Thinking about buying this car in the US - really nice review and good perspective from an actual customer. I've been torn between hatchbacks and SUV type cars but I don't want to live at the gas station. Niro is unique in that I can get the height of a crossover, fuel efficiency of a Prius and price tag closer to a sedan or hatchback. Very impressive car all around - thanks for this review!
Yes, Annie. I think you guys will have great time this Kia Niro. Thank you. And if you love cars and car reviews, do consider subscribing to our channel, so you don't miss out in the future. Thank you.
This is the perfect type of driver for en EV or hybrid. He’s primarily driving around town and doesn’t floor it. This car isn’t meant to be driven like a sports car. It does the job. Gas prices will go up and these cars are going it sell well. Very good interview and information. I haven’t seen any other sites do these owner reviews videos. They’re excellent.
Yes, Emmanuel usually is doing city driving. But he is getting very great numbers, i was very surprised that he can get that kind of number on daily bases. Thank you Steve. Glad you like our Owner's Review. Want to make it a global tour. Thanks.
This was really fun, especially since I have a 2019 Ioniq hybrid. It was nice to see Charles learning about the car.
I was torn between the Niro and the ioniq. The Hyundai seemed to come with more stuff included for a lower price. You do lose the bigger backseat, but the gas mileage is wonderful. You can’t really lose with the Niro. The Driver Only button is genius.
Yes, i learned again, Kia Niro is the most practical efficiency you can get until now. Thanks Egan.
I just returned my lease Kia Niro few months ago. Nice little city car when driving low speed and it's calm and quiet Bit of noisy over 50mph. Small on the outside spacious inside. I return avg 50+ mpg mostly on highway. Nice video also 👍
thank you for watching our owner's review with Kia Niro. Yes, it's very efficient and also practical as well. Thanks 111sng.
I have a 2019 Niro Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV). 26-30 EV miles and 50mpg. I love it. Perfect size and all the tech I need.
Wow, PHEV Kia Niro is even better. Glad you like Kia Niro. Yes, i was very impressed with Emmanuel's Kia Niro. Thank you Paul. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
Thanks, Emmanuel for the great content! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video about your beautiful car.
Thank you Dawn for watching our Owner's review with Kia Niro.
One of my friends from the gym got one for two years. He told me that he more often visit petrol stations to grab a coffee or screenwash rather than to fill up his car.
hahahah. Your friend is more thirsty than his Kia Niro. LOL. Thanks Michal
I personally put around 55k miles on one of those. It’s a great all rounder, very good for long distances, just don’t expect it to be a sports car. For anyone doing long miles, and I pulled at times 8 to 9 hours behind the wheel and I wasn’t destroyed at the end of the day. Would definitely buy one, the last one was a company car.
Yes, Alex. This Kia Niro is very attractive car. Thanks.
@@AsianPetrolhead it’s mainly a mile eater to me. It’s not expensive to run, and it takes you from A to B in comfort and safely. At 70 mph it messes with my nerves by it keeps changing between 5th and 6th gear, which I managed to reduce by using it in sport mode, it seems to settle down a bit more. Kia should really review the software and not make it so edgy in fuel consumption on the motorway. You will rarely go to EV mode while there, so why bother? Just give my poor ears a beak, while on long runs it’s a bit of a torture. Aside from that, I can’t fault the car.
As a note, I couldn’t understand that thing about being a Korean car and so it’s in Korean. If you want to practice the language that’s fine, but the infotainment has plenty of settings such as language. At least English, French and Portuguese are definitely on the menu, and probably just about any language with a significant number of speakers.
Love my 2018 Niro Touring. Bought it in 09/2018. 68k miles on the odometer. Average summer MPG: 40-44mpg. Winter MPG: 34-38mpg. I drive it like a regular car. No hypermiling for me. Lol
No problems except for some interior rattles... but those are usually drowned out by the Harman Kardon stereo cranked up. 🤣
Yes, Kia Niro is very nice car. Spacious roomy. Thanks.
Suppose to be my next wife's car (this summer) but the COVID-19 kill our plans...
Merci à Emmanuel et à toi pour ce partage.
Darn it. Hope you guys get this all new Kia Niro soon. I am sure you guys will love it. Thanks Philippe.
This is a really good review and has helped me decide that the Niro is going to be my next car. But... please, please, PLEASE be a safer driver! Keep your hands on the steering wheel dude!! In many countries taking both hands off the wheel like you do - SO MUCH - would be treated as a serious traffic offence because you are definitely not in proper control of the vehicle. It’s not an autonomous vehicle, so you really can’t rely on the “Lane keep” sensor. Other than that, good review, by a good reviewer. Thank you👍
Thank you Mark. Glad you enjoyed our Owner's review with Kia Niro. Thanks.
21k miles on it! My 2017 has 54k on it now! Only things done to it is tires, oil changes, and recalls. I do have the brake actuator farts but the dealership is giving me the run around on servicing it and fixing it. I also have 17" rims, running on continental purecontact LS Eco line. I get around 45-47mpg on this setup.
Wow, thanks for sharing. Glad you are still having great time with your Kia Niro. Thank you Austin. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
My 2014 Prius had the farts. But now my 2018 doesn’t.i wonder if the 2020 niro has the same issue
@@boshrothman1882 has to do with air in the brake actuator. Just needs bleeding and serviced and will fix it. It's just the dealership is refusing to do it under the warranty.
Yea they did the same to my 2014 Prius but it never fixed the issue. But they got it fixed for the 2016 and up
Great idea to have the owner sharing the car review.
Yes, we love doing owner's reviews.
I would like to see Ioniq/Kona/Niro with N threatment and the new 1.6t hybrid system as an alternative to toyotas 2.0 and 2.5 litre hybrids. You have contacts to take this message to the factory? ;)
In my current 2017 Ioniq the sports mode is really enjoyable aplied in short intervals. Engine is loaded at higher ~3000k revs when partly trottle which can be noticed as the charge meters tops up faster. When pedal is pushed further the torque of the electrical motor is reversed instantly while engine is also on better rev range and load to push more power quickly. And when not flooring but keeping the car on ecozone of sport mode it is decently quick. I'm pretty sure the engine is still on map for efficiency as i found it not to increase consumption that much. Only when floored can be noticed its not a sports car where this 1.6t would come in.
Yes, N treament on the Kia Niro and other eco friendly cars should be very interesting. Thank you for watching our Owner's review with Kia Niro. thanks Aku K.
Looking to sell my optima and get this for my wife. We drive a lot with kids sports etc ... love the review thank you
Thank you Team Panda.
I think the chr looks lot better, but the interior and practicality is alot better in the niro. Doubting to buy one of these 2, but reckon i will go for the niro.
Well, but this Kia Niro is very practical and efficient. Thanks Richard. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.

