Tow bar section (6:18), you probably mean a towing capacity, not a charging capacity...
Also, at 8:55 I suspect the green zone drive mode turns off the petrol engine in urban areas, not the electric motor?
If only the Charging capacity was 750kw 😅
You're absolutely right. These things are so obvious it's shocking they did not pick it up. It's as if no one watches it while editing before publishing LOL just poor
8:20 plug in hydrid version? Hmm what's hydrid power? She's lost it 😂
Thank you, I was thinking she’s got it backwards too
Shocking she has still not corrected her mistakes a month later. Hard to take this Channel seriously.
At least with the eNiro the stated range was much more 'realistic' than a lot of other EV's. So - it might not claim 300+ miles, but I bet it gets closer to the 300 miles than many cars that claim 300+ miles.
Just bought a 2021 eNiro 4 and seeing this video I'm glad I didn't wait for the new model. No groundbreaking improvements that I can see.
I’m in a group that loves the look of the car, especially with the 18” alloys and red blade on the c-pillar makes it look like the Habaniro concept!
I think the car looks great inside and out this is really a stylish car with a little more roominess in such a modern comfortable look on the inside the charging is a little slow and the front position charger seems not so cool but nothing's perfect overall this is a 9 out of 10 love it 👍👍👍👍👍
I'm really feeling the simplicity of the electric designs. Looks light outside and inside. And not just looks it's actually lighter because all the shenanigans of fuel cars aren't there
Thanks for this quick review, will be interesting to see a video where you get to drive it...As an e-Niro owner here in France since March 2019....one of the first off the boat I can say we still love this car after 3 years with it.. Apart from a passenger wing mirror that stopped folding back on locking last year (replaced under warranty) the car has been faultless in 58,000 km. I’ve grown to like the snub-nosed shape of the ‘old’ Niro but I do like the front of the new one, though I couldn’t live with that different coloured C-pillar...which I think is an option. Ours was a retirement present to ourselves so doubt will ever buy another new car but having got one of the first it is interesting to see how in spite of newer competitors the e-Niro is still a top seller.
👍
You can always paint or wrap the C-pillar to match. I actually like it, though.
The C Pillar is awful but overall it’s an evolution of the original. Liked the tow bar, bigger boot, front end/ Frunk and V2L.
It seems like they did a redesign of the Niro and forgot to address the main complaint people had with the old one... charging speed. It should have been possible to raise it to at least 120KW...no idea why they didn't though...
They must have an EV 4 or 5 in the pipeline to fill the gap that the fall in future Niro EV sales next year. This was just Kia’s EV4/5 prototype.
Does it have the blind spot cameras that display in the gauge cluster when the turn signals are on?
Does it have an open space in the front where the transmission tunnel were or is it closed? The ev6 is completley open there and the lodis e-Niro had a little open area but what about the new
I really like it, but why put the charge port in a supposedly sacrificial part of the car (the bumper) where it is more likely to get damaged in a fender bender or bumped while street parked? Higher up on the hood (bonnet), a quarter panel, or fender (wing) just seems like better placement for something that if compromised would leave it unable to charge.
The front central charging point is so you can use any sort of charger, ostensibly... Totally agree with you though I always reverse into a parking space. I guess you'd need an extra long lead if you have to reverse into your drive for safety reasons... Shouldn't reverse out onto a main road.
A bigger boot and a frunk, good... Increasing external dimensions, bad. If this means the e-Niro4+ gets cheaper by 2024 I'm all for it!
For better or worse the older model was more anonymous in the looks department. This refresh is certainly more distinctive. I like it.
Wasn't sure at first but went to the Kia Electric Experience event at my local dealer to see it and was very impressed with it in the metal. Have now got one ordered and looking forward to its arrival.
Is V2L and the remote moving thing standard?
Great looking car and just at a time when I will definitely be changing to electric this year, certainly food for thought, thanks.
It looks ugly and funky
That charging rate is a joke. Given this is a small family car you'd probably road trip in.
The EV6 has monstrous charging speeds, how did they mess this up so badly.
