The Kia Niro is an outstanding family car. This is an electric vehicle that has a lot of storage space – it’s ideal both for quick trips to the nursery and shopping hauls at the DIY store. And with all that luggage space coupled with impressive efficiency and a comfortable drive, it’s also perfect for long trips. The Niro is what modern EV buyers expect; so convenient and efficient that it makes petrol and diesel suddenly seem painfully old school.
Key highlights
Kia thought of everything when they designed the Niro. You have the ability to pre-set the heating and aircon – you’ll wonder why you ever sat in a car while it defrosted in the morning. It’s spacious, and a pleasure to drive. There’s wireless AirPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and a generous digital driver display. A voice-activated navigation system is standard, too, so however far from home you’re travelling there’s a guide on board.
It’s easy to travel a long way with the Niro, too. There’s a real-world range of around 250 miles – this might drop a little in the winter but that’s to be expected of all electric vehicles.
This is a Kia, first and foremost, so safety and reliability are key to the car’s success. It comes with a whole host of safety features, including forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking. There’s lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist, along with adaptive cruise control. A two-zone automatic climate control system keeps passengers in the back comfortable as well as safe.
Critics have swooned over the Kia Niro and its real-world driving feel and capability. It may not offer anything that individually is outstandingly exciting, but it does offer a solid, practical and reliable drive. And sometimes, that’s everything that’s needed.
Performance and range
If you want to lease an electric vehicle that is instantly familiar as a reliable family car, look no further. Its performance specs are impressive, too, with a range of around 250 miles. It’ll take you from 0 to 60mph in a little under 8 seconds.
