First Hybrid electric car I own. High mileage a +

Hybrid excellence boring to drive. Good pickup, not so fun to drive, styling ok. Getting 47 miles to a gallon is superb! Go lease one

Love this car

I love the Niro!!! Being a truck family and this is our first hybrid we are loving it! Fill up weekly if not longer and for a 1/2 of the cost of our large SUV's! Very comfortable and great features.

SUV with great gas mileage

This car surpassed my expectations. I have had it for a couple of months and the gas mileage had been averaging about 42 MPG. It has plenty of power and with the touring package all of the amenities I wanted. Kia has excelled in the build of this vehicle so far.

KIA hybrid is a winner.

I previously owned a Toyota Prius and was happy with it. However I was looking to economize and the KIA Niro came in at a terrific price with just as many bells and whistles? if not more. Apple Car Play is a nice addition. I?m getting better mileage too- about 54 MPG compared to 46 for Prius.

great gas mileage

I enjoy all of the technology this vehicle has. All the whistles and bells make it a fun car to drive. It is very comfortable and it is also attractive. The cooling and heated seats are very nice. I also love the heated steering wheel.

I love everything about this car

Keeping in mind that I've only owned this car for a month, I'm thrilled so far. The fuel efficiency is fantastic -- on average, 50 MPG. The car drives and rides very comfortably, and the interior and exterior are beautiful. Kia's fantastic warranty package made this purchase a no-brainer.

Newly Purchased

I am extremely pleased with my recent purchase of a 2018 Kia Niro hybrid vehicle. It is very comfortable to drive, handles well, and looks great. A huge plus is the combined mileage--51+ MPG.

Comfortable for a tall guy

Let just start with the fact that I am 6'6" and most vehicles are VERY uncomfortable for me. When I got into the Niro I was shocked because of how much room it has. Plenty of head and leg room. Exterior is attractive and almost sporty and the ride is amazing! Hands down, my wife and I love this vehicle!