I really want a Kia niro but so worried about the reliability of Kia any thoughts? I liked the way the 2020 Kia niro drive
Well, it seems to be quite reliable, you know Kia is giving life type warranty for the batter for the new Kia Niro here in Korea, so i think Kia is very certain about their battery on their Kia Niro.

Is this as reliable as the 2017 auris or the 2017 prius? Torn between this and a Toyota for doing uber.
Well, i think it just depends. You really have to select used car carefully. Thanks for enjoying the Kia Niro owner's review.
does the touring rims really decreases the gas mileage comparing to other trims ??
Yes, i think the size of the rims really affects the gas milage. Thanks sa87 for watching our Owner's review with Kia Niro. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.

Nice car, and nice review.... but what did you see at 29:18 guys? 😂😂

Hi Charlie, do you have information about the new KIA K3 2021??
Not really. But hope to show you the new Kia k3 2021 when it gets rolled out. Thanks Alfred for watching our Owner's Review with Kia Niro 2017.
I hesitate between the Hyundai Kona Hybrid Creative and Kia Niro Active. Any idea for one is the best ?
Well, they are very nice cars, But if you want more practicality(more interior space) you should go with Kia Niro. But if you want something better looking or more SUV like car then you should choose Hyundai Kona. Thank you Luzog. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing.

Great car when it comes to saving money for gas
Yes, this Kia niro is really efficient and also practical. Thank you Johanthan.
Well i was on the fence with the ioniq vs niro but this video definitely gave me a great insight on practical effects of owning the car. Definitely going with the niro if i find one within budget.
Im 29 and live in the us with a 2016 corvette. Definitely need a great crossover like this. I subscribed to the ch
UVO do you know the name from hyundai „UVO“?
No, Hyundai has bluelink. UVO is for the Kia. Thanks.
@@AsianPetrolhead thanks
there is NO SPORT MODE... it only has eco-mode, and manual-mode.
My issue is with Kias they drop in value. 33k for a nito and will only be 10k after 10 years.
Amazing job. I love hybrids and now I'm interested in the Kia Nero.
Yes, this Kia Niro is still very attractive and practical and also efficient. Thanks

very nice channel ...hope he will vist ur channel too
You really need to compare this car's look only to other hybrids. I have tried every one of them and this is the most normal looking car out of all the current hybrids. Ioniq and Prius are just ugly. Clarity is fine I guess. Most look like toy cars. This car looks normal on the outside and very classy inside specially with a EX or Touring trim. Plus it comes with roof racks.
Me gustaría que mostraran el carro no sus caras
Glad you like our Owner's Review with Kia Niro. Thanks Carlos.

Yes, this Kia Niro 2017 still looks and drives beautifully. Thanks Abdullah.
