Best hybrid not a Prius

The Kia/Hyundai/Genesis interior share a common look feel and ergonomics that are superior to all other brands. The essence of driving a car is not lost in terrible interfaces the rest of the market is delivering. The look and feel of these three brands have very common features. Some so common you may not realize they are different cars right away, from the drivers seat. The absolute worst drawback of the Kia brand is the dealerships. They are degenerate xxxxxxx bottom feeders with only one mission to screw you in every possible way, far worse than fast eddy down at the used car lot on the corner. I visited Hyundai and did not get nearly the same experience. And Genesis is like any other top tier car dealership.

The KIA NIRO fits our needs perfectly.

This car was the best match to our list of requirements: Safety, economy of operations, interior design, ride, visibility, and value. We agree with the many who rate KIA the top brand in both design features and reliability.

Hybrid or not, this is the best crossover/mini-SUV

This vehicle has the bells and whistles of a $35,000 car for only $25,000. It has Apple CarPlay and AndroidPlay. It has separate heat/AC for front driver and passenger. It has SiriusXM with navigation. It has a rear camera for backing up and parking. It has Qi charging! It has a roof rack! And it has more space than the Toyota Prius V!

It's still new but we are very happy thus far.

It's a very nice ride with great gas mileage. It looks really great too. It is rated as a very dependable car.

My first hybrid

I wanted a hybrid with good mileage, comfortable and not too weird looking - this checked all the boxes.

Niro is our hero for saving fuel cost

Awesome car. Runs great, plenty of room for a small SUV/Crossover and gets excellent fuel economy without needing a plug to rechange the batteries.
