2022 All New Kia Niro Review - 48.9mpg New Kia SUV is here!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

This is our 1st drive with the all new Kia Niro. Please smash the "LIKE BUTTON" if you are a Kia Niro fan, if not, let me know which one is your favorite hybrid SUV in the comment section! Thank you.

[@HaruHaruman]

Beautiful interior. The exterior is so much better than the previous gen as well. Overall a great improvement from the previous gen in all aspects.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, Haru Haru. The all new Kia Niro is big step forward. Thank you for enjoying our review.

[@Hans-gb4mv]

Well, not so convinced about that C-pillar 😅

[@richdc7654]

Im relieved you can get a matching C pillar. The contrasting one would be a dealbreaker for me. Im anxious to compare this to the Toyota Corolla Cross hybrid when they both come to the USA.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, we are given choice. Nice. Thank you for enjoying the all new Kia Niro review.

[@jordysong]

I was going to buy a corolla cross hybrid, I live in Australia, had my name down for one and a deposit paid I currently own a Corolla hybrid ZR and the corolla cross does not give you all the features my corolla has. This Niro has a lot more features then my Corolla ZR 21 model. I am purchasing this car, I love cars learn heaps about them the kia Niro IMHO is the better car then the corolla cross. I wanted to buy the Atmos model in the green color but they said no can buy the GXL I did not want the GXL why would I trade my car for a car with less features. This car the Niro Hybrid GT does have much more to offer

[@SoWeird4U]

Truly considering this car as my next purchase (when it comes to EU). Waiting for the Plug-in version for that "free" EV miles travel and more power.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, Gabriel. This all new Kia Niro is larger, but lighter and more efficient. Thanks.

[@WinkelHoof]

The Niro PHEV is very popular here in Sweden. I never liked the design of the previous version but this…wow, so much better both exterior and interior. The back end design is a little ”Volvoish” in a good way. I almost want one for myself and Im a Mercedes guy…

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, Now, Kia Niro is not ugly anymore. LOL. Thanks.

[@merillo5]

I just survived a total loss accident in my 2019 Niro. This car Saved my life !!!!! I want another Kia

[@AsianPetrolhead]

OMG, are you okay?

[@AlbertoMorales]

Body color matching is my choice too!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Me, too. Thank you Alberto for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.

[@kenwarburton2578]

Looks to be a nice car Charlie. I prefer the colour matched C pillar, but I do not like the rear indicators being positioned so low, but this is Kia style.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, me, too, Ken. But if you want something special, you can get it with contrasting C-pillar. Thanks for enjoying the 1st drive with the all new Kia Niro.

[@perfect2the2ndpower]

Every feature that you pointed out is controversial to others is a feature that I love and think gives the vehicle a great personality and appeal. Thanks for your review. Looking forward to future coverage.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, hope to give you more in-depth review of this all new Kia Niro when we get it as a press car. Thanks.

[@koonYwong]

I love the size and room of my 2006 Kia spectra 5 but probably need an upgrade soon. I like the look and tech of this new Niro and just little bit larger than the spectra 5, hopefully its not too expensive on pricing when it comes to the US.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, hope you guys get this 2nd generation all new Kia Niro soon in N. America. Thanks Gerald.

[@ELP1125]

I like it, looks futuristic, but not too polarizing. I see Kia is a fan of different angle shapes for their DRLs lately

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, Eric. This new Kia Niro looks much better compared to the previous generation. Thanks.

[@seniorbaka]

Thank you for showing the other models with the matching c-pillar color. It makes the car look much better than the contrasting ones. That white one with the matching c-pillar doesn't look bad at all.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, I really wanted to show you both the body color matching and contrasting c-pillar. Thank you seinorbaka for enjoying the Kia Niro review.

[@ppc1313]

Thanks for the review! 360 camera, hybrid and multi link rear suspension, my next car! Perfect for European roads and traffic!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, this all new Kia Niro comes with multi link at the rear. Thanks. ppc1313.