It's just a refresh, so minimal underlying changes to the platform. If they improved it all over, it'd compete directly with the EV6, which would be foolish. This is intended to be a more affordable option.
Yes but the EV 6 is a lot more expensive and powerful. Totally different animal.
It’s true Rapid charging rate can be an advantage, but it is often overstated. For many people charging at home will be the preferred location. Why? Overnight charging rates can be 5 to 10 times cheaper; speed of charging is not an issue overnight on my driveway. Admittedly not everyone has a driveway and some drivers do most of their miles repeatedly on the motorway over very long distances; for those drivers, speed of charging is a paramount consideration. But for the vast maJority of the general public journeys of more than 150 miles in a day will be the exception, since the average annual mileage is only c8000 miles.
@@stephenshannon3706 agreed most of the time rapid charging and mileage arent a concern but people are worried about the once in a while extreme case where it's super cold or you need that extra fifty miles because of a family emergency etc.
@@bbar182 Agree a lot of people perceive rapid charging as a major issue; just think that reality and perception are often misaligned. I suspect that most people in the UK have little direct experience of using / driving an EV and have often had their perceptions moulded by negative vested interests in the oil and auto industries and by sloppy journalism that has served to make many wary of switching to EV’s. Virtually all EV’s in the West are from legacy manufacturers, (Tesla apart) who have not been happy to undermine their investments in fossil vehicles. It has suited that lobby to foster doubts about the practicality of making the switch, including emphasising issues about charging speeds. It’s interesting to note that manufacturers have been wary of offering really price competitive EV’s because they know demand for fossil cars will remain as long as there is a significant price differential. Despite this increasing numbers of people are seeing benefits (economic, pollution, torque etc). Even Big Oil has recognised that the change is unstoppable. For me the bigger concern is that Big Oil has been able to buy a dominant market share of public charging - which means electric public charging will not remain cheap. The UK Gov’t has allowed this to happen, whatever their motive. This is a really good reason to charge from home on cheaper tariffs and make the most of self generation like solar etc whenever possible.
Excellent review. Still waiting for the EV4 though! 😜 This is a relatively minor upgrade on the excellent Niro EV model - I’ve enjoyed 14,000 miles in the e-Niro 4+ over the past 15 months.
According to other reviews, this new version does NOT use the old platform but a new one which is why it's slightly longer and wider. As an owner of the current model, I think the outside design is, as Ginny says, very disjointed and I much prefer mine. Having said that, I like the interior more and having the slightly bigger boot would be very welcome, especially if the underfloor area is more useful (mine is very space - inefficient in this regard). All - in - all I think I'd wait to see what the EV4 is like before making any decisions.
this video is… incredible lol so concise. wish more reviews were like this.
Depends on price.... how much is it?
Thanks Giny.
Delightful to see new Niro. 👍
Really looking forward to the production/arrival of this car when it comes to the UK. Haven't been a big KIA fan, but this car has definitely changed my opinion of KIA's.
Still not a Kia fan really but then I am a badge snob.
Good video. I currently have the self-charging Niro and think I'll go PHEV next time rather than full electric.
Does the PHEV have vehicle to load as well?
Love it - and you didn't mention the power boot! I can't get enough news about it and can't wait - I've already got my deposit down for its arrival later in the year in Australia! I have a charger front and rear of my garage which is where I usually charge - my Leaf and Kona charge at the front, Outlander PHEV at the back. It is still the best in terms of size, range, value and performance in its current version - this will ensure it stays there for a while!
Looks great, have we any idea on price for the new model?
Wretched pull off bungs on the charge sockets.. spring loaded would make all the difference. Could be an ideal old man’s car ie me!
Pull off covers are the worst, so fiddly to refit and when it's pouring with rain that's the last thing you want to be faffing around with.
Really nice review! Thank you for sharing! This 'The Greenzone Drive Mode' is such a great use of the hybrid function of the car! ⚡🔌🚘
I've been looking forward to your review of this car, but spec information was never clear.
