I never directly tested going full EV hard start, but didn't see any problem overall driving this new Kia Niro! Thanks.
I love the 2 spoke steering wheels. They are soo much more comfortable, they let you hold the steering wheel at the bottom easier which is much better for your back and shoulders. I also prefer the look
Yes, Alex. It's not handsome design, but it is really comfortable to use. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.
Yeah there alot more relaxing to just out one or both hands on the bottom on long drives I actually miss it
Will go for either combination or not for the C pillar, both looks good for my eyes 👍
Hi Nelson. Yeah, if you want something more radical, i think you will like the contrasting C-pillar. thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.
@@AsianPetrolhead Yes, can see Kia is introducing something new in most of their cars nowadays and still giving out option to choose and yeah why not..☺️
Love the Contrast C Pillar.... I'll call it the blade
Wow, nice. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.
Did not find a review with the PHEV version. Can you do the same great review on phev. I am intersted with phev that has more horse power.
No PHEV released yet, but when it does, yes, we would love to give review on the new Kia Niro. thanks. Shlomi.
No one does reviews as concise and complete as yourself. My go to channel if I need more info on a car. As for the Niro, it seems like a very good small suv complete with all bells and whistles. However personally, I don't quite like the front and rear light clusters. It would be nice if they can streamline them like the Germans/Audi etc. Never been a fan of the aquarium type front light clusters. The rear bumper styled turn signals / reverse lights are no good too as they are harder to notice by taller vehicles moreover, prone to quick damage in an accident. Hope, Kia will update its designs in time to come and move away from clunky designs. Other then that car looks nice.
Thank you so much for your support! We will keep it coming. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.
White and body matching color looks the best.
Yes, Richard. My personal choice would be white with the body color matching c-pillar. Thanks for enjoying the Kia Niro review.
It really doesn't have the blind spot monitor in the display like other models of Kia, Hyundai and Genesis? I would have liked them to position the rear turn signals higher up, level with the brake lights. 13:40 Are those LEDs lights optional? Because before I saw conventional turning signal bulbs at the rear.
Yes, it has blind spot alert system, but not monitoring system. But i would say the interior is miles better than the previous model. Thanks Edgar.
It's look like very nice but u never speak about its fuel consumption (around 4l/100km). And i really never unterstand why they put flashers and some lights on the bumper!!! No make sens for me.
Thanks 4 ur vidéo and happy new year Charlie.
Thank you P. Yes, i will check the efficiency when we get this all new Kia Niro as a press car. Yes, love to have the turn signal integrated into taillamp system. Thanks. P.
Overall I like the new look, the steering wheel looked better than from some photos I’d seen. I also like the updated dash and the wheels. The rear tail lights look too low down IMO but other than that…👍.
I hope the sound system is improved, I find it a little too bright and not enough midrange and bass,
I have a Niro HEV 3, so when I come to trade in, I’ll be looking at this in a about 5 years when I can afford a used one.
Yes, turn signal integrated with taillamp would be much better. Thank you for enjoying the all new Kia Niro review.
Hey Is looks better that Sportage I like much more now nice please more more videos from Niro test all engine's lest see with is top stability test corner and sound noise check and white color with body matching
yes, we will give you more in-depth review when we get the Kia Niro as a press car. Thanks.
This is a really sharp design. I like the different colour pillar. Just make the colour close to the main colour. eg dark grey with a dark blue that just a little lighter than the grey.
How does the size of this car compare to the Ioniq 5 Charlie?
I would say Kia Niro has better headroom, but legroom wise IONIQ 5 has better legroom. thank you Kevin for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.
Does the infotainment supports Apple Airplay 2 or do we have to use cable for CarPlay?
You have to use a cable. Thank you for enjoying the Kia Niro review.
Seats? How would you describe the seats? Soft, firm, supportive? I have back issues and need firm and supportive seats. Thanks for the thorough video!
Seats are comfortable. I should say supportive. We went for a long range review with the all new Kia Niro, so check this out, too. ruclips.net/video/L6Gu1KBZh-g/видео.html
Since it sounded an alert and had a visible red alert on the side mirror when the turn indicator was used, it seems that the car DOES have blind spot monitoring. Perhaps it just doesn’t put the alert up on the mirror if the turn indicator isn’t touched, like most cars do.
I suspect that there’s an option in settings to change that.
Well, it does the blind spot alert system, (yellow + sound alert on the side mirror), but it does not have blind spot monitoring system (showing the blind sport image on the gauge cluster). Thank you for enjoying the New Kia Niro review.
11:15 Yes thank you. The reflection is incredibly annoying, I don't understand how could they allow such flaw. I remember doing test drive with Kia XCeed, and the reflection was actually making it difficult to drive that day. Luckily current kia niro has unnoticeable reflection, but yeah on the new niro that's something very serious to consider...
Yes, it's not too bothersome. But depending on the angle, you can really see them being reflecting. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.
Nice review here! What song are you using for the brief audio test?
I just used copy right songs from RUclips. Thank you Jason for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.
This is probably going to be my next car when I'm going electric!
Well, hybrid is also very nice with the all new Kia Niro. Thanks Patrick.
Would you please consider adding some main differences between trims? As far as I know there are 3 right ? Would you please also add what 2023 model prices are comparing to old Niro. Ps. Very nice and complex review.
Yes, that's a great idea for next time. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.
@@AsianPetrolhead I am looking forward to it.
Greetings from Greece! 🇬🇷
Thank you Michael for tuning in from Greece and enjoying the all new Kia Niro 1st drive!
I look forward to the arrival of the new Niro here in northern Europe. For sure, it's not the most beautiful car in the world, but it has good and sensible features. When will the full electric version come?
