I am owning the E-niro since June, best care i ever had, so happy and surprised with the performance. I really believe it's the money worth, very good ratio price-quality.
Loved my 2017 Soul EV, unfortunately the new longer-range Soul did not come to the US. I just got the Niro EV and love it. I still miss the Soul though.
Yes this car is a 2020 e-Niro 4. Which will be discontinued at the end of the year. Orders are now being taken, and the first cars are arriving in the country as of late October for the 4+ Which is the car with heated outer rear seats, sunroof, memory driver seat and wing mirrors, blind spot detection , cross traffic alert, ventilated front seats and 11 kwatt AC charging capability. Maybe another review on the 4+ please.
Bit disappointed that you pretty much glossed over the heat pump aspect, quite a key feature in an EV, especially for those in cooler climates where the added efficiency/range is going to be noticeable.
@@WhichEV The section heading is “ACTIVE SAFETY & DRIVING DYNAMICS”, either way I think you missed an opportunity to explain the advantages of such a feature.
@@madm4tty No, agreed. As you'll see above, Kia sent us a 4 without really explaining it wasn't the car they will be selling going forward. Luckily, we based most of what we said around the online specs, and there are only a few differences between the 4 and the 4+.
Actually there are lots of differences sunroof, memory seat, heated rear seats, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert, led headlights, 11kw ac charger, ambient lighting, aluminium pedals, premium 8 speaker system, front parking sensors, intelligent speed limit warning, heat pump, just to mention a few, these came from the online spec sheet.
A good review. A few questions... Is there voice command control for sat nav, climate etc? Can the annoying tunes and touch tones be turned off? Can the rear seats actually fold totally flat? Does it have start/ stop traffic cruise control for town driving?
Thanks. Not sure about the voice commands specifically, but it does have Android Auto and Apple Car Play with Voice Control, or the touch tones (although we didn't find them particularly intrusive). The rear seats can go as flat as you see in the video. The cruise control does have Stop & Go so will do town driving.
On further reflection, the car we had WAS a 4. The 4+ just has a few more features (eg the rear heated seats and a sunroof). It's otherwise the same. Our review comments were based around the 4+ spec announced by Kia.

We totally agree. Brilliant car.
i have the kia E-niro 2020 advance plus tech model ( 4+ ) in sweden.i bought this year , 9K miles driven, happy to have this.

The Soul has more character, the e-Niro is more practical.
I have the same E-Niro since 2 month! Love that car! It is the coolest car I ever had.
It's a great car!
For the backseat passengers you can use the usb port in the center console - just attach a usb-cable that is long enough :-)
Of course. But it's not *quite* the same... ;^>
Excellent review. Have just subscribed. Looking forward to more EV reviews
Thanks so much! We have a bunch in the pipeline, including the Polestar 2!

Sure thing. We'll ask for one when the Kia press fleet has them.
Thank you for this great and thorough review.
And thank you for your kind words!
Good review,good luck on gaining more subscribers!
Thanks so much! We are still quite new but growing nicely.
not forgetting Eco + when you hold the drive mode button down for a few seconds
Yes! Very true.
Shame there's no 360 camera like you get in the Leaf, MG4 and ZS-EV.

Kia doesn't make much mention of it - and they do put it in the Safety section of their specification, which is really odd.

Great review, thanks. One question, the color of the e-niro is silky silver?
Yes, that's the base colour - "Silky Silver". We'd just call it silver, to be honest... :)
A good review.
A few questions...
Is there voice command control for sat nav, climate etc?
Can the annoying tunes and touch tones be turned off?
Can the rear seats actually fold totally flat?
Does it have start/ stop traffic cruise control for town driving?

The rear heated seat switch is next to the electric window switches.
Yes, on the 4+... which wasn't what they had actually sent us!
Is mg ms a good electronic car
Do you mean MG ZS? We don't know of an MG MS.
When you say 4 it should be 4+ a bit misleading. Otherwise a good review, I get my 4+ Tuesday.😀
Well, actually, the spec sheet we were sent by Kia said 4.
On further reflection, the car we had WAS a 4. The 4+ just has a few more features (eg the rear heated seats and a sunroof). It's otherwise the same. Our review comments were based around the 4+ spec announced by Kia.
Thanks for the content. Actually driver seems taller than me and usual so car appears as short and small🤗
It's because he's standing closer to the camera... and on a slight incline. In high heels.
Pretty good
Yeah, definitely recommended as an everyday do-it-all driver.
Hmm
Er, thanks?