Obviously you did not disappoint
Quality rEView as always
@6:18 do you mean towing capacity??
It's a great improvement over the outgoing model!
Great improvements and Kia is not afraid to offer EV6 features in a lower-priced model. Another winner!
Great review. I wonder what the cost will be though?
Reversing into charge space is the best idea, if vehicles park opposite whilst your charging to a front charge port you may find it difficult to reverse out, plus if you have to wait in the car sitting looking at a charger is dull as dishwater. Reversing in means and if your charging and all stalls are full another car arrives theres often a chance to communicate "ill just be going in 5 minutes" or do the right thing and say " Im going", 8 years 125,000 uk miles gives me some insight.
Not up to dropping the 0-60! Dont press the go pedal so much but now you have lost some potential safety margin on overtake.......Ill stick with my 2014 Tesla.
Were those rear seats heated?
Even the towbar charges the car…on my way to Kia!
Not sure if this is on my list or not to replace my Kia Soul EV. It is going to depend on pricing.
I am disappointed that the charge speed has not improved and am concerned that it will render the new Niro as outdated very quickly when compared to other cars in the same price bracket, but I suppose they need to create a clear differentiator between the Niro and the EV4. But if the top spec of this is over 40k then you are gonna start thinking Renault Megane E-Tech instead, or maybe EV4 if the gap in price is minimal.
I could live with the speed in reality because the number of times I need a hefty rapid charge is actually pretty small, but I would want to see that reflected in the price. Otherwise, given the choice, you're clearly going to pick a model that costs the same but charges at twice the speed.
I agree that the number of times you need fast charging is small for the average person, but as someone with a family with small children who already hate being in the car, telling then we'll have to stop for 43 min every 200 odd miles will make road trips and family holidays a pain the butt. So, yeah, this charging rate was a massive disappointment for me too...
Considering you can easily get 260 miles on one charge, how long are you road trips.
And if you have travelled 260miles non stop, I’d think your kiddies would want to hop out the car and stretch for the 45 minutes to recharge the car.
So I think the point does not really stand up to scrutiny.
But I hear you.
@@monk3yboy69 so 260mi is a best case scenario, highway at 120kph (75mph) with aircon and a trunk full of stuff, it'll probably do closer to 200/180? Maybe even 160 if the terrain is particularly hilly? Now, every year we do a summer drive that 450 km (280 mi) long. We leave at 5am to let my kids sleep most if not all the way. And today, in an ICE car, we do it non stop. If I think that the car might do 160 miles, because the trip is particularly hilly, that's two full battery charges, or several partial ones. At that rate? I'll leave at 5 am and arrive at 5 pm. Shoot me dead. But, again, I understand that this is a particular scenario but i think it's not uncommon
I love the new front end. The rear end will take some getting used to, to me, the boot lid seems to be taken from an old CR-V...
Completely agree with the front centre positioned charging ports though, I'm someone who until leasing a MG5 EV had always reversed into a parking space - I feel it's just much safer when exiting, so I would have to make sure whatever car I get next has the charging ports at the rear.
I don’t think you can drive away in any electric car when the cable is plugged in? I.e the car knows the cable is plugged in.
I'm not feeling that front end at all. Prefer the previous bland one. As for the rear, one color would be preferred
Ideal charge port location for when tesla open up their superchargers
I'm the opposite. I quite like the 'swoosh' toward the back, but the front looks far too busy for me.
@@NealMcQuaid You completely misunderstood my point. I’m not talking about charging, I’m talking about parking. It’s safer to reverse park in a bay and also much easier to exit a bay by pulling forward than trying to manoeuvre around cars that weren’t there when you first pulled up.
What’s with the Kia Niro Phantom of the Opera rear panel.
Great. It’s actually really good looking and the interior is pleasant.
Do we get it in Australia 🇦🇺??
I wonder if a higher performance model is planned with a bigger battery. Great review
Great review agree with your findings. Toyota Prius Hybrids never had a reverse gear, everything you reverse it is the electric motor turning the other way
Well this be sold in USA? If so, how much?
