This probably pertains to all Kia Niro models but thought to mention it as it concerned my personal safety. From the factory I believe Kia set the doors to automatically unlock when the push button shut the car off. I found it concerning that no matter who was around the car this would happen. Fortunately Kia allows this to be changed in the settings menu controlled by the steering wheel mode button. The settings are in the “door” section. You then choose to turn off the automatic unlock function. The instructions are in the manual for this but I had missed it. I am sure some others have as well. The last thing a person wants is for the doors to unlock with potential threats nearby. We live in times where car jackings and other bad things are becoming more common. Keeping our safety buffering space can make the difference in a pinch.

Thanks for the post, and you are correct. It is one of the first things I changed after receiving my car in May 2019, except my 2019 Niro EV was set to unlock when putting the car in Park!!! I set mine to unlock when I power off the car, this way I can look around and decide when I want them to unlock by powering off the car. I do, however, live in a safe place. Thanks again for pointing this out, good catch 🙂

Yeah but the Flappy Padels behind the steering wheel adjust the regen levels while driving. Set to Auto and regen is adaptive based on conditions and terrain as the SatNav has information on the incline ahead which is also used during route calculation. For more economic driving and particularly highway driving use the lowest level of regeneration. Regeneration is far from 100% efficient at recovering the kinetic energy of the momentum whereas allowing the vehicle to coast uses almost all of the kinetic energy of your momentum to move the vehicle the losses only from aerodynamic and rolling resistance
@EV-olution
@EV-olution 5 жыл бұрын
@@barryhaeger4284 Actually, the auto regen setting adapts based on the radar at the front of the Niro EV. When the car is in Auto Regen and set to a lower level via the paddles (ex. 0 or 1), and the Niro EV approaches a vehicle, if the vehicle in front slows down the Niro will detect it, the symbol on the dash for the regen setting turns from white to blue, and the Niro adds more regen automatically to slow down. Also to note, it is still possible to use the paddles to adjust the regen to any setting (0, 1, 2, 3) when the car is in Auto Regen mode and it will work exactly the same as when the car is not in Auto Regen mode, with the addition of adaptive regen depending on something being detected by the radar.

I'll bet the sport mode is reset to normal as a safety issue. If you have two drivers and one has the skill to drive in sport mode and one does not, it might be a surprise to the unskilled driver when the car drives in sport mode and does something unexpected. Second maybe you can cover what that grill does in the luggage area on the drivers side. I noticed it when you were sitting in the back.

Regarding the grill on the driver side panel in the trunk, it is the subwoofer for the Harmon Kardon 8 speaker sound system. It sounds amazing. I had not thought of doing one, but I may do a video about it. I just wasn't sure how much time I can spend on that one thing. Maybe I will combine it with another feature of the car and make a short video. Thanks.

If you have something in the boot/trunk and you brake hard or have a front end crash, that something can break through the rear seats and join you in the front..... not good for your health! To prevent this, connect all the rear seat belts, even when not using them! There are KZbin videos somewhere of crash tests showing this happening!

I read about the mirror folding option for the Niro and was disappointed that it wasn’t working (I have the Canadian SX Touring). My previous BMW X1 had this feature and I got very used to it, as I parcelled park several times per day. Thanks for sharing! BTW it also works if the selector is first in R and then the toggle switch is put either in L or R. Putting the toggle switch back to the ‘middle’ while in R will put the mirrors back in their normal position.

Picked up my E-Niro in late Oct, n the Netherlands and I really like it, so far. Regarding this video, I might be missing something, or the s/w is different or updated, however when I press the Drive Mode button nothing changes on the infotainment screen. It only pops up on the instrument cluster showing what the mode is. There appears to be no options to adjust braking or climate control.

Thank you for following my channel. The 2020 with latest software has some differences as compared to my 2019 so it is possible that they have removed the touchscreen notification when changing drive mode. I actually disabled it in my car as it was not needed since I see it in the instrument cluster. It is possible that Kia decided to disable it by default, or remove it completely. As for the regen and climate strength settings for each mode, that should still be in the settings.