[@davidturner9860]

I don't think it actually has a 360 camera. If you watch this POV video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/noibfZeQo8SWrJo), you can see that when the driver puts the car in reverse, the back-up camera pops up on the screen, and when the driver puts it in drive, the screen still shows the back-up camera. Those of us who own Kia/Hyundai products with a 360 camera know that when you select "drive", you get a front camera view on the screen. Also, if you scrutinize all the various walk-around videos, there's no characteristic camera "bump" on the bottom of the side mirrors, nor is there a camera in the front grille. (Granted, they could use the camera in the top of the windscreen, but that wouldn't blend well with a 360 camera system.) All that being said, the walk-around videos do seem to show the presence of front ultrasonic sensors, and the wedges in front of the car on the camera screen hint that it may have front parking sensors. Edit: Another POV video demonstrates the RSPA function, which also implies a front parking sensor (kzbin.info/www/bejne/npPZZH6qZ8l0itk).

[@richardpeters4148]

White and body matching color looks the best.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, Richard. My personal choice would be white with the body color matching c-pillar. Thanks for enjoying the Kia Niro review.

[@dgl7347]

Nice car I had the old hybrid model very reliable and great quality the brake pads and disk 💿 service at 130 000 miles no joke best car for money. Next for me is Niro full electric red interior yes you can choose the interior color 👍

[@AsianPetrolhead]

yes, Kia Niro is efficient and reliable hybrid SUV. Thanks dgl.

[@LongEarthTradingCompany]

Ordered a 2023 Kia Niro EV today, looks s much better than the previous model. And the specs are definitely better value for the money compared to the EV6.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Wow, congratulations on your new order. Yes, this 2022 all new Kia Niro looks miles better. And here is our 2 day long efficiency test with new Kia Niro. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmeqpmSBd7-bY8k

[@kelvinnorton8776]

Thank you for taking the time to show us the 2022 Kia Niro. The cockpit/drivers area looks very much like the new Kia EV6. The rear tail lights remind me of those on a Honda CR-V. Overall, I very much like the new look. I may even trade in my Honda Accord for this.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, the interior looks very similar to Kia EV6. Thank you for enjoying the New Kia Niro review.

[@robert5008]

It looks better than before. I will wait for the BEV model to come out before considering it. Thanks for the video.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Welcome Robert. Yes, this all new Kia Niro is a big step forward for Kia. Thanks Robert!

[@l.e.i.4111]

I prefer color marching. Very useful review. Thank you!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Me, too lulian. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.

[@mikadavies660]

I would like to see the contrasting C Pillar as an option in colours... Not just black. So it could look a bit funky.... (orange, red etc). Looking forward to the new eNero.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, I would love to give you update on on the eNiro soon, too. Thank you for enjoying the Kia Niro review.

[@Collwila]

Very handsome exterior especially withe body colour C pillar. On the all white model I liked the way the rear lights are highlighted on the side profile. Great looking interior and I'm glad they integrated the infotainment into the complete dashboard. I also like that thick padded steering wheel. Looks really comfortable. Also glad they didn't make a tiny engine to the hybrid system

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, Bill. i like the white one. Thank you for enjoying the Kia Niro review.

[@moongu]

Wish Hyundai/Kia would move away from Piano Black from all their vehicles. It appears luxurious but after 1 week, dust is visible and is a scratch magnet. Matte surfaces FTW!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, I agree. Thank you Moon for enjoying the Kia Niro review.

[@TassieEV]

Looking forward to the EV version later this year hopefully you'll review it in full at that time as well. You should test the lane keep assist similar to Bjorn to find out what happens say if the driver passes out for any reason, does it just switch off which is dangerous or is it smart like Mercedes as Bjorn has just proven on the EQA which keeps the car in the lane and safely and slows the car down. Is the Apple Carplay/Android Auto wireless as Kia said it would be? Is there less piano black in the new facelift edition, hoping so?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, Hope to show you the all new Kia Niro in more detail. But this looks pretty promising.

[@a.b.5884]

Is it certain that the Kia Niro will be available as an EV version ? So a new e-niro ?

[@Gravey91]

@@a.b.5884 Yes Kia already confirmed it and will be available a few months after the HEV

[@patricknl7845]

This is probably going to be my next car when I'm going electric!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Well, hybrid is also very nice with the all new Kia Niro. Thanks Patrick.

