Tesla Model Y vs Kia Niro EV

How does the Telsa Model Y compare to the Kia Niro EV now that I have driven my Niro for over 2 years? In this video I show you a side-by-side comparison as well as my impressions on acceleration, handling, and road noise, among other things. The Tesla Model Y was on my want list when I ordered my Niro EV in 2018, but it was not available at the time, so this video is a great way for me to explore and share what I missed and did not miss.
A big thank you to Patrick Beauchamp for letting me use his Model Y to make this video, I really appreciate it.

Just traded my 2018 Niro PHEV in and picked up my 2020 Niro EV yesterday. It was brought from another dealership and they had to put about 120 miles on my car to get it there and after I drove it for a few errands and got it home it was at 65%. After giving it a full charge on a level 2 unit it listed its range at 289. I drove it 26 miles today while using regen 3 in eco mode and it was showing 273 miles left. Thought that was very impressive. I very much appreciate your channel and can say it helped influence me to go full EV as range anxiety was keeping me from doing this. Thank you for all your hard work and great reviews as it was very valuable in my decision.

Congrats. My mother and me both have a tesla model 3 and after my brother couldn't get a model y I recommended niro ev. He's extremely happy with it.

[@mikeberger3013]

Good review! I got my Kia Niro EV for $28,500 after tax rebate out the door. My friend just got the long range Tesla Y for just under $60k out the door. For the price 13 cu ft of storage 1 foot of room and 90 miles more on a charge to me wasn't worth more than $30k or 2x the price. These 2 cars are in a different class. Please explain that while you are sitting in the extra trunk space next time. You due do a good job with all the details in your review. Ty You are the first youtuber I am a subscriber to. Keep it up

[@EV-olution]

Thank you for the info and thank you for subscribing, I really appreciate it. As for sitting in the trunk, I should have done it 😂. In the video I compared the Standard Range version of the Model Y, not the Long Range, and the Model Y SR was actually less expensive than the Niro EV SX Touring so the comparison is pretty fair. The claimed ranges are also comparable with the Niro EV having 1km more at 385km claimed, but the Niro EV easily gets over 400km on one charge on a regular basis, and beats out the Model Y SR because Tesla claimed ranges are optimistic. Thanks again for subscribing and the Niro EV was a great choice, congratulations 😎.

[@camrodger5381]

When I first got my MY I was having a difficult time with the lack of buttons. For instance, opening the glove box. But I quickly realizes that almost everything can be done by voice control. Press the right button on the steering wheel and say open glove box. No need to stretch across the car, spill your ice coffee, and search with your fingers for the small latch to eventually open the glove box. Or say open hatch, or open frunk, or open charge port, or turn on drivers seat warmer to medium…..you get the point. Almost no need to ever take your eyes off the road. Also, every switch that is deleted removes three points of potential failure….the micro switch within the switch, and a wiring connector on either end of the wire connecting the switch to the ECU. Thanks for another great video.

[@EV-olution]

Thanks for the information and I agree with you, but my comment about buttons comes more from a space where I think of other people, like my wife and not myself. Teslas will never be a car that my wife would buy because she is not technically inclined in any way. Think of her as being an 8 track tape whereas I am online streaming 😎. So if the car is too far from "normal" in terms of use, like opening the glove box, it becomes an issue for some people. My wife's comfort zone is her 2019 Kia Soul EV, with a regular shifter on the console and basic features; when she drives my Niro EV she very much dislikes the LKA and other tech included, so there is no way she would drive a Tesla, which is a shame because they are great. I hope that explains where my comment is coming from in a more clear way 😎

@@yaniklandry-ducharme6877 I don't know what it would cost to replace a fan either but I can certainly vouch that it will cost double insuring a M3 than it would insuring a KIA Niro EV. It's due to proprietary nonsense by Tesla. You can only go to Tesla to have your car repaired. Their labor rates, and their parts. They refuse to give out parameters for parts so other manufacturers can make them to cut the costs. Want to make Musk even richer and more smug than he is already buy a Tesla.

If only we could get the model Y at Niro prices here in the UK. The Niro is readily available at around £30,500 with a good discount making the Niro at least £15,000 cheaper and that simply cannot be ignored. I'd love the Y but as I'm a taxi driver here in the UK (currently running a 2018 leaf for work) my next BEV would have to be the Niro. Cheers

HI Andre, I am with you 100%. If the Model Y was an option at the time when the Niro EV hit the Canadian shores (Apr 2019) I may have picked the Model Y (the Model 3 was too small for me). However I am still very happy with the Niro, don't regret the decision not to wait, and probably going to keep it for many more years. BTW I rather have a few buttons more ;-) then a few too little.

