2023 Kia Niro EV Review: Function Following Form
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มิ.ย. 2024
- The redesigned 2023 Kia Niro EV brings with it expectations from those already familiar with what this compact electric vehicle (EV) is capable of - namely ease of operation, outsized interior space, and the ability to overachieve on a single charge. And while it has everything it needs to do all that and more, including more range on paper than its predecessor, real-world struggles stand in the way of the new Niro’s overall success.
AutoTrader.ca road test editor Dan Ilika reviews one of Kia's electric subcompact crossovers (there's also • 2023 Kia Soul EV Revie... ). Completely redesigned, with all trims now qualifying for the full federal EV rebate, what's not to love?

I have a 2019 Niro EV and with my driving the range is 480+ km in warmer weather and 360 to 440 in colder temps. The car has over 166,000 km and I see very little to no degradation of the battery.
Dan, If it's any consolation, I got a charge out of your review😂
Bought one yesterday. Picking it up Wednesday.
Awesome review! I have a 2023 Niro EV I got mine at the end of April when the weather was still cool, and I have to say the range was poor in the beginning, but when battery preconditioning is enabled, it makes a huge difference, I was getting anywhere from 420-450, and now that the weather is warmer I’m seeing 480+ which is fantastic. I was charging every other day, but for the last few weeks, it’s been every three days. My commute isn't too bad as I drive from Mississauga to Bolton daily for work. As for the trunk, I believe the press car doesn’t have a dual-load floor, but my car does. I noticed that in some other videos. I guess not all models come with them. Keep up the great work!
Is yours long range ?
I'm planning to get one this month, whats your honest opinion of the car ?
Thanks so much for the kind words! Kia Canada has reached out to put me back in the Niro EV next month, so I’ll have a follow-up soon on my experience in warmer weather. Stay tuned!
@@trendingtopics916 Hey there! I am absolutely in love with it and couldn't be happier with my purchase. I recently upgraded from a 2018 Acura, and I have to say the Kia has a much better setup. If you're considering this car, I highly recommend going to the dealership and taking it for a test drive. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
@@mackenziemartindale7145 would you recommend level 2 charger for this my daily commute would be 40km and the car woukd be charging for 10 hours straight
Excellent honest and very useful review! Great description of the positive and negative points of the vehicle. Thanks a lot!
Right now in the summer I'm getting 460km and 13.5kwh per 100. So far so good, but will be interesting to see what I get in the winter.
I’m picking one up on Tuesday to test again in warmer weather, so I’ll have an update on my own experiences soon!
@@danilika9420 I also noticed that earlier review cars didn't have flat fold rear seats. The current production ones do.
@@drvon81 That’s very odd. It doesn’t strike me as something that would have been impacted by supply chain issues.
Thanks for the video. Did your trim have battery pre conditioning and was that used when you mentioned the slow charging? Thanks
Indeed, this one had a battery warmer.
On level 2 (blink charging company) can you expect 5 hours for 10-70 percent (or more like 30 mile of range per hour?)
They should make an update to the original Hyundai Ioniq, I am easily doing 11.5 kW/100 km in the summer and you just can't get an EV that does better than this 8 year old EV...
I have put in a reservation in for an Aptera, it should beat everything out there with a huge margin (while looking truly alien)