[@portraitonetelo1897]

No one does reviews as concise and complete as yourself. My go to channel if I need more info on a car. As for the Niro, it seems like a very good small suv complete with all bells and whistles. However personally, I don't quite like the front and rear light clusters. It would be nice if they can streamline them like the Germans/Audi etc. Never been a fan of the aquarium type front light clusters. The rear bumper styled turn signals / reverse lights are no good too as they are harder to notice by taller vehicles moreover, prone to quick damage in an accident. Hope, Kia will update its designs in time to come and move away from clunky designs. Other then that car looks nice.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thank you so much for your support! We will keep it coming. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.

[@adamkiddle]

Hey Charlie, have you ever been asked for a collab with Fully Charged? You'd offer a fantastic Korean insight to the development of EV transportation from a country that is the envy of many around the world! Keep up the great work Charlie! 👍

[@AsianPetrolhead]

not yet Adam. But i would love to collab with Fully Charged. They are EV car experts! Thanks for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.

[@nelsonsimson5835]

Will go for either combination or not for the C pillar, both looks good for my eyes 👍

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Hi Nelson. Yeah, if you want something more radical, i think you will like the contrasting C-pillar. thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.

[@nelsonsimson5835]

@@AsianPetrolhead Yes, can see Kia is introducing something new in most of their cars nowadays and still giving out option to choose and yeah why not..☺️

[@binaryblog]

I'm glad its a normal hybrid and not useless MHEV. I know PHEV is also optional but imo the best solution is just a normal hybrid system like in Toyotas.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

yes, this hybrid is very great alternative to full EV. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.

[@alexanderdeburdegala4609]

I love the 2 spoke steering wheels. They are soo much more comfortable, they let you hold the steering wheel at the bottom easier which is much better for your back and shoulders. I also prefer the look

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, Alex. It's not handsome design, but it is really comfortable to use. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.

[@midnitestate]

Yeah there alot more relaxing to just out one or both hands on the bottom on long drives I actually miss it

[@evets1976]

Love the Contrast C Pillar.... I'll call it the blade

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Wow, nice. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.

[@colinrenfrew48]

If Audi can use a contrast in the R8 and Q2, in the blade and rear pillar….why not Kia? I like the contrast as it distinguishes the dark. Nice job!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yeah, agree. I think more stylish people will like the contrasting C-pillar. Thanks for enjoying the Kia Niro review.

[@MrKirbstaroz]

Very nice car. It will be on the shopping list when it arrives on my shore. I don't mind the new design of the rear pillar but it has to be the original colour.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, hope you guys get this all new Kia Niro soon in your area! Thanks. Kirby

[@cuelinarnolds8941]

I am chas Changing my kia next year from the proceed to either the new sportage or this new Niro...can't wait to test drive both but this video is making me indecisive as I love both cars. Going to be difficult to choose as they are both stunning 😍

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Envy you so much for having Kia Proceed. We don't have Proceed here in KOrea. Yes, many are comparing the Kia Sportage against Kia Niro. If you want more power, then you should go with Kia Sportage, better efficiency, then you should go with Kia Niro. Thank you Cuelin!

[@piterpl2732]

[@hankthetank185]

Happy New Year Charlie, thank you so much for showing us the new Kia Niro. I must say the suspension sounds quite crashy and loud? I like the dual use paddles and how it recognises green zones.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Happy New Year Hank. Well, suspension for the all new Kia Niro isn't too harsh. Yes, I do love the dual function of paddle shifters. Thanks.

[@amigajoe]

Since it sounded an alert and had a visible red alert on the side mirror when the turn indicator was used, it seems that the car DOES have blind spot monitoring. Perhaps it just doesn’t put the alert up on the mirror if the turn indicator isn’t touched, like most cars do. I suspect that there’s an option in settings to change that.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Well, it does the blind spot alert system, (yellow + sound alert on the side mirror), but it does not have blind spot monitoring system (showing the blind sport image on the gauge cluster). Thank you for enjoying the New Kia Niro review.

[@gregkramer5588]

Body color matching for sure!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, Greg me, too. Thank you for enjoying the Kia Niro review.

Thanks Charlie from this video. I like the dashboard of the new 2022 Kia Niro dashboard. Black background frame.👍🏼😉

[@AsianPetrolhead]

yes, the new Kia niro has so much better and feeling interior compared to the previous model. Thanks Henrik.

