Many thanks for your work and sharing the test results 👍
Great video. I currently drive a 30kw Kia Soul. Will consider Niro when I upgrade. 👍
Thanks again for the great detailed video.. I agree on the arm rest, but I have to say, after 2 years of e-niros I have got used to the arm rest.
Still in my top 10 maybe even top 5 of EVs I like a lot.
I've just ordered one (top spec with all packages ) 🙂
hi did it come with the auto follow car ahead?
i just got delivery of mine and it doesn't have it?
it can auto steer and stay in lane but no auto follow
You can set one of those 3 screens to show the temperature etc.
It always amazes me when TH-camrs talk about how quiet a car is or not! I'm sure they're the only people who really care, because they need to talk over the video, of course!
When a car manufacturer includes a subwoofer in the back....... I'm using it! I don't care how quiet it is at speed, the house tunes will be pumping out anyway!
First, as YT newbies would say!
Wish you had camera in front of the main screen too so we could watch the instant power draw and regen.
You drove the car in sport mode, which has the highest torque and almost no regen. I have the 2021 eNiro and when I drive it in ECO mode I get no spinning wheels at all, ever. The car gets 40-60% regen in ECO mode, the onboard software is flawless, and the car is smooth, quiet, and easy to drive on the highway until about 130km/h. I compared it to the VW ID3, which I found to be a nice if boring car with a strange software system.
Regen can be adjusted as desired in every drive mode.
Yes the spinning wheels happen in Sport and comfort mode. But I want to feel some power and other cars, especially rwd cars do that better.
@@BatteryLife I saw it as an example of confirmation bias.
👍👍
Doesn't the ID3 also have the function to only control the heat for the driver when driving alone?
Yes, but in consumption it does not do that much.
Hammer time!
My screens are pretty much instant. Only time it takes that long is when it’s been sitting for a longer time like 3-4 days.
It happened a lot in this car. I was even driving before this.
What is the noise level and vibration for Hyundai Kona at higher speeds >130 km/h, compared with e-Niro? Is Kona doing better?
Same
I think the door arm rest is too low, rather than sitting too high because the central arm rest is just right.
I know it's impractical but you are supposed to fasten your seat belt before you power on car. That way you won't get so many beeps starting eNiro.
But I think you should fasten your seat belt before you put the gear in. What if you want the ignition but not even drive. It still beeps.
You should test the Facelifted Kona as well. I had the old version and now i have the new version. As it's much cheaper in my country compared to the E-Niro, i chose the newer Kona....
I will get the Kona in July
😉
I've driven Nissan LEAF and Kia Niro EV... and both are loud (road noise mainly, some wind noise)... but seems all cars are like this.. I dont recall a car being silent when driving on the motorway...
There are some
It can regen at greater power than AC charge? Weird.
Id.3 too, it regens with 70 kW
Taycan Cross Turismo Turbo S and EQS 580 are said to recuperate with up to 290 kW. Why would it be AC charger limited?
I think dc was meant here. The Niro can indeed regen more than the 77kw (for a short time at least).
@@BatteryLife On my ID.3 I see sometimes more than 90 kW.
Loud? I have never in my life had a car this quiet. I can literally whisper and all passengers would hear me.
If you keep regen plus pedal the car should completely stop (a tip)
I know.
@@BatteryLife 😅 oh, sorry, it took like several weeks for me to find this out
Still to buy today?
Yes!
Why drive so fast? Saving (electric) energy is a necessity not only for the future generations Safety is also something to consider.
Love German roads . Far superior to the shite we have in UK . Potholes everywhere and the road tax we pay supposed to be for the roads .how can German government build and maintain better roads with a much bigger road network too
You don't pay road tax, you pay vehicle emissions tax which goes into the main government pot, your council tax goes towards roads... I do agree that German roads are much better than ours in the UK.