Im an eNiro owner. Was hoping for 22kw AC as I cant charge at home and 22kw chargers are popping up in my local area. The froot is a welcome addition as is the front central charging port. Not keen on the seats and grey panel.
Anyone know what the downward weight limit on the ball hitch is going to be?
100kg
Looks very nice- Kia are making some good cars, I just ordered my wife the new Sportage.
I 100% agree with you on reversing into parking spaces. You have full vision of everything around you both going in and out of spaces when you reverse in, whereas if you go in nose first pedestrians and cars driving past better beware. This was the reason I didn't even test drive the Mustang when I bought my EV6.
You do have a warning system when reversing out. I prefer front charging.
I once worked for a company that would take disciplinary action if you forward-parked inside their site. Reverse parking is safer and I always do it if I can.
Looks a lot better then old one 😍
I love everything about this car!
I don't know if everybody has this problem but is it me or the kia Niro get better range the the model Y. I have a 2019 Niro with range of 240 I get around 280. My model y has a range of 303 but I get about 240 of range ????
I enjoyed watching the Video. I like the design the best
Interesting new design, will be interesting to see you do the road test review
Does it have a heat pump?
Ginny really sorry to note but when you were telling us about the tow bar you said that it had a charging capacity of 750kg?? Thank you though for a very practical and honest look at the redesign.
I'd definitely buy this car, if it has AWD or RWD.
Thanks for another interesting review! I like the new style and some of the improvements, even if to me it's still a big compromise given that they are building a petrol and diesel version too.
I hope that with this model entering the market, the previous one would see it price going down so there would be more affordable e-niro to buy.
There will probably be a huge delay before new vehi le deliveries, apparently the battery range is no greater, price will be higher so can't see prices of existing one coming down much
@@richardhaywoodh Yeah, there are still a lot of delays in the market at the moment, so probably prices won't come down anytime soon, but one can dream! :)
Diesel version? No they're not, the Niro has always been available as a petrol-electric hybrid (HEV or PHEV) and electric only, no diesel or pure petrol.
@@shroomyesc sorry, my bad, I thought there was a diesel version too. Anyway, what I meant is that this new Niro Ev was born on a platform not just for the electric version, so the engineers couldn't take completely advantage of this being an electric car to maximize battery disposition, efficiency, space inside and so on.
We need this car in here in Australia..
Finally, another reviewer who agrees with me that the charge port should be in the back because reversing into parking spots is better (and more safe by the way). In every video that I have made and I mentioned this, there are always several comments stating that the front is best.
It is interesting to see the bits of EV6 that have made their way into the Niro EV. I look forward to it arriving in Canada to see in person. Nice review, thanks for sharing.
I think front is best, drive straight in and plug in. By which time most people reversing will be on their 3rd or 4th time getting it straight and then work out that they've got the wrong side for the charger. Unless you've got a Tesla where the chargers are designed for the port on the back left, front is best.
@@carlarrowsmith I agree, front is best for charging port. Wish more EV's had charging port on front.
Did I miss mention of the price?
Good review, however, at 9 minutes, how is switching off the electric motor, green, in designated urban areas? Did you mean switch off the petrol engine?
Owning a e-Niro MY21 „Spirit“ (all the tech) trim, MY23 tunes just the right little minor things, makes me even consider to switch. With 100kg less mass & optional battery pre-conditioning I do not even mind the slightly lower peak charge power.
Hey electrifying, just a heads up!
At 8:50-9:00 Ginny accidentally says the car switches OFF electric only mode around urban areas.
What are the new dimensions? I don’t necessarily want a longer car due to limited space in my garage
I hope to be looking for an electric car soon and the e Niro is one I would be interested in. Is there no mention of price yet. Might make it a good time to buy a nearly new old model
The existing e-Niro is in high demand and dealers are selling demos and low mileage cars at near new price. The new Niro EV will probably cost more than the existing e-Niro
In Sweden the new model is pretty much same price as the old one. Monthly leasing cost for the cheapest model went up only by like 25euro/month compared to the old model so I think it will sell very well (just like the old one did)
They should give Niro customers an option to add air suspension. My old Niro had very firm suspension and you could feel all the potholes when you drove over them.
