love it

great comfort and fantastic gas mileage. I love that it's a hybrid. I didn't buy the top of the line model but this one still has all of the technology that i would ever need. I can't wait to take it on a road trip.

Love the new Hybred technology

Rides nice, comfortable. Like the access of controls on the steering wheel. Rear back up screen is nice, have yet to use the bluetooth with my phone, but I will.

Niro is a Neat Car

Fun to drive. Getting 47 mpg driving around town. Love the side mirror alarms when changing lanes & rear view alarm system when side traffic coming.

Better than a Prius!

This was a really nice car, good looking style, lots of room and has some get up and go! The Niro has a lot of features and a lot of extras that others don't offer and you can't beat the gas mileage! I decided to go with a Hyundai Ioniq because the price was cheaper and the base model had more extras than the Niro did, to get the features in the base Ioniq you would have to get the top model of the Niro.

Kia Niro

When looking for a new vehicle I wanted something that would provide lots of space for my family. The Niro is the ideal size for what I was looking for. It easy fits two full size car seats without interfering with the front seats. The mileage is amazing and the feel of the car is great

Nice alternative hybrid crossover

I am 6'2" and am very comfortable in the Kia Niro. Still working on my driving habits but I was able to get 47MPG on nearly 80MPH highway driving. The base model (FE) has everything I need and gets the best fuel economy. This car is well integrated with my Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone. The computer technology is a real hoot !!! Car is extremely quiet upon start-up - something you just have to get used to. The engine doesn't have the power rating of a sports car but then I didn't buy it for that, however, it does great for pickup when you need it - the onboard computer will just give you an "aggressive rating"! No tachometer but rather a "charge-economy-power" dash monitor to help you gauge your driving habbits. Still trying to figure out where they show "tenths" of a mile ... on the dash. IF base model had leather wrapped sterring wheel - would make it a little nicer. If you go upscale with the NIRO - you lose fuel efficiency. I wanted the better gas mileage.

So far so good

I traded in a Dodge Challenger for a Kia Niro because we are about to have a baby. I think this car will meet all of our needs and it gets great gas mileage!

Love this car!

This car is perfect for someone looking to move from a small SUV (like an Escape) to something more fuel efficient. It's cross over styling provides a good amount of leg room and trunk space. I love how quiet the hybrid engine is. It still has some decent get up and go though.
