Let this hybrid surprise you

What a solid little car. Feels like a crossover, footprint like a sedan. I was concerned that being a hybrid, it wouldn't have the pickup I'm used to in traditional cars - I was wrong. The sport mode is easy to use and makes taking off at a light a delight. Lots of trunk space, great safety features, and 500 miles to the tank make this car a great choice.

Been telling friends how happy it makes us!

Like the styling, the color and most of all the economy. It is easy to drive and readily holds two of us, our golden retriever and loads of stuff from Costco.

Great SUV with amazing gas mileage.

The vehicle is amazingly large inside for its size. It handles very well and drives great. The fuel economy is awesome. I am very satisfied with the vehicle.

Made me a Happy Camper!!

My wife and I love it. First car I have owned that outperforms the sticker estimated gas milage. After an Avalanche, the 48 mpg (combined) is SWEET. Plenty of power for this guy (not a teenager any more), and the manual "boost" is both fun and amazing. Almost every technology on the market. Comfortable and good back seat room and amazing luggage area w/o folding the rear seat. Very Very happy! Suggestions: Power passenger seat not available. Road noise could be improved. Audio is great with MP3 or USB drive...not so great with built-in tuner, either AM or FM. Overall...wonderful!!

Niro does not get the 48-55 mpg as stated

Love the Niro but it doesn?t get the gas mileage as claimed. Only get 38-39 miles per gallon. Supposed to get 48-55 miles per gallon. Really disappointing because that is the reason I bought it!

Best gas milage of a car I've owned

I love the milage of this car. The ride is very comfy on my long commute. So far after a week, I'm averaging about 56mpg on my daily drive.

Big mpg reduction in winter

Very comfortable and fun to drive (for an automatic shift vehicle). Mpg dropped from 50's to 30's after 8 months, which dealer operated service in Renton attributed to the cold weather.