[@mikehedrick6544]

Nice comparison of the two vehicles. Availability of vehicle choices is a deciding factor when the need arises for a purchase for me. I still like all of the buttons in my Niro EV and I prefer the dash layout, gauges, and the display of the Niro. I plan on keeping my Niro EV for a few more years as I am very satisfied with it and it has met my expectations. A rolling cover for a large glass roof top would be my preference. I’m sure there will be many more choices in a year or two. André, I really appreciate your videos!!!

One of the things I like THE MOST about my Niro EV are all the physical buttons in the cockpit. I like to be able to do things with a push of a button. Not looking for everything in a menu on a screen. That would drive me NUTS and I'd probably sell the car soon. Like the a/c and radio and stuff. Seat heater and heating of the steering wheel. Yeah I just like my most common buttons within grasp 👍

[@EV-olution]

I like buttons as well. The Tesla has gone too far in removing them, to my liking, but I found the Niro EV has far too many (73 to be exact 😎). In my video about the things I hate about my Niro EV, it is one of the things I show. I like my EV6 because it is a good middle ground between too many and not enough. The nice thing is there are different cars with different things to make each of us happy 😎. Thanks for taking the time to watch my video.

Great comparison! To your comment / wishes about having more buttons - and dont deal with the touch screen: in many cases you dont have to; press right button on the steeringwheel - and say: open glovebox,, turn on the wipers,, adjust volume to 7,, navigate to starbucs,, And so it goes👍🇳🇴

Good comparison thanks. The e-Niro is a great car and I love mine but its last generation and not designed from the ground up as an EV. A fairer comparison to the Model Y would be the upcoming Hyundai Ioniq 5 or Kia EV6 which I think will provide stiffer competition for the Model Y

[@EV-olution]

Thank you, and I agree. I mention the fact that the Niro is not a ground up BEV in the video, but there are many people who were interested in seeing this comparison. Both the Ioniq 5 and EV6 are still not on Canada, but I will get to them when the opportunity arrives 😎

[@kiae-nirodiariesencore4270]

Another great review, though it would have been interesting for you to have had the Y for longer to see how it compared in real world efficiency and range. IMO this is a bit of an apples/oranges comparison in terms of size and price. We don’t have the Model Y in Europe yet but the standard range is likely to be about €10,000 more expensive than the e-Niro. The Y is a desirable car and a whole category of size bigger, I would see the Kia EV6 as more of a competitor in that respect. As I’m retired I am in for the long haul with the e-Niro as I doubt another new car would ever be on the cards. The more I drive it the more I like it and realise what good value it is (now on 44,000 km)...but of course the tech is moving so fast that its charging speed for one thing is already looking old...then again so am I!

[@EV-olution]

Merci beaucoup and I agree that the Model Y is a different vehicle, but there are many people who consider both the Niro and the Y, like I did, when I was shopping. Since there are no size comparison videos anywhere it can be difficult for people to imagine what they are like and that is the reason that I made the comparison. For those who are visual like me stats and numbers are of little use, but seeing the vehicles together makes things clear. Regarding the Standard Range version of the Y, it seems that there are none left to be had and it really is discontinued. I just found this out yesterday. As for the EV6 and Ioniq 5, as soon as I can get my hands on them I will definitely be making videos about them 😎. Merci encore.

@@UncleTonyshotsauce I suspect you are right. The only thing constraining Tesla sales now is production capacity and the range of models they have but by the end of this decade there is no doubt that their sales volumes will be up there with the biggest and some OEMs will drop out or be much smaller as Tesla take sales from them. Not only is the ICE a dead technology, the sales model of the old OEMs is toast...just take oil changes as an example...with 35 million cars on the roads the UK spends about £3.5 billion on oil changes over year..probably more as the average price of an oil change is £114..and most people don’t do them themselves!.....that’s a lot of labout no longer needed...there will be a lot of unemployment as we no longer need so many mechanics...Tesla are a true disrupter taking us towards a cleaner future.

It will depend on your use case, but from what you mention I think the Ioniq 5 will suit your needs better. It has a hight roofline and more space in the rear than the EV6. The EV6 is more sporty and driver oriented though. You will really have to try both to know for sure.

People complaining about no access to the Tesla glovebox ignore several things. How often are you actually in your glovebox? Maybe just me, but hardly ever in the glovebox. If you need to access the glovebox, simply use voice command and say “open glovebox”. Everyone ignores the fact that a thief can’t get into the glovebox because there is no external access. You can even PIN protect the glovebox. On the current Model Y and 3, the Sentry Cam flash drive is located in the glovebox which prevents any thief or vandal from stealing the recorded evidence of their crime. So the glovebox has no button or latch, big deal.

[@EV-olution]

I access my glovebox 3 or 4 times per week. I am often in my car and my glovebox stores lots of things that I use regularly, as does my central console storage. This is a personal thing and the reason I mention it in the video. For other people it won't be an issue, but that is the reason that I say "I would prefer more buttons" in the video, this is not a directive telling everyone they should have more buttons, just what I would like for myself. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it.

