Awesome DK, so looking forward to your review of this. Hope you come along to FCL Australia mentioned it to Dan to get you and Eliot along being the local team to the Asia Pacific region for FC. I wish Kia Australia had offered a light colour interior but no they went with Charcoal in a country that gets to 40c or more welcome to a Hot Box, totally idiotic IMO. What was your efficiency numbers on your test drive at Wh/km if you happened to check it? Still love the new Niro EV just wish it was lower price here and they offered light colour interior and heatpump even as options.
Thanks, I'd love to do anything with FC :) As for the heatpump, this Niro EV comes standard at least here in Korea. As for the driving range, it's a test driver + I had very short drive with few flooring, so didn't even bother checking. 5.3km/kWh is the official number, but I read from articles that a reporter marked 7.3km/kWh.
Very good test!!!! Thanks so much I gonna buy it!!!
Glad you like it! 👍
Nice
Nice review! I ordered the same, unfortunately here in the Netherlands you cannot order the white interior… so I get it in dark gray… to bad… as the white style is so so so much cooler
I love white interior on nearly all cars, but they still are tricky to maintain, dark interiors can never be wrong! Congrats on getting this awesome car, jealous!
@@CarSceneKorea Thanks! Yes i am really glad to get it.. i currently still have the e-niro but this one looks so much better! I orderd the same snow-white and gray c-style! Very cool your reviews!
So . My question here is . Which is better to buy (because we are in the market to buy one of these 2) the Hyundia kona EV 2023 or kia niro EV 2023 . They are both the same skateboard but in 2022 the kona get 415 km and the niro get 385km here in Canada 🇨🇦 .
Kona has more of the traditional SUV look, whereas Niro is well, Niro. If the design isn't much of a dealbreaker for you, Niro being the latest EV, I'd go with Niro at this point. All depends on what next all new Kona EV would be like though.
425 km range here in New Zealand.
Kia definitely have good looking cars lately. Big upgrade from previous models👏🏻
Indeed.
I agree it’s a great car but I’m wondering why the NiroEV is so expensive in Australia? Basically the same price as a Model 3 RWD ($400 less). $AU6000 more for the GT line. Say what you like but that does not reflect the price in other markets? As you channel seems to be a media arm for Kia/Hyundai perhaps you have an answer?
I focus on those brands because physically being in Korea allows me to have the upperhand over other TH-camrs, simply that. So getting to your question, I have no idea about Kia Australia of their pricing strategy. It's quite the similar case here in Korea as well, but EV6 is nearly impossible to get at this point, whereas Niro EV, well, you have a better shot 😉
@@CarSceneKorea Right - but I never hear a negative comment about these brands? Maybe I just don't watch enough of your channel. It's all good - I didn't mean to offend. I'm just genuinely confused about the pricing strategy. We're closer to Korea than the UK so I doubt it can be shipping costs - in the UK the Niro EV starts at £31,913 - which is $AU 54,445. But the UK has 20% VAT and Australia only has 10% GST. So the starting price should be around $AU50,000 plus on roads. Instead it's $AU70,000 plus on roads. The price in South Korea is the equivalent of $AU57,939 and that includes a 10% consumption tax I assume - but that's still a lot less than $AU70K. There's no import duty (which has been waived on EV's in Australia anyway) with KAFTA.
Not offended at all, no worries! Just wanted to explain a bit about myself - and as for the negative things - I try focusing on introducing the car as is, I have far more good things to say about these latest cars over "bad" and I really have to try hard to find the bad things out, too. I rarely do comment on a room for improvement though. The pricing, you definitely are far more knowledgeable than I am, the last thing I can think of could be the international relationship factors, perhaps. As we all know, there are so many bureaucracies and things tied with these EVs and automotive markets. All in all, I hope the pricing would be eased so that the globe has more better choices on EVs! Really appreciate your comment, thanks!
Niro is *NOT* the same as EV6!!! BIGGEST difference between them two is Niro EV charges at 77 kW max while EV6 can do 200+ kW, and that may be important if road trip with EV is a requirement.
Beauty of E-GMP indeed.
How long would it take to charge Niro with your roadside 50 kw chargers? Some say an HR which wouldn't be fun on a road trip
@@gibsonandpickett for one hour you're probably getting ~200km if you're almost empty (from 20-30%). If you're charging at 60+% you will charge at half the speed or less
Love the interiors hope they bring light colour interior to North America
Same here!
I ordered a Niro EV in the Netherlands. Yesterday I found out that when using a trailer or bicycle carrier, the adaptive cruise control and many other safety systems do not work. I am very disappointed and it was not communicated to me at the time of sale. In fact, the seller didn't even know. If I had known this, I might not have bought it. Is this also the case with other EVs?
Couldn't find such issue on EVs, where did you get this piece of information? I'm personally curois too. I looked up, Palisade has no problem with full HDA ability with a trailer attached. I doubt it'd be the case for Niro EV just bc it is an EV. This would be a very valuable information for my future review as well if discovered to be a reality.