@@alastairgoffey6073 even worse it's just a scam to get more tax . Nothing to do with the environment just greed . I don't know about your roads . But the roads in South Tyneside are shit . Pot holes bust road kerbs everywhere utter disgrace . Traffic lights where nor needed and he e NN we been needed before suddenly appear . Like round abouts wtf is that about
For where I’m from going a 170 speed limit you’d get the police after you and you’d a speeding ticket. You’d not get that noise you’re complaining about which is nothing to complain about. Just my opinion. Bye!
This car is great but at 130 km/h it is louder than other cars.
Lots of reviewers have demonstrated acceleration 0-100kph close to six seconds. Noise? At 160kph in a SUV/Crossover? Irrelevant for a family designed car. TeslaBjorn’s instrument measured noise tests show less than 5db noise difference (65-70kph) in similar designed cars at “family” car speeds. I doubt that any human ear could detect that difference at that noise level. I like your personality and friendly style, but your lack of discipline and your irrelevant tests for this class of car have put me off your channel. Sorry.
0 to 100 is never 6 sec, you are wrong. 7,3s maybe. My car had 52% SOC therefore less power, only 137kW, instead of 150 kW.
wind Noise level at 130 kmh is louder than in other cars.
Under that it is fine.
All mentioned in the video!
130 is important in some european countries, because it is the highway driving speed.
bye!
@@AlanTov what’s wrong with pointing out someone being critical is factually all over the place? The response was measured considering the initial comment was incorrect.
@@kevinwalton4538 Incorrect? Then your research is as poor as “Battery Life”. There are lots of videos and articles confirming E Niro acceleration is considerably faster than stated by Kia’s official numbers. Watch all this channel’s videos of the E Niro and do your research. You will find inaccurate statements that reflect poor research or deliberate misleading comments eg, he states that you cannot view sat nav directions in the driver’s display - you can with a simple push button on the steering wheel. But he is too proud to admit his errors or that his findings differ from other reliable reviewers eg, Tesla Bjorn. He criticises the jerky smart cruise control action when approaching a slower vehicle ahead when this can simply be set in the driver’s controls. He criticises the Kia auto trip data screen when there is a driver reset controlled screen one button push away. His comments about efficiency are also at odds with other reviewers. However, I think that my criticism of the latest VAG, BMW and Daimler cars have caused a sting in several channels. It is shameful that they are comparing their latest ‘pure EV’ designs with a 4-5 year old Korean EV based on a petrol/hybrid car design. These German cars should be significantly better than the E Niro in terms of power, efficiency, features and cost. They’ve had years to ‘cut and paste’ the engineering in the Tesla and Hyundai Ioniq classic, the only EV to challenge Tesla EV efficiency. Sadly and disappointingly most are not better and they are typically 10k Euros more expensive for the same equipment as the E Niro. German EV engineers are asleep at their desks and all the efforts of VAG, BMW and Daimler fan boys to disguise this complacency will not save them when the Korean pure EV’s are on the road. And they are 2-3 generations behind Tesla technology.
@@AlanTov I'd read that as his usual sign-off, nothing more.
5db is a huge difference in loudness as the scale is logarithmic. The Kia e-niro is a great car but there is no doubt it is really quite noisy. Also acceleration fastest I have seen is high 6 seconds in perfect conditions.
Thanks for the tests. It's interesting that you mention that the eniro is loud compared to the ID.3.
Bjørn Nyland and Andreas Haehnel came to a different conclusion. They measured the noisse level and both come to the result that the eNiro is quieter than the ID.3.

Maybe you came to a different conclusion because of unevenly worn tires.
To the upcoming comparison of the infotainment system of the eNiro and ID.3. The eNiro has received a new software that has significantly changed the infotainment. The software on your test vehicle is the old one. It makes no sense to compare an outdated version.
Wind noise at 130 is louder than in other cars. Under that speed it is fine.
@@BatteryLife Andreas Haehnel measured at 130 km/h, 62.2db for the eNiro and 66.4db for the Id.3. So the ID.3 is 4.2db louder than the eNiro and that is a lot louder. But I don't know where this difference comes from. I drive an eNiro myself. And the background noise comes mainly from the trunk. This is uncomfortable, although it is not louder than other cars.
