1:58 "Underneath you got even more storage". That's because you got no spare tire.

[@Steve_in_NJ]

Getting to be more common among HEV and EV vehicles. But then again, after 5 Hyundai vehicles, I've never used the spare in the first place.

[@davidzavala337]

No spare tire I'd a deal breaker

[@dfinite1111]

No turbo “things are a little bit different”??? What the heck are you saying? I don’t understand code. Are you saying it’s weak on power, because it’s not the turbo?

[@stefanbololoi7110]

Will be great if you can review the Niro Hev SX top trim with 18” wheels and the Phev!

[@Steve_in_NJ]

After reading the CR Auto Issue, I'm now adding Niro PHEV to my list of vehicles to check out for 2024-2025 (after Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid and Kona Limited ICE or EV).

[@Steve_in_NJ]

One month later... after taking test drives, I'm ditching Hyundai and Toyota, and going with a 2024 KIA NIRO PHEV for my next vehicle!!! Looking forward to driving every day in EV mode only!!! Gas here in NJ is going up, up, up, and even though the State is now charging a one time fee for driving electric vehicles -- it's fair, we don't pay gas taxes -- I will save a boat load of cash NOT paying weekly for a tank of gasoline.

[@PatrickC139]

@@Steve_in_NJ Its the shame that in the States we don't get the Hyundai Kona HEV version Yet. They have it in the European markets, and I think in Korea where they make it. Thats the one thing holding me back from the Kona Limited or the Kona SEL trim with Convenience package. The only downside with me getting a Kia is I have to go out of town to get the vehicle serviced because I don't have a kia dealer nearby and that's kind of annoying.

[@nickcamera5544]

I have a Nero and love it....but my fuel economy on the highway (doing 75 - 80 mph) was down to about 42 mpg! Not 53.

[@ablative1732]

all other trims outside of the LX get 45 highway, the LX gets the 54 so that window label he threw was incorrect.

[@greuju]

Duh... Mpg is going to go down over 55mph 😂

[@NotSoFast71]

"Highway fuel economy" is not measured at 80mph. No headwind. No hills.

[@benlecluyse]

Insane Niro Ben !! ❤❤

[@brokeboy87]

Kia went insane with the gloss black in the interior. But I will wait for a refresh before considering this ride.

[@paulwilliams200]

Great video. Yes please - plug-in and full EV reviews.

[@michaelrevelle2229]

Whats the major difference between this model and the EX HEV model besides features? Thanks.

[@newtonlee7849]

My neighbor just bought one. Quite a nice vehicle; especially as a HEV car

[@INerd2024]

What do you recommend for a very long road trip around the country?

[@italibello]

You are in USA correct? What’s that orange color I see in the lot?!

[@dfinite1111]

“Better than I expected”? That tells me nothing! Does it have power or not, on the freeway???

[@ihavetheworldssmallestdick4568]

I appreciate Ben for continuing to pump his content in me

[@BenHardyCars]

Your name and comment concern me😆😆😆😆😆😆

[@ihavetheworldssmallestdick4568]

@@BenHardyCars I am just joking tho

[@davidcmatson]

And now I'll never be able to watch another Ben Hardy video again without that comment lingering in my brain. 🤣🤣🤣

[@italibello]

Is that runway red!.?

[@mariarubin4529]

I'm disappointed that it has the shifter instead of buttons to select mode.

[@michaeldupper762]

Put on your seat belt

[@JayMock-m4g]

The plug in hybrid is way better

[@haze1123]

Nice review! Interesting car.

[@gailcapshaw5772]

Thanks!

[@tubadude07]

no spare tire?

[@Quethecat]

That is correct; uses inflator kit

[@allstuff1]

Back seat looks real small

[@JustinHall1976]

I'm 6'1" and it's actually surprisingly fine.

[@FeelsGreatBaby]

Back seats work well for 2 people, nightmare with 3

[@Ibrahim-tr3wu]

No the best of 2024 kia niro

[@drivesanoldcar]

definitely review the EV

[@jean-bernardjoly5920]

Decent is not compelling enough , unless you are an Uber driver

[@starfury_zeta]

Yes, definitely the EV please (wind or wave).

[@makojack]

I tried those at the dealer and they're super smooth!!!

[@jasonmiller9181]

Might be a decent car but Im not spending 34k for a Kia.

[@myhandlewastakenandIgaveup]

Kia's have come a long way and they make a solid product. I remember them smoking on the side of the road back in the day but you get a lot of modern amenities including adaptive cruise control standard.

[@richardmiller6422]

ok big spender

[@MUFC1933]

Decent car
AA patrolman told me it’s the one car he rarely gets calls for for breakdown in UK

[@dfinite1111]

It’s crazy how car prices are creeping up, greedily.

[@Quethecat]

Why not ?

[@davidcmatson]

The new Prius is a MUCH better looking vehicle than the Niro (in my opinion).

[@richardmiller6422]

Are you serious? Prius looks like a jellybean and that's not a compliment

[@Ryan-um8ug]

Not the interior! The Niro interior is much nicer then the Prius.

[@canine4350]

Niro is more practical with more interior space. But, it is a bit overpriced.

[@Ryan-um8ug]

@@canine4350 I would agree there! The US model with less features then the Canadian SX model is about 8000$ more then the Canadian version! And I think the Canadian 🇨🇦 version is still over priced.

[@MacNerfer]

@@richardmiller6422 You're apparently thinking of the 2004-2015 Prius. Have you seen the 2023-24 Prius? (Probably not, they're quite rare outside of Japan, there's a big waiting list).

[@ary8996]

Perfect example of a half-assed review!
