Thanks SO much for this tutorial. I got a rental today and the manual for the Niro is 3 inches thick. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
I stumbled upon your video, learning as much as I can about all things Niro EV. I just purchased one this Sunday, after renting one last year for a family reunion in Texas. That ordeal was a veritable
nightmare, (no place to charge it locally, ran out of power and had to be towed), but I LOVED the car. Also, this video was done on my birthday so...Kismet!!! Anyhoo, thanks for all the information.
The Niro does have a front trunk storage space.
Thanks for the video. I just picked up my new Niro EV this week, and this was far more informative than trying to read the manual! It is poorly laid out and only tells you what something is and how to activate it while being short on explaining when and why you may or may not want to choose certain settings.
Nice video I bought my Niro a month ago.
Best regards from Dan in Denmark 🇩🇰
Very helpful, thanks! Just bought the Niro EV yesterday!
The controls to move your car on the key fob are not on the Wind Trim, only on the Wave (and maybe an additional option). Ventilated seats are also only on Wave, and unfortunately you have to get a sunroof and updated sound package (subwoofer takes up a lot of room in the spare tire area) in order to get ventilated seats. Heated seats are an option on either trim.
No charging cables came with the car, at least not from the dealer I checked out.
For the climate / radio controls, I recommend holding down the area between the toggle and selecting to keep it on climate by default, since the radio controls are on the steering wheel.
My car also did not have a charging cable at time of purchase. I told sales manager the car was basically a boat anchor once I got would get it home since I had no way of charging it. They eventually decided to pay half for a home charge station which I quickly ordered from Amazon.
Max great video as usual. I'm a Niro EV owner and was slightly disappointed you didnt show 1 of its best features the V2L function, aside from that i think you covered everything
New Niro EV owner here. Our previous car was an '09 ICE car, so it has virtually no tech, so it's a bit of a learning curve. We did get "trained" quickly that taking your foot off the accelerator pedal means the car slows dramatically. Therefore it was counterintuitive to us to have to take your foot off the pedal for cruise control to engage. This led to some frustration and confusion between cruise control and speed limit control, which are on the same steering wheel button..
I prefer the dynamic dash, apparently only available in settings. I've yet to see a video that touches on that.
Left paddle is up, right paddle is down - also counterintuitive for us in North America.
Thanks for the video. I got Kai Niro EV for a rental and your video was quick on learning on how to drive the car.
It sure looks better than the old one
For the 2022 Kia Niro can you use a portable power station to charge the vehicle
Good stuff. I would like to see a review comparing it to the Hyundai Kona Electric of the same model year.
🙏🏾 ThankYou!
The UK version does have a front trunk
I got one back first week of April and had it Fri,Saturday and Sunday. On Monday Kia dealer opened up and walked in said I’m swapping out and going back to gas.
Great job. What do the bottom numbers mean on the left panel under the speedometer. There are three sets of numbers. You only told us what one meant.
EV Range (1st on left), outside temp, and odometer.
Nice video. Would love to see your driving impressions on this car, which I think is attractive but unfortunately about 10K overpriced compared to its E-GMP siblings. By the way, if you long press on the Climate/Media toggle button, it will allow you to select the system it defaults back to after a few seconds. It works this way in my EV6.
Kia is making adjustments to pricing. I've seen Niro EV's for $5-8K off the MSRP.
this was recorded on my birthday July 27th
Very helpful, as the manuals are daunting!
Question? Idk if you been in a kia soul but Would you compare the size of the car to a KIA Soul?
I am a new Niro EV owner. I'd like to know more about charging at home. The manual of my Bokman charger says there is an option for Yes grounding or No grounding. Which should be used?
A good source for information on home chargers is the State of Charge channel on TH-cam.
But for operation details, you definitely want to consult with the manufacturer.
Think you forgot to show the seat and settings memory buttons on the door….
2024 no longer has the grey curve thing on the side. Love my Niro
You mean the blades? It's optional on the 2024. I was just looking at a PHEV the other day at a dealership and the EV was parked next to it. The PHEV has black blades, also optional.
I Test it for a week, I got electric car anxiety! 250 miles range, driving like a granny, keeping 50 miles back up, so 200 miles range. Not good. 5 hours re-charge and around $25 is the same I do on my kia soul 2.0. 😢
Update says 250 miles range but in highway on control cruise does 200 miles, in a 12kw charger is one hour charge for every hour drive.
Conclusion, I will stick to Gas.
Great guide, really helped with my rental. But what a POS car and a pain to charge, etc. Nobody wants these so rental car companies scooped them all up. Never again.
The new niro ev does have front truck.
With a cargo capacity of 2.6 cubic feet. Good for a small cable perhaps.
@@outofspecguide Yes the frunk is small, it's where my Level 1 charging cable lives.
@@outofspecguide which is big enough for the cables, and still a frunk.
How to start!?
Push the button. Push to start/stop like an ICE.
I have the same car looks and drives amazing but my 2020 model was way faster off the line this one is weak and also the tech is very touch and go doesn’t work the way its suppose to snd the dual feature media/climate control is the worst idea ever what a pain in the ass to use but its a lease so i will return in a couple years
24 minutes long 😂😂😭😭 how do i turn this car on
Definitely forgot to show "how to start the car".
He did show it. You press the brakes and hit start
Very dizzying presentation!
eSoul>eNiro
Man this car is terrible got this for a rental because they didn’t have a Tesla car takes way longer to charge than you get to drive, I do not recommend at all
Waaaaaaa
@@thgarvey67He’s right, boomer.
I agree it’s not a good choice for a rental car. It’s great otherwise though.
can you set it in a way that 1 pedal drive is always the default? or you need to do both steps every time you want to drive it?
Potentially very good but terrible wobbly out of focus video. Audio good but that's about it. Excellent idea ruined by poor video.
Crap. It took up to 14min to actually get anywhere close to "how to start" the car and when he did he kind of missed it. Like seriously! The title of this youtube video is rubbish.