Question: I have a 2020 Niro PHEV and I do not like that it lacks an on/off button on the "Liftgate room lamp". The only way I know to turn off this light (other than pulling a fuse) is to close the latch with a screwdriver. One afternoon the rear hatch did not close completely, which kept the light on for a few hours. Fortunately, I noticed it when it got dark but it could have discharged the small 12V battery if it had been on longer. I tried prying on the light (via slots on top & end) to see if I could take it out and then add a switch but I'm afraid to break it. Do you know whether a special tool is req'd?

I did notice som differences from my 2021 e-niro. Side mirrors have the warning light behind the glass. Regen kan be set to auto with the flaps and the car remembers. Question, since I have the 2021 version the infotainment screen is bigger, and when I use android auto there is a lot of space that goes unused, is there a way to use this free space? Bigger map ect. When i switch from the built in nav to the radio the navigation disappears and when I try to go back I get an overview in stead of getting back to nav. I just want to be able to use both without having to fiddle with the screen. Is there a good way to watch youtube, netflix ect. When parked? Thanks for the features video😉

The 2020 through 2023 Niro EV (e-Niro in Europe) both have a 10.25" touchscreen in the higher trims. They also all have the smaller 8" screen in the lower trim. That is the big difference with the 2019 that I had where the biggest touchscreen was 8". Regarding Android Auto, it should occupy the entire screen if you have the setting to remove the Kia split screen. One thing to note though is that when you have AA taking the entire screen, not all apps allow for full screen use. Google Maps will use the entire screen, but ABRP only uses part of it so the AA split screen turns on and displays the Google media. I don't really use the built-in navigation so I am not sure about the situation you are describing, sorry. To watch Netflix while parked, or other video apps, you can look into an Android app called AAAD, but that was from a few years ago so I don't know if it still works. There are devices like the Carlinkit for wireless Android Auto and that lets you do anything. I hope this helps.

Hi there. FYI, my name is André, not Wayne. I did not get a charger with the purchase of my car as there was no promo at the time. I was one of the first to receive a Niro EV in Québec and the car was not even listed in the dealer system, let alone on ChargeHub. With that being said, you should buy a charger that is at least 30 amps if you want proper charging speeds and it is worth spending the price difference to get the Bosch 30amp. For my car I bought the Flo X5 smart EVSE since I wanted a Québec made product that looks good and was connected to the Internet so I could get charging reports and manage the EVSE remotely. I needed this for my business since I can't deduct gas expenses anymore.

I was offered a L2 charger by my dealer here in BC. A Bosch EV200. I was expecting a charger that would indeed recharge a full battery in under 10 hrs, in line with the owners manual and widely reported by the automotive press. Until my electrician pointed out that the offer was a 16A version which he claims to be not L2 for a Niro. Technically L2 charging is defined as 208-240V AC charging an EV battery in under 10 hrs, the typical down time during the night. For the Niro (and the new Soul as well) you will need a 30A model. I am still in conversation with the dealer who should pay for the 30A model as part of the deal I made when buying the car. Bosch will upgrade the 16A model offered by Kia to 30A with 25ft cable for about $350 (incl tax), at least that is what I was told last week.

If I put the front seat forward and measure from the back of the front seat to the back of the car it is 172cm long.

Nice informative videos. I have a Kona in the middle trim (Kona has 3 trim levels, I think Niro only has 2?). Anyway, from what I can tell the trick with the side mirror is Kia only, I see no mention of it in my Hyundai manual and it didn't work when I tried it. The manual also even says to return the control to the middle position to avoid inadvertently moving the mirrors while driving. Also, my car also does not have the "Smart Regeneration System" option (which you mentioned in the part 2 video, not this one above) , though that feature does appear to be present for the Ultimate trim level on the Kona (the manual says "for cars equipped with Smart Cruise Control System"). Oh well, at least the short cut for setting the Regen and climate defaults for each drive mode worked for me! I had previously found and set those through the regular menu, but this is quicker and simpler.