@@CarSceneKorea
I have the information from the dealer. The seller himself was surprised by the first customer who returned with a bicycle carrier on the car and a non-working ACC. Finally, they found the information in the booklet. Could it be related to the country the car was delivered in? I find it very important to be able to use ACC and other safety systems for which I pay a lot of money. Greetings Jack
@@jackvandergoot As you pointed out, manufacturers do change things to meet the regulation/law of specific region/countries. I will try my best finding that piece of info on Korean owner's manual and see if there's anything stated there. As I've found, since it works just fine with Palisade, there is no reason whatsoever for Hyundai Motor Group to disable such feature on a specific model. Hopefully I can come back to this and give you a reply. Lastly, I'm concerned if there hadn't been any human error operating the tech while installing that carrier. For matters like this, I try my best to remain neutral and well, I haven't seen any solid evidence except the the dealer has said, so hope it really isn't the case!
I've gone through Korean owner's manual and no where does it state that HDA will be disabled when a trailer is attached. However, it does encourage not to use the feature as it may be less reliable due to the nature being. Some obvious features such as BCA(Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist) does get disabled though. I did however find that I-PEDAL(allows you do drive just with an accelerator, aka one-foot driving) does disable HDA. This is the best answer I can come up with.
@@CarSceneKorea
I got a photo from the dealer that I wanted to send you but I can't paste a photo in this text. It will therefore differ per country, but I find it very annoying that I will soon be unable to use these systems for which I pay a lot of money with a bicycle carrier with two bicycles on it. Thank you for thinking along. Good videos by the way, I enjoy watching them.
니로 관심없던 차종이었는데, 매력적인 친구였군요!
정말 좋은 전기차라고 생각합니다! 🥰
This Kia Niro EV will be more popular going forward here in the United States since the new US law no longer gives tax credits to EV buyers if the EVs are made outside of the US. Without the credits I will look for lower priced EVs such as this Kia Niro instead of the more pricey options such as Kia EV6/Hyundai Ionic 5 etc.
Indeed. Sorry for Kia and other import EVs upon that latest news on tax credits. When Korean EVs were just about to blow Americans' mind out! 🥲
Yeah, I believe you're right. I love my current first-gen Niro EV and I want the EV6, but I might have to settle for less priced Niro EV or EV4 when upgrading without the tax credits.
My Moro EV 2020 driving range upon full charge was and is 330 miles . I just charged it 2 days ago. The Moro 2023 driving range is 277 miles. How is this an improvement from 2020. The most important feature in EV cars is the driving range, and safety. 2023 Niro EV is not an improvement, but a an advertising strategy to hide the lowering of the driving range
True, you have a point. The driving distance isn't quite an update as they've proposed.
I, too, prefer taller sidewall tires, and I wonder if manufacturers like Tesla offer ridiculously oversized wheels because they look "better" or because the weight of electric cars is too much for taller sidewalls.
18s or smaller wheels are more than capable of holding up Tesla models when matched with right size and tires. Big wheels on daily drivers are mostly for looks unless the car is performance oriented 🥲
De EV IS IN THE FRONT TOO SIMPLE. IT’s A pity. Sportage looks better.
Sells about the same price as the Model 3 , without any EV cr in the U.S
Tough competition 💪
@@CarSceneKorea Fast forward to June 2023, and the Model 3 is cheaper in the US than the Kia Niro EV. Tough sell for Kia dealers at this point. :(
Дружище! Пожалуйста, передайте людям из КИА что им необходим свой собственный люксовый суббренд,! Также как это сделали в Хенде , создав Genesis motors!
Я бы тоже хотел увидеть это. Только если бы я мог рассказать Киа об этом. 🥲
👍👍👍
Too bad there is no awd version. Next to useless in my neighborhood in winter.
Some area definitely needs an AWD 🥲
Ev6 better with all.
EV6 is truly a great EV, built from the bottom up. Given that, this Niro EV definitely has an advantage over EV6, price, perhaps? 😎
@@CarSceneKorea At the moment prices went crazy. Here in Germany there is no big difference between Niro and EV6 (only € 3k less for Niro vs. EV6 LR RWD almost fully loaded). The low specs are no longer available. As long as it is not 10k cheaper, it pointless to pay that much for less battery, slower charging and less space.
@@Bud_Terence Whoa, it's not that bad here in Korea, sad to hear such. Many go with Niro EV because of the crazy wait on EV6 here in Korea as well. But some actually do favor Niro EV for it being.
@@CarSceneKorea As nice as the EV6 is, in a few years many long range EV's will go over 400 miles per charge. I just think it's too early in the EV game to be purchasing them right now. I'd be very upset if I spent 55k on a EV6 and then 3 years later, the 2026 EV6 is getting like 450 miles per charge.
Good point. I personally think that EVs and electronics share many characteristics in common. There will always be better ones and that time gap will be narrower and narrower as it's been. The current EVs is also definitely an upgrade compared to those showed up 5 to 10 years ago. Think the current EVs in the market are definitely worth the money to serve its purpose be it a transportation, working station away-from-home and such.
Why would you buy one of these when a Tesla Y is the same price?
Where are you? I'd get and recommend people to get Tesla Y too if same price. Here in Korea it's double if not more because Tesla's getting more expensive every day.
@@CarSceneKorea France.
Still too expensive compared with petrol model & MG4
True. ICE still competitive and holding up strong! 💪
Kia limitée????
Deutsch anpreisen und Englisch reden. Warum
Ich habe Google Translate benutzt. Ich versuche auch, den Deutschen das Auto vorzustellen 🥲