The builder for the new Niro is now live on the Kia UK website. The contrasting C-pillar is only available on the top trim (and has a 150-pound upcharge). The gray trim around the wheels and along the side is only available on the EV (not other versions).
While it is not as sexy at the EV6, I'd consider it as a more affordable way to get into an EV, with great practicality and lots of desirable features. I do like the distinctiveness of the contrasting C-pillar (blue body with black blade would be my pick).
More importantly is it possible to have either optional or standard Heat Pump included with this new Niro EV please ? Looking forward to see one at my Kia dealer !
Did they say a price?
So is that the 2023 or 2024? Also, do you know when that will be headed to America?
Too much power? Is that a problem? Love my 2020 Niro EV!
Curious about that no reverse gear choice? So if you drive 50 miles, the first 30-35 will be electric then you switch to the ICE counterpart and when you get to your destination you will not be able to go in reverse to park? I'm sure there is some reserve or fall back but seems like a weird choice.
It’s not the first car to have no mechanical ‘reverse gear’. All the existing Toyota hybrids are like that, with only the traction motor being reversible, and there is no reverse gear. The motor can run in either direction via the control unit.
i hope it means the Kona is getting the same type of V2L capabilities. (btw, she was pointing at the wrong plug, the actual one is 15A) heck, lets hope they make a(original) Ioniq that has it. no need to upgrade the battery, just give it a decent charging speed. oh and a tow hook since i would love to have a trailor for when i am taking stuff to the dump.
Choice is always helpful when expanding a car brand's appeal to the masses. Didn't hear anything about pricing, Ginny. Does it slot in significantly below the EV6?
I don’t there is much hope of a drop in price when it comes to comparing new to old, the new was reported to have a higher price from the off topping out at just below the starting price of the sportage EV when that’s released.
About 35k (2 spec) to 40.5k (4 spec). Plus 600 quid for paint unless you want orange and 900 quid if you want a heat pump.
So roughly, it tops out at 42k fully loaded, which is roughly where the EV6 starts for the base spec.
So much better-looking than the old one which looked like....nothing. This'll definitely be on the shopping list
Thank you! Looks really decent...
no automatic cleaning of camera so i always drive my old e-niro into charge/parking and wipe camera before i leave. love the front placed charging.
yeah its still slow charge but not a big problem for me... longer trips that require charging other then at home is about 5 times/year for me so no big deal and i think, and plenty of people will have about the same.
just order this one now with that c-pillar in same color as the rest of the car and i like the new look.
The main thing the Niro needs is the motor in the rear. I prefer the charge port in the rear also, I back my stylish I-miev ;) into the garage and plug it in.
It looks funky, where the old one looked really dated next to the ID3. Hopefully it should make the first generation e-Niro’s cheaper, but I’m not holding my breath!
I actually really like the C pillar treatment.
I would never have bought the old eNiro, simply because of the lack of towing capacity. This new one definitely goes on my list, though I might end up getting the Ioniq 5, 4 or even 3. I had considered one of the MGs, but with the price of electricity going ever higher, and the installation of solar panels at our home, I think that I'll be able to justify something a bit more interesting. My big question is whether I need the faster charging times of the Ioniqs or will the Niro EV be enough?
Apart from “only you can answer that, it depends how you use it “ answer, I’ve found my eNiro to be fine, even on longer trips. Faster charging will always be nice, but it’s quick enough for us, although we do try to stop where we can go for a wander while it’s charging. 20 to 80% takes around 35 to 45 minutes, ish.
@@devonbikefilms Thanks for your input. If it weren't for the need to visit my mother i the UK (we're in N. Spain), I really don't think that charge times would be important. Even then, if we weren't working, it still wouldn't be important. But we are, and it is.
I think we'll probably end up waiting a bit for a smaller Ioniq to arrive.
Personally, I like big cars, but my wife isn't so keen. And the Ioniq 5 really is a very big car.
