Nearly new buying guide: Kia e-Niro
An EV that fits into your life like a pet at a far cheaper price than rivals. What's not to like?
While there are some vivacious electric cars out there, we aren’t going to try to fool you into thinking Kia’s e-Niro is one of them. It doesn’t have the athleticism of the Porsche Taycan, the sharp design of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 or the cutting-edge tech of the Tesla Model 3. But then a car doesn’t require amazing dynamics, otherworldly aesthetics or futuristic features to be great.
When it arrived back in 2019, the e-Niro was a game changing EV – the first reasonably priced one to easily fit into people’s lives. It could truly stick it to the conventional family car, and it still can when bought used. And there’s a good lot to browse, because it ran until the Niro EV arrived this year to continue the legacy.
The entry-level battery is a 39kWh one. It comes with a 134bhp electric motor, delivering respectable performance, and it has an official range of 180 miles – although this will be more like 140 miles in real-world driving.
The 64kWh alternative, mind you, comes with considerably more poke at 201bhp. It’s hot-hatch fast: you can expect 0-60mph in 6.5sec. Its range is exceptional, too: it’s officially 282 miles, but in one of our sister title What Car?’s Real Range tests, it went 253 miles – which is farther than some much pricier EVs, such as the Audi E-tron and Mercedes-Benz EQC, can go.

Kia Niro EV Cargo debuts in the Netherlands

There are two tiers - Basic kit, which costs €1,990 and adds a coated aluminum load floor and metal divider, as well as two lashing eyes. The Pro kit, worth €2,680, brings storage compartments under the loading floor and between the front seats, along with extra lashing eyes. Both conversion kits come with a 2-year warranty.

2023 Kia Niro EV comes with updated style and better EPA range in US
Kia Niro in its second generation was first introduced in the US late last year. As a quick reminder, the refreshed Niro comes with a new design which is quite a departure from its previous version. The vehicle comes with just one electric motor option - front-mounted 150 kW (204 hp) unit supported by a 64.8 kWh battery pack.
While this vehicle has been unveiled in Europe a little bit earlier, the US version just got its updated EPA ratings. Since the 2023 Niro comes only with the larger battery, any range differences would be down to different tyre-wheel options and possibly different aero parts, if available.

2023 Kia Niro EV comes with updated style and better EPA range in US
Kia Niro EV enters the US market with updated design, improved EPA range but the price remains the same and the vehicle no longer qualifies for the $7,500 EV tax credit.
