We love our Kia Niro!

It is classy, sporty and fun to drive hybrid that gets about 50 miles per gallon. It is packed with technology.

My First Ever Hybrid

I thoroughly researched the Kia Niro. The Kia value (I had a Kia Sorento) prompted me to investigate Niro, and I decided to visit a dealership because I wanted all the comfort and safety features that this vehicle offers. We have driven the Niro for two weeks and are totally satisfied. This is a very well engineered, high-tech, comfortable vehicle. My gas mileage in town ranges between 42 to 50 miles per gallon. I wanted it all, so I chose the Touring trim. I enthusiastically recommend this car. Be sure to see Stephen Cantrelle if you stop in at Central Kia in Plano.

Nice Auto

Good so far, haven't had it long enough to really make a good review. Sales person was great, and knew what he was talking about.

Good looking, great mpg, easy to drive.

I love my new Kia Niro. It's small enough to be super easy to park but big on features. Plenty of head and leg room for back seat riders and trunk space for groceries or suitcases.

Eco Hybrid

A an excellent car! Love the gas mileage at 55 mpg in the city and excellent head and leg room with good safety features and just large enough outside to be practical but easy to park and drive! Tremendous vehicle!

Economic and elegance

So far I'm in love with this car. It's luxury, environmental friendly and gas economic. It's the hybrid 2017 Niro. Outside and inside features makes the car elegant and at the same time in accordance with the new technologies. Maybe is not the most powerful car but it's what I was looking for. Specially when we talk about reducing cost on gas.

Style and technology for the future

Clever integration of style, technology, comfort and convenience. The car drives well, and I am enjoying the challenge of getting my ecological tree on the dash display filled up with green leaves. I am hoping that I can get the battery up to "full" charge although I am not certain if that is technically possible. I was very particular about the seating position and in the Niro, it works very well for me and my 6-foot frame. Mileage is great so far: on Day 5, I was reading an average of 51 MPG and I am enjoying the idea of doing so many more miles than indicated as remaining on my gas tank. Still trying to get used to the silent starts and silent stops.

A car that delivers

I traded a 2014 Nissan Altima which I really loved. It got an average of 31 mpg. Not bad for a full size sedan. When a local Kia dealer offered a cruise for 2 and a truck load of electronics we decided to investigate. The only car I would consider was the Niro. The first test drive sold me but I was skeptical about the promise of 49/50 mpg on the sticker. On my first fill up I checked the mileage and gallons. With combined driving and two drivers I go an amazing 51.3 MPG. That was running the air full tilt with 90 degree temperatures in Florida. Kia Niro delivered in more ways than one. Looking forward to the cruise.
