Best Buy for My Buck

I first became aware of the existence of the Kia Niro at an auto show I attended. I immediately fell in love with this car. The size, sleek curves, and above all the impressive and enticing 50 MPG sold me. The drive is smooth. Price is affordable for a hybrid, and it is just a plain fun car to drive. I love only filling up once every 2 weeks for my daily work commute. I love only filling up twice to take a road trip back home which use to take 3 fill ups. This is my winner purchase for 2017.

So far I love it!

I've only had this vehicle for a week. I can't wait to see my fuel savings when we go on vacation. So far I've been getting 50+mpg around town.

43.8 MPG with Hill Climbing Involved!!!

This car is loaded!!!! I recently got the Touring model of the Kia Niro in silver. It has everything, heated and cooled leather seats, heated steering wheel, 8" display with Car Play and Android Auto, Harmon/Kardan 8 speaker system with sub, rear and front parking assist, backup cam, lane departure assist, blind spot assist, moonroof, 4" dash display. Lighted handles for night. I could could go on for days. Best of all its hybrid for under 35k. Beat that BMW!! This thing is awesome and I am getting about 500 miles per fill. If you want a hybrid that doesn't scream hybrid, check out the Kia Niro.

Great comfort and fuel economy

Fell in love at the test drive; compared to other hybrids and the Niro won. Have averaged 44 mpg city and freeway combined and my commute is quieter and more comfortable, and I like not having to gas up every four days.

Fantastic new hybrid of 2017

Great gas mileage, as advertised is what we are getting. Intuitive electronics. Looks good inside and out. Comfortable seating. Lots of leg room and cargo space. Easy to put car seats in.

Niro: A New Model and a New Kind of Car

I read up on the Niro before shopping for it; in person the car exceeded expectations considerably. I owned two Toyota Prius hybrids prior to purchasing the Niro.

Truly great MPG, Style and Comfort

I liked this car when I drove it off the lot, but now I love it! The black is very difficult to keep clean but we already knew that. It's comfortable, quiet and actually gets the MPG as adverstised (50 city, 41 highway).