Yes, hope you guys get this all new Kia Niro soon in Europe. And we are hearing the Kia will launch the EV model sometime before this Summer. Thanks.
Ordered a 2023 Kia Niro EV today, looks s much better than the previous model. And the specs are definitely better value for the money compared to the EV6.
Wow, congratulations on your new order. Yes, this 2022 all new Kia Niro looks miles better. And here is our 2 day long efficiency test with new Kia Niro. ruclips.net/video/L6Gu1KBZh-g/видео.html
Great review Charlie, looking forward to the all-new eNiro, any dates for it's release yet ?
In the case of Korea, it was released on January 25. The Ev model is scheduled for February to March.
@@Deungsanman Thanks.
I am hearing before 2nd half of this year. So, let's wait and see. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.
If Audi can use a contrast in the R8 and Q2, in the blade and rear pillar….why not Kia? I like the contrast as it distinguishes the dark. Nice job!
Yeah, agree. I think more stylish people will like the contrasting C-pillar. Thanks for enjoying the Kia Niro review.
Do you think the Kia EV6 will result in the E-Niro’s price being reduced for second generation? Pricing seems too close to one another currently
I don't think Kia EV6 price will have impact on Kia Niro pricing. Thanks Dan for enjoying the Kia Niro review.
We're thinking to buy a Niro 2022. I ask myself if it's better to wait for the 2nd génération but we dont know when it ll coming to Canada and the price!!!!
Any news?
Not sure about N. America arrival, but I would guess in about 6 months? Thanks P for enjoying the Kia Niro review.
Charlie, Does it offer AWD on any of the models, even strict EV model?
No AWD for this new Kia Niro. Aiming for better efficiency. Thanks. E M1.
Nice review! When we can expect to review the new niro phev and ev?
EV will be released sometime before this Summer here in Korea. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.
@@AsianPetrolhead
Thank you for the update! I placed a factory order for the Ioniq 5 here in Canada and car will enter production in October 2022; honestly I like better the new niro ev since there’s a rear wiper that’s missing on Ioniq 5 and thinking to cancel the Ioniq order and wait for the niro ev although in Canada will arrive probably the earliest next year , what’s your opinion and advise?
I'm curious what the Niro will cost in the EU, because we have the special EU model of the Sportage (shorter than the standard models worldwide) only for €27,000 MSRP and it's quite well-equipped in it´s Starter package.
Hope you guys get the Kia Niro soon in EU with reasonable pricing. Thanks. Smaoker ACe.
Do you have Chinese cars in your country ( GWM cars)? By the way great review as usual.
No, we don't. But i would love to review them as well. Thank you for enjoying our 1st drive with the all new Kia Niro!
Does it have an electric heater or the gas engine has to kick in any time you want to heat the cabin?
It has 1.6L gasoline engine, so, it has heating system just like any other gasoline model. Thanks you Ha,.
Wil be my next Kia ( no 4 ) when available in NZ ( have to give up sadly my Diesels now )
Hope you guys get Kia Niro soon in NZ. Thanks Kapti!
how's the new DCT gearbox? is it still "bouncy" in crawling traffic like the previous gen?
In city traffic, if you abuse it, you can feel the DCT. But if you just drive normally, it's not bothersome. Thank you for enjoying the Kia Niro review.
I'm glad its a normal hybrid and not useless MHEV. I know PHEV is also optional but imo the best solution is just a normal hybrid system like in Toyotas.
yes, this hybrid is very great alternative to full EV. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.
Orange C pillars etc are cool on some newer vehicles.
Oh yeah, orange c-pillar would be very cool. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.
Can you tell me how you experienced the seats? I like the model, the outside as well as the inside. In Holland we are not yet able to see and feel the car in real life.
Well, I drove the car for long time doing range test (please refer to this video ruclips.net/video/L6Gu1KBZh-g/видео.html) and it felt comfortable.
@@AsianPetrolhead Thank you!
Hmm so the engine combined poweroutput is exactly like the old Niro. Are they also releasing a chargable Hybrid?? I have the 2019 model with charging and have enjoyed it much since you can drive pure EV with a button and in summer it actually matches the range of over 50km on battery only.
We might be looking to get our current Niro traded in for the 2023 EV version since we also have a Hyundai Kona EV it is time to go full EV on both cars.
Yes, output is same. But Kia is saying this new Kia Niro is more efficient and roomier. Thanks
❤👍KIA👍❤ Good video and car
Thank you Osame for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.
ev on highway was also available on my 2015 sonata hybrid
Nice. Great to hear that. Thank you for enjoying the all new Kia Niro review.,
Wish Hyundai/Kia would move away from Piano Black from all their vehicles. It appears luxurious but after 1 week, dust is visible and is a scratch magnet. Matte surfaces FTW!
Yes, I agree. Thank you Moon for enjoying the Kia Niro review.
I can see the trunk led but not sure back up light.. I do not like the design tho.. thanks Charlie for review... I still prefer sportage over Niro..no panoramic sunroof... I wish they have like sportage... I like the front bonnet open..not like sportage...manual
welcome boyzepter. Thank you for enjoying the all new Kia Niro review~!
It was a very nice first review of the all new Kia Niro, I've enjoyed it. Thanks for bringing it to us. It is a nice car worth considering. Would you compare it to the new Kia Sportage? Is the Niro getting close to the Sportage in terms of space and interior quality?
I get that question a lot. If you want more power, then go with Kia Sportage, but if you want better efficiency than go with Kia Niro. Thanks Christian.
@@AsianPetrolhead Thank you very much!