I purchased my Kia Niro EV in Nov 2019 and just found your KZbin channel. I’m really enjoying the information in your videos. I’d like to know more about the driving modes - comparisons especially sport mode. Also why wouldn’t I just keep the car in regen-3 all the time?
@EV-olution
@EV-olution 4 жыл бұрын
Good morning, I am happy you like my videos and thanks for subscribing! After having experimented with a few settings, I find the most energy efficient mode is 0 and using the paddles to activate regen when needed, at the level needed, then returning to 0 to continue driving. If you set the regen to 0 you will notice that you don't have to keep the accelerator pedal pressed all the time like when you are in mode 3, or 2, or 1. This means that you barely use any power to keep the car moving. If you drive in 1, 2, or 3 all the time you have to keep the pedal pressed to keep a steady speed. Regarding the modes, this is a question of preference, as well as how ecological you want to be for range. On a long trip I would suggest Eco, or Normal, and regen 0. For some fun I use Sport mode. Essentially the different modes will make the accelerator pedal more, or less, responsive. In Sport mode the accelerator pedal is very sensitive to input and you have access to all of the power from the first millimeter of a pedal press. When in Eco mode the pedal is more "sponge-like" and to access the full power you need to floor it. Normal is somewhere in the middle and what I use almost all of the time. I hope this helps. 🙂

@@EV-olution That is interesting. I only had my Nero EV for a few days, but I set the regen level to auto, as suggested by many forums and I quite like it. It's like engine braking with a gas car, I just lift my foot off the acc pedal and it slows down. It even knows if I'm quickly coming up on a slower car, then it decelerates more rapidly. I very rarely need to step on the brakes. It's a shame we can't do full one pedal driving. Although, people say you can pull the left paddle to fully stop the car, but that sounds weird (haven't tried it yet). Why does an EV have to be similar in behavior to a gas car? At least let us enjoy the benefits! I'd love to have "auto hold" on permanently and do one pedal driving... I don't fully understand how the electric system works, but I don't think it needs less power to keep the car running on lower level. It's just not going to auto-brake when you release the pedal. I'll try it though. I love the channel, very informative, great presentation! Keep it up!

​@@sly1024 I am glad you like my videos, thank you. The regen settings only really affect how much the car slows down when you come off of the accelerator pedal. The more the car slows down because of regen, the more power the car creates energy and puts it back into the battery. I agree that it would be nice to have Auto Hold persistent, I keep turning it on when I get in my car. Also, since this is an older video I have changed the way I drive my Niro a little bit. I like regen 0 and use the paddles if needed and use the left paddle to stop the car most of the time. I don't use Auto Regen because I find it is too sensitive to cars slowing down, specifically on the highway, or faster secondary roads. I have not put a video out in quite some time because my company has been keeping me very busy, but I do have some videos in the works. Stay tuned 🙂

You lose momentum while using lv 1,2, or lv 3 regenerative breaking. That energy is greater than the energy you can retake and put back into the battery. So its more ecologic and smooth to use LV 0 and breake when you need to, as it will activate the regenerative breaks anyway, unless you break too fast.( if you break too fast, its your disk brakes alone that do the breaking.)

Unfortunately there is no way to control the VESS volume on North American versions, including Canada, even though we don't have a VESS law.

Yep, it's weird to look at old videos and see that. FYI I had not posted a video in over 1 year, so my channel growth suffered. I just uploaded my first video in 14 months, a review of the Kia EV9 SUV. Thanks for watching this one, I appreciate it.

Eco ECO, NOT ECHO

As a French Canadian, "écologique" in French sounds more like echo. So when I speak in English I tend to say echo. I have a bit of an accent when I speak in English, sorry you don't like it.

I drive in Normal mode, and i say ECO mode is not so Ecological, as its not in LV 0 regenerative mode. All modes can be called ECHO when the VESS is active and your near a wall !

I am French Canadian and in French the word sounds more like "echo" and that is how I said it. If you don't like the way I speak, or my accent, you are free to not watch my videos.

That's rrrright laddie 😉. I am French Canadian and in French the word sounds more like echo than eeko, and that is why I pronounced it that way. Thanks for taking the time to watch my video, I appreciate it.