[@EV-olution]

The basic question is... What are your needs? Hatchback, or sedan? AWD required, or is FWD/RWD ok? More passenger room needed, or not? What is the budget? EVs today have lots of range and speedy charging, and there is a nice selection, especially if your can wait a few months because new models are going to ship. Once your answer the basic questions then you can start picking an EV.

[@AzizIzgin]

​@@EV-olution budget is around 430-46000Euro (Sweden has a climate bonus of 7000euro when buying a new car) The car is meant for the family, to kids (13 and 16years) and a small dog. We do not need awd nor hatchback but of course it would be nice. I'd prefer rwd for a change since I'm used to fwd from owning a volvo v70. I prioritize (but is not a must) to have good comfort and overall good user experience (infotainment and sunroof etc) and a good charging netwoork with hassle free charging. We will be charging at home mostly, we take longer trips 1-3 times a year within Sweden(mostly). So the only must have I can think of is maybe adaptive cruise control and some kind of autopilot. I like the "safety features that cars offer and camera features ... I have been reading and doing some research on the m3 but I'd like someone else objective perspective... I mean I feel sometimes like I'm being brainwashed from all the commercials and other rewiewers trying to promote a certain kind car so I am also opening my eyes on for example the id3/id4. To be honest, the m3 ticks almost every box of features I want. In the beginning I was looking for range, what car could go the furthest in my budget on highway10-80% battery at speeds between 110-130kmph? I really love the infotainment system they have and how snappy it is , cause according to me that gives you the overall user experice, that and the panorama sun roof.... The cons I have red are the loud noise inside the car at least compaired to ps2 and id4 and that the seats are pretty hard during longer trips. Tesla is maybe not the best car built but it is the best EV imo. Insurance in Sweden is pretty hard too. They have a system where the price goes up radically the fourth year , so either pay or swap cars every three years haha... Regarding the price and model, I have read about the new battery standard from the m3 MIC sr+ but am a bit worried about it in cold winters, so maybe a used 2019-2020 LR is then a better choice for less money. Prices in Norway are so low I really can't believe it :) sorry for babbling but any thoughts would be nice. Should I just wait and not buy one?

[@EV-olution]

The Model 3 is a good choice especially since there are many used ones available in your market. There are not many choices for RWD EVs so the ID models or the Model Y are the only real choices that I can think of in the size, price and battery range.

Lots of detail about length, overhang, wheelbase etc but did I miss the width information? - We have narrow parking spaces in UK so this is a factor for us.

Good point, you did not miss it. Since both cars have similar width, with the Model Y being 3 inches wider, I forgot to mention it. Good catch, I will be sure to include that in my next comparison video. Thank you 😎

[@MrDuncl]

We are only just beginning to see Model Ys in the U.K. I was surprised how big it looked. Not a good thing in a country with parking spaces marked out for Ford Anglias (check Harry Potter to see what that is). There is a good reason the Ford F150 doesn't get sold here. The Niro looks to be a far more practical size.

[@EV-olution]

I agree, the Model Y is not designed for European streets, just like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 which are bigger than the Niro EV.

[@chrishyde1216]

Here in the UK, especially in towns, roads and parking spaces are not wide and for our purposes (we don't usually need the extra width) I regard extra width as a negative. Also, the extra power is great but how often is it used and how does it affect efficiency? Longevity, reliability and after care service are important to me. I'm unsure about Tesla longevity and it's an important question given the high cost of these cars. I'd choose the Kia.

[@EV-olution]

I understand about the extra size not being an advantage where you live, but with regards to longevity... There are Teslas with hundreds of thousands of miles on them and they are still going strong. One in particular comes to mind, an early Model S that was used as a taxi and accumulated 1,000,000 miles. I would not be concerned about quality with Tesla, they are known for having the best hardware and electronics in the world. The fit and finish are another story, but that does not affect longevity 😎

[@EgonWi]

Did you have a chance to compare the efficiency of both?

[@EV-olution]

Unfortunately no, this was a very short visit of the Model Y, everything was set up and recorded in 5 hours, so I did not get to spend any real time with the car.

The deal breaker for me is those low profile tires. Too expensive, harsh ride, reduce range and they don't like potholes.

@@roundel52 Either usage works.

