Definitely get the SX top trim! My 2021 Niro PHEV is awesome! Truly the best of both worlds. No it is not a race car but the dual clutch transmission with sport mode is efficient and fun to drive. It has driver’s seat memory is power adjustable. Plus the front seats are heated and ventilated and full leather seats all around. The car is easy to get in and out of both front and rear seats, and easy to park and drive around the city, very solid on the highway, with lots of space in the back, plus roof racks and cross bars. I like the regular sunroof (not pano), and the understated styling helps this very cool car blend in. I added on a block heater for winter and rain guards for summer. The regular tinted windows are perfect. The sixteen inch wheels give a better ride and fuel economy than the larger wheels. The intelligent cruise control is my favourite feature. The dual zone AC is great and I like having buttons to push. The dual digital instrument panels give a ton of programmable information and again… blend in. Not like other cars that have an iPad stuck on the dash… I could go on, but you get the picture.

When you got to the part about the electric oil pump I knew I wasn't going to be buying this car. That's the problem with cars these days they try to get fancy and cheaper with things like oil pumps, I worked on BMW's for a while and I was replacing a lot of electric water pumps and I really found them a bad design and a weak point of that brand.

Update: One Month Later... I took a test drive and THIS will be my next vehicle!! Oh, and this is the first video review where the rear taillight "blades" are color matched. Not a fan of the black trim as I prefer the vehicle to be monochrome on the outside. The interior is very comfortable and I drive so little, the EV mode will last me 3 days on average!!!! 1st Comment: I drive a 2022 Hyundai Kona and wish the new Kona had a hybrid version in the U.S. But this Kia PHEV may fit the bill for my needs and will definitely check out one live later this year before locking in my decision for my next leased SUV. Do I get another Kona? Do I go KIA? I did look at Toyota but pretty much ruled out a Toyota hybrid due to availability and dealership add-ons!

@JohnTheCarExplorer9 ай бұрын
So I just checked. 25.3 seats up and 54.4 seats down. So technically it beats it with the seats up by a bit but the soup beats it by a little seats down. However it’s also about 5k more than the soul so it’s something to weight. The trax would be a better comparison and that car has very similar cargo room and it only MSRP 20k.

I'm 81 years old and don't have an issue with the gas cover lever. This car is also super quiet in fact its the quietest of all vehicles in this classification. yeah 52.2db at 55mph. I was surprised at quiet it was the first time I drove it. It also has more than enough acceleration to merge with throughway speed which is all one really requires. In fact its has about the same 0-60 speed that my 1966 Chrysler 300 had! Tell you what for the $$ you ain't gonna beat this vehicle. BTW I did get the technology package (a $500 option) because I needed blind side detect which it normally does not have. I don't use any of the other functions such as lane hold assist. yeah I know how to drive without that! I did try it though and it works very surprisingly well but I would never trust it. Yep I'll stay with using my eyeballs.

Sadly no, the S does not come with a sun / moon roof. You start getting the sun / moon roof at the X-line EX trim.
@xavierguillen6389 ай бұрын
I am sorry, but this is incorrect . I just bought an S with the complete sunroof (all the way back to the second row ), but it was part of a package. So you are able to get trim S with sunroof and is totally worth it and shouldn't really mess up your pricing.
@TheJohnZangari9 ай бұрын
@@xavierguillen638I’ve done recent research and you’re right. For some reason dealerships are getting both sun roof s trims and non sunroof models. It’s really weird because on the Kia builder it doesn’t come as an option. As always check with your local dealer for what they can get you.
