I have a 2021 Kia Niro SX Touring PHEV in Canada and absolutely love this car. Perfect for my needs.

That interior looks like a nice place to be. A logically layed out interior with conventional equipment that we are familiar with is nice to see.

Great car. Good for 6' 4" person, spacious; good pedal distance for large feet !! Smooth ride. My Niro LXS is getting 55 mpg after 350 miles so far. No worries about plugging-in on the road. Battery rechargers upon braking.

Thank you very much indeed! Yes, I did notice the regenerative braking when I drove it. The fuel economy of these is excellent, and they are very spacious.

Another great review Gentleman, looks good in white with a black spoiler, this is a car I am hoping to get a review at some point in the future to compare with the Ioniq I drove nearly a year ago.

Yes sir, I have also driven an Ioniq absolutely ages ago, would be interesting to have another go in one again. Glad you enjoyed the video, Mr Watters!

17:20 for a few extra money, KIA NIRO COMES WITH A FULL SIZED SPARE WHEEL... and the space in the back is large enough, believe me... 4 people's luggage cand fit there...

Lovely looking car, nice review. 🙂 Question: I`m still learning about electric and hybrid cars. Why would anyone chose a plug in hybrid model over a conventional hybrid one? 🤔
@lloydvehicleconsulting2 жыл бұрын
Well sir, if you want to know about Plug-In Hybrids, you may find tomorrow's video enlightening.... The Niro is an excellent standard hybrid car, though!

Thank you for watching! Sadly, I only had this particular opportunity to film the car, right in the middle of an 800 mile road trip, hence why there were lots of personal effects in it.

I'm looking at buying either one of these or a hybrid Hyundai Kona. Can anyone give advice ? Has anyone experience of both ? Self charge model I'm thinking of
@lloydvehicleconsulting2 жыл бұрын
The powertrain is identical. Many of the parts are identical as they share the same platform. However, this is more spacious than the Kona, has a longer warranty, feels slightly better made, and has a bigger boot. I filmed a Kona on the channel a long time ago, and I have driven one too, and they don't feel very different.

My ten pennyworth, as a technology dinosaur: these are just my opinions, after all :-). To be fair, I have similar feelings about ALL modern cars of this ilk. Positives: The car has a relatively nice-looking exterior. The fuel economy is very good. It seems that you found it very good to drive. Negatives: The car will not age gracefully. There are far too many electronic devices. They WILL, as you know, fail. When they do fail the user won't be able to fix them. Diagnostics and trouble-shooting will need to be done by specialist people and specialist equipment. The interior is unremittingly black, gloomy and totally devoid of what I would call "organic" charm. Unavoidable patina of the interior, when it develops, will similarly be unattractive compared to that exhibited by more "natural", traditional counterparts, such as those using leather, textiles and wood. The shiny black surfaces will be dirt and grease magnets. There is no spare wheel. Where is the conventional battery? Out of sight can mean out of mind. As ever, I DO thank you for a good review.
@lloydvehicleconsulting2 жыл бұрын
Thank you, sir! The 12V battery is under the back seat, we had to look it up... A lot of the things you mention about the car are pretty common amongst many makes and models these days. You are right about the electronics requiring specialist equipment and expertise, however the many safety and emissions standards modern cars have to meet, as well as consumer demand, means that they end up having to be a certain way. This is not to everyone's taste, but it is what the manufacturers themselves have to be mindful in terms of making cars that people will buy, even if there a good few out there would really prefer more "traditional" models.
