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

@davidturner98602 жыл бұрын
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).

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.

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.

I’m glad I got the 2022 Kia Niro Hybrid in the Steel Grey color. The newer model seems like it was half planned and they took certain features away which is kind of offsetting for some people. But let’s see how they sell 👍🏻

I'm not a big fan at all of body cladding, so the contrasting C-pillar is for me a kind of body cladding metastasis . At least, we can say that they try something different .

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!

This is a really sharp design. I like the different colour pillar. Just make the colour close to the main colour. eg dark grey with a dark blue that just a little lighter than the grey. How does the size of this car compare to the Ioniq 5 Charlie?

I would say Kia Niro has better headroom, but legroom wise IONIQ 5 has better legroom. thank you Kevin for enjoying the new Kia Niro review.

I did 400 mile in it at 74 mph for most of the journey it was quite windy and it achieved 50.6 uk gallons. I was just wondering if the new on is more efficient. Quite liked the car if I was been critical the umber support in the seats could a little better and road noise was a little high on some road surfaces. Sadly we don’t have musical road marking unlike you do in South Korea. If the new model has improved my two little
