Best performance as a review video😃 . I enjoyed every second of it and passed the message clearly! I tried it and it is all true what you said! (No problem with the window thou 🤣) I needed a confirmation for what i think about it and i got it 100% Tomorrow i will go drop off my 2018 HEV and pick up that 2019 PHEV niro from dealership. Thank you very very much for this !!!
Plug-ins are really only useful for charging at home or having a charging option at your work location. They don’t have a fast charging option so charging during a road trip really isn’t realistic. For that you need a proper EV.
My 2021 Niro PHEV is awesome! Truly the best of both worlds. No it is not a race car but the dual clutch transmission with sport mode is efficient and fun to drive. It has driver’s seat memory is power adjustable. Plus the front seats are heated and ventilated and full leather seats all around. The car is easy to get in and out of both front and rear seats, and easy to park and drive around the city, very solid on the highway, with lots of space in the back, plus roof racks and cross bars. I like the regular sunroof (not pano), and the understated styling helps this very cool car blend in. I added on a block heater for winter and rain guards for summer. The regular tinted windows are perfect. The sixteen inch wheels give a better ride and fuel economy than the larger wheels. The intelligent cruise control is my favourite feature. The dual zone AC is great and I like having buttons to push. The dual digital instrument panels give a ton of programmable information and again… blend in. Not like other cars that have an iPad stuck on the dash… I could go on, but you get the picture.
Just took home a 2024 Kia Niro SX Touring PHEV. Why isn't my battery fully charging? It's been plugged in over 12 hours and seems stuck at 80% for longer than expected. Does it slow down near the full capacity?
It's a setting in ur infotainment system to change the limit state of charge. It's default to 80% to help avoid the battery for degradation. It's a safety feature. Ur owner's manual should also tell u how to change the state of charge percentage.
Good review. But I don't understand why you didn't get the pure hybrid if you didn't use the technology. Even though you said you don't have the wallbox. You could easily use granny cable and take advantage of the pure electric technology as I have noticed lots of your journeys was around 30 miles anyway 😉
Regarding you not telling its not cheaper than petrol. It usually costs 1.4 pounds per liter. If you drive a car that do 6L/100KM, it will cost you 0,85 pounds per 10km. 50km will cost you 4,26 pounds. Here in Sweden, our most expensive kwh costs 0,38 per kwh (9 kwh in Niro), and that lands you at 3,42 pounds, which equates to 0,68 pounds per 10km. It's not much but that is when you use the most expensive public charger. I fully charge the 9kwh for 0,4 pounds at home that drives me for 50 km.
here in iceland our fuel cost 1.94 euro per liter, charging outside my house is 0.20 euro per kwh, i could get it at 0.15 euro but i don't have my own station. So to fully charge my Optima Phev is about 2.2 euro and i should get about 35-40 km in cold but in summer about 55-60 km You still like your Niro?
@@DooDicky yeah we never import electric and Sweden are self sufficient in that regard. Maybe that’s why it’s cheaper here. But yeah overall I’m pretty happy with my Niro. I have the highest package so I have pretty much everything available. Some technology are better in other cars like the radar but I haven’t had any issues with the car itself. The engine sounds too much though for my liking but I don’t know if that’s normal. Have driven diesels all my life. With that said, I’d probably sell it in the coming months though due to the crap baggage space. If I buy a house with a charging box i could probably buy the ev version, they’re like 22 000 euros so it’s not too steep and then it would probably be worth to give up more bagage room then because they’re not any other good car manufacturers in that price range. Ceed maybe if I still have to charge it in 12A.
Hi i bought the kia niro plugin 2019 its kind of noisy when start .is this normal.I cant hear any banging engine sounds but noisy and like little whispering?Is that common for kia plugin hybrid

Yeah all good points I can't argue with.
I definitely could of used the electric more then I did
I don't drive but the review on the electric car was awesome gave me an insight to electric cars keep up the good work 👌 👍 👏
Cheers Bernard
Wow ok, thanks for the review! I'm considering too get one but I will see.
I'd get another one day for sure. Really enjoyed this car

Why would you get the PHEV and not plug it routinely when you get home? 😮
Electric isn't as cheap as people make out it is
How did you get the electric range to 36 miles just by flicking it to sport mode?
In sport mode when driving normally it will charge the battery
@@AdamKerry2024 I tried it you’re right it does actually charge the battery 🔋 pretty quick too 👍🏽
Neo 😂
great video!
Lol