[@StephenMalbon]

Actually the lack of buttons just isn’t an issue. I’ve been driving a Model 3 for 8 months now and in fact there are large easy access buttons across the bottom of the screen for the heated seats and there are also voice commands for everything, that actually work. Also the indicators become completely natural after an hour or so, to the point now that I can’t imagine using anything else. If you have flicked the lever far enough, past the three flashes detent, for them to indicate continuously then they’ll self cancel if you turn the wheel far enough or you can just flick the lever in the same direction again to manually cancel them. The rear motor is about 270bhp, by the way but the Tesla motors have a maximum speed of over 18000rpm so they use a differential ration of about 10:1, hence the “impressive” acceleration 😉

[@EV-olution]

Thanks for all of the details and feedback, I appreciate it 😎

[@StephenMalbon]

@@EV-olution I forgot to say that the way the indicators work is actually very similar to most motorcycles: they usually have the indicator switch on the left hand handlebar and it’s a slider you operate with your left thumb: push it right or left to indicate and it then returns to the centre position and you push the switch in to cancel. Great video by the way, I test drove an e-Niro before ending up buying the Model 3 and if the Model Y ever goes on sale over here in the U.K. then it’ll be top of the list to replace the 3.

[@TeslanTech]

How’s the highway consumption? In relation?

[@EV-olution]

That is a good question. I made this video quite some time ago and did not do highway testing. It was a car that an owner lent me, not a press car. The 2019 - 2022 Niro EV has pretty good power consumption on the highway, but Tesla is the efficiency king. In the summer, with my Niro EV, driving on the highway at 113km/h in fair weather, I would get between 18 and 20kWh/100km. When I drove from Montréal to Québec City in the summer, it was 95% highway, I left with 100% charge and made it with about 65km of range left, but I don't remember the %. I did the same thing in the winter, cold with bad weather, and I had to stop to charge for 15 minutes. The drive distance in both cases was about 265km one way. In general my Niro EV would get 400km of summer range and 300km of winter range, with a mix of highway and city, but a bit more highway than city. I hope this helps.

[@senna4281]

Why do they not make a small crossover with just two seats. Many many people only need two sets but need a good side truck. I my 30 years of driving I have very seldom needed the back sets. This EV 1 would fit me well if it was a two seater. What’s your thoughts on this would there be a market for a crossover with just two seats. This would give you longer range and cost less. Have there ever been a pole asking how often do you use the back seats and would you buy a shorter crossover without the rear seats.

I don't know where he got the pricing. My Kia Niro EV was $39,000 US, substantially less than the Model Y or Model 3. Also, Kia still qualifies for the $7500 US federal tax rebate while Tesla's rebates have expired here (based on the quantity of sold units). Thus, in my opinion, the Kia is a much better value. Last of all, I like the Kia's use of traditional controls rather than using a touch screen to run everything.

[@EV-olution]

As shown in the at the beginning of the video, this was for the Standard Range Model Y and the Niro EV SX Touring, in Canada, and the SR Model Y was less expensive than the Niro EV SX, based on the Canadian MSRP. With that being said, the Niro EV is readily availble at many dealers now and can be had for about 52,000$ CDN, so pretty much the same price as the Standard Range Model Y if it was still available. Tesla had the Y SR off menu for many months, but the Model Y in the video was pretty much one of the last ones availble in Montréal (it is only about 1 month old). This means the SR is no longer available which is a shame because it would have continued to sell well since the price was excellent for what you got. The rebates are a different story though, the Niro is admissible for both the provincial and federal rebates where the Model Y was only admissible for the provincial rebate; so Niro EV = 13,000$ rebate, Telsa Model Y Standard Range = 8,000$ rebate, which can heavily influence the buying decision for some, but not all. Thanks for watching 😎.

[@davidolmstead9694]

I own both cars - a 2019 Kia E Niro and 2020 Tesla Model Y. I like them both but would be concerned travelling in the Kia due to charging times (max 50 kW versus 150 kW+) and the number of proprietary Tesla superchargers versus the hodgepodge of CCS chargers out there. Of course, not an apples to apples comparison as my Kia cost about $17,000 US less than my model Y ( about $40,000 - $7,500 tax credit versus $50,000).

[@EV-olution]

That is where we have a big advantage in the province of Québec, not only is almost 100% of our electricity from renewables, but there are far more DCFC than Superchargers, and in places where you can't go with a Tesla unless you have the CHAdeMO adaptor. Also to note, the Niro charges at up to 77kW, my record was 76.7kW at a 150kW DCFC 😎. Hopefully Tesla will bring back the SR version of the Model Y because at the same price as the top trim Niro EV, the Niro EV's older tech becomes hard to justify. The new Kia EV6 will be a much better comparison, I am looking forward to early 2022 to be able to see one in Canada.

[@nuriajulia908]

As an European, waiting for the German MY see if it can get the quality problems solved. The top trim Kia E-Niro is to have for about the same price 51000cad taxes and discounts applied. Inside is way better than a Tesla M3, but not so good in highway driving and long trips (DC charging and sound). Tesla actual order MY in Europe is only for the dual motor long range and it is 87-89000CAD ! Unless there is a standard version, completely another price range, like an Audi or BMW. Tesla is the iPhone of the cars: a pioneer with top technology qualities. Unfortunately building quality of the American and Chinese Tesla's is horrible so far.