[@VAMJJ]

It looks nice compared to my 2019 Kia Niro plug in. What I don't like about mine is the hesitation when you accelerate from a stop in electric mode. I hope they improved that. I think I'll wait for the new Sportage which I thinks looks much nicer. I need to replace my 2012. Nice Video Charlie -

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Um... I think it is improved, I never directly tested going full EV hard start, but didn't see any problem overall driving this new Kia Niro! Thanks.

[@BeeJ87]

Now I'm debating between this and the new Sportage hybrid. I just wish the Sportage had the HUD as well

[@AsianPetrolhead]

I would say with 1.6Turbo Sportage hybrid feels quicker, but this all new Kia Niro is so much more efficient. Thanks.

[@misccarvids]

I like this. I like how it looks without the two tone, IMO better than the 1st gen. I wonder if they will make a 2nd gen Ioniq Hybrid on this platform 🤔

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, i like it with the body color. Thank you for enjoying the Kia Niro review.

[@FlowFuzz]

I'm really enjoying your reviews! Great job! One quick question for you as an expert: what do you think the battery size / range could be for the pure electric variant? I think Kia won't want to challenge their own EV6 on specs, so I wonder what your thoughts would be on that.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

This is a hybrid, so the battery size is really small compared to something like EV6. But since this is hybrid, you don't have to think about range anxiety. So, you should think about according to your life style. Thank you for enjoying the Kia Niro review.

[@philipstromberg]

@@AsianPetrolhead I think he meant what you think the battery size and range will be for the 100% EV Niro that's also coming, not this hybrid version :)

[@Tugennov]

Seats? How would you describe the seats? Soft, firm, supportive? I have back issues and need firm and supportive seats. Thanks for the thorough video!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Seats are comfortable. I should say supportive. We went for a long range review with the all new Kia Niro, so check this out, too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmeqpmSBd7-bY8k

[@clayvinlunsford9697]

YES! I’ve been looking for a super practical small hybrid with a hatch that isn’t a Prius. This is a small suv but close enough for me, especially since I won’t be driving a hybrid very hard. My previous car I had my sights set on was a Toyota Avalon, even if it isn’t super practical with a sedan trunk. Can’t wait for these to be released here in America☺️ (also note: I live in hot climate so ventilated seats are a must too)

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, this new Kia Niro is a lot more spacious and easy to see out of compared to Prius. Hope to give you efficiency test soon. Thanks Clayvin.

[@fongy200]

Just ordered this exact model in Runway red. It's for my wife i think she's going to be made up. We were going to have a CHR but we were told they weren't taking orders at the moment, cars were being waited on and we would have been at the back of the que. Also looked at the Mitsubishi Eclipse, compared to the Niro there was no contest. What you get for your money is superb. A lot of car and a lot of after service. Kia are knocking it out of the park at present. Can't wait to pick it up in 2 weeks. I'm in the UK. Your review would have sold me one anyway lol.

Love your reviews and we actually leased a 2020 Niro Hybrid Touring SE here based on the first video I watched on you tube which happened to be yours a year or so ago. We love it and like the updates Kia has done to this new model. Do not like the contrast rear panel and also noticed there is no longer a small side window behind the rear doors which looks like it creates more of a blind spot. Can't wait to see them in person, wonder when they are debuting? Cheers

Hi Charlie. Another great video. I prefer the color match. I wish Kia had more color choices. Also, I don't care for the back signal lamps being low. What trim level was this supposed? Have a great day. Roger

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Hi Roger. This Kia Niro (trim levels are named differently regionall) is fully loaded; the top spec model. Thank you.

[@henrikkoukku2896]

I think the C-pillar should be the same color as the roof and there is a chrome or glossy black strip on the edge of the roof. 🤔

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, I would choose the new Kia Niro with body color matchign c-pillar.

Who is the designer? It doesn’t look like karim habib’s style.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Well, I think Karim Habib looked over it, but yeah, i think it is designed by another designer. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.

Thanks alot Iam really enjoying your video’s Let me ask you if you don’t mind do we have a full leather because I order one but they told me there no full leather like old Niro?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, I don't think Kia Niro comes with full leather inside.

[@treevdl]

Can you tell me how you experienced the seats? I like the model, the outside as well as the inside. In Holland we are not yet able to see and feel the car in real life.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Well, I drove the car for long time doing range test (please refer to this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmeqpmSBd7-bY8k) and it felt comfortable.
