Why I bought new!

I'm not a fan of buying a car new. The last new car I bought was in 1996. I am a sales person at a Kia dealership and the more I learned and drove the Niro I had to have one. So far I'm in love with it. I've made 3 trips over the mountain passes in snow and rain and it held the road. I've managed 75 miles per hour going up the pass. All while averaging 45 mpg. I've sold most of the Niro's that we've gotten in and everyone of my customers rave about their Niro.

Best travel ride with SUV driving style

When it says 50mpg it get just that and a little more. The seats sit better than any car I have rode in. I love the weight of the car. Everything is easily accessible to limit distractions, only if you learn before getting on the road. I love the screen in the center. The size is so much better than what I have seen in other new vehicles.

Most advanced car ever!

Our new Kia Niro Touring is so sophisticated, it could almost drive itself. From the sensors to keep you in your lane, to the blind-spot sensor, to the hybrid monitor, it is full of technology. The interior is roomy and comfortable, and the exterior is stylish and sleek. We are extremely happy with our new Niro.

Great hybrid compact SUV

Love this car's bells and whistles, safety features, and comfort! Really glad I get great gas mileage too. I wasn't a big Kia fan before purchasing one, but now I am.

So quiet! I have only had it a week and enjoy riding in it. My last two cars were SUVs so you are used to space. I don't feel "cramped" when there is more than me in the car. Plenty of room for my family. Can't wait for vacation to see how it goes. Love the city mileage.

Very solid driving & economical

Very happy with my new car, it is the third Kia I own. Go to City Kia in Orlando for excellent service to their clients.

Great Value

Comfortable ride Plenty of room for bothe front and back seat passengers. Instrumentation well laid out and easy to read/understand. Mostly quiet, but cabin is loud under hard acceleration and you do get some tire noise, likely due to tread composition of low rolling resistance Michelins. Plenty of power for entering freeways Automatic transmission shifts are very smooth and the transitions between electric and gas engines and seamless. Mileage is (so far-1800 miles) exceptional Sacramento to Grants Pass OR on 3/4 tank of gas at 50+ mpg. Overall averaging over 47 mpg combined city/highway.

Great GAS MILES

Quite and easy handling especially using screen when backing. A great buy for the money. Amazing 500 miles for about $20.00 .

Very nice Hybrid car with excellent gas mileage. Rides very well and actually has some get up and go for a small 4 cyl engine. Plenty of cargo space too. Very pleased with it so far.