I am off to see it (again) at my local Kia reveal. Seen it once at Fully Charged but this time, taking my wife to see if she finds it comfortable. I have been battling for a while with the 'is the charge speed an issue' question and whether I should go for the Ioniq 5. I have a Soul EV first edition at the moment and whilst the charge speed is not the best, we don't rapid charge often and I am not sure it will be a big issue. Plus, if the charge curve has been flattened and the battery conditioning kicks in if you navigate to a charger on the in built nav, maybe it will be pleasantly acceptable. The Ioniq 5 is a big and quite thirsty car and I am just not sure I need to push the boat that far financially. If the wife likes this, I think we'll be getting one.
The coloured back panel is optional apparently
While crossovers aren’t my cup of tea, this looks so much better to me than the previous model. I was considering one when there were fewer ev options, but it’s utter blandness really put me off.
Feels a bit cost conscious. I'm gonna use that. Not heard that way of describing cheap before.
Yes its got a towbar with a charging capacity. What will they think of next :)
What is the price
Looks good , except the panel with with the wrong colour. Shame they still have not ditched the hybrids.would be good to know the price.
The real attraction as I’ve already the Niro EV 4+ is light interior and the Vehicle to Load.
Same.
Fisker Ocean !!! It's already out there !!! :)
The relaxation seats really makes sense here when the peak charging speed is only 72kw! It just needs the Leg support pillows like the Ioniq 5😆
i can no longer recommend the Nio given that super slow charging along with the price, if they reduced it by €7000 it would be way easier to purchase/recommend. MG took the lead with battery pre-heating and faster charging (in this segment). The Marvel R cost the same on leasing as the OLD Nio, not to mention the ZS is a whopping €100 less per month. So what is the point besides the styling of the Nio? It's too expensive for what it is.
It does seem that some ice platforms are more versatile than others .
Awesome Kia ev.
In many ways this is a solid upgrade from the previous model. If they keep the same price range, I might have preferred this over the Ioniq 5 if not for the difference in charge speed.
Optically, I really dislike the different coloured side panel. However, you don't see that when you're sitting inside... If it saves a decent amount of money, might be OK.
Same viewpoint as me. The relatively weak charge rate makes this a non starter for me. Better options out there in similar price point
@@northcountryman Which are?
@@Ago468 Ioniq5, EV6, ID4
The side panel can be the same colour. It can be any colour you want.
@@northcountryman Ioniq 5 and EV6 can hardly be described as a similar price point. They both start out with the poverty spec at roughly where the Niro tops out with the fully loaded spec. To get the same bells on either car as a loaded up Niro has means a 50k price tag. That's 8k more than a loaded Niro. That's not similar price point in my book.
I considered an Ioniq 5 to replace my Soul. Nice car, but very big. It has the advantage of proper rapid charging, one of the best in the game, but when I considered that on average over the last 2 years I have rapid charged less than twice a month on average, it's not a big deal and I couldn't justify the extra 6-8k. I have ordered one of these and can't wait for it to arrive.
Hi electrifiyng... what bothers me for a long time is... after 10 or 15 years for example can you change the batteries, fix them, extend their life in any way so lets say your converted electric van will be usable for much longer...?!
'An ultra-cheap electric car conversion kit is FINALLY here!' video on Fully Charged CZcams channel. This suggests that battery changing ought to be becoming much cheaper in the future.
Does the Niro EV have a heat pump?
Id rather have the hybrid, cos you can't get the 18 inch wheels which look awesome
Wow. As a current Niro owner I'll be heading down to my local MG garage next purchase time. Didn't think I'd ever leave Kia but I honestly couldn't bear to look at that on my driveway.
Faster charging is only relevant if (a) you can find a charger and (b) one that works!
I just can't get over the bottom Guppy grill. I wish they made the facade more like the concept. Otherwise, it's a really nice looking car.
06:18 it can charge 750kgs?
that grey panel in the rear pillar is just hilarious! it looks like a clown car made from mismatched parts...
but if you can forget that, it seems to be a really nice car.
