Kia e-Niro SUV (2019 - 2022) 150kW 3 64kWh Auto 5d Owner Review

Have had the car fo five months and I am extremely pleased with it. It took me a long time to work my way through all the features and technical stuff as COVID precluded a full handover. It didn’t help that the manual is something of a difficult to handle brick. The infotainment system is excellent, with a responsive touchscreen. I find the car fun to drive with very impressive acceleration, which is useful when overtaking, there is virtually no lag between pressing the accelerator and takin g off like a rocket. Beautifully quiet with just wind noise,which is no more than any other car. As for mileage my best charge forecast 295 miles, which is nearly attainable if driven sensibly on a nice warm dry day without using heating or air conditioning. As soon as you press the heating button on a cold day, 40 or so miles is instantly deducted. Any criticisms are of a trivial nature, such as the hard to handle manual. The cable stowage is under the boot flooring which means you have to empty the boot to gain access. So I keep mine in the main boot area. Overall, I am very pleased I took a chance and bought this car, a tad expensive but well built, and happy to pass all those petrol stations with ever increasing prices.
