Amazing Value

The 2018 KIA Niro is the perfect balance of style, fuel economy, and features. I purchased a Touring edition which has all the safety features we wanted in a car and came at a price that no other car brand could match. 700 miles in and we are getting better fuel economy than what is listed for the Touring edition. It was everything we were looking for plus more.

I have only had it for one month but I love it

Road noise is minimum, gas mileage is excellent, pick up is good. Very easy to enter and exit. Comfort is good. Overall this vehicle is a surprise to me, much better than I expected.

Nice bypassing all the gas stations

I was so surprised by the excellent roominess inside, I'm over 6 ft and weight right at 315. Easy in and out and plenty of leg room for driving.

Great, Realible, Great mpg's Hybrid

After owning several Toyota Prius for 14 years I was nervous about switching to a Niro but the Niro goes head to toe with the Prius in every way. The Niro has more comfortable seating and I'm very happy with my Niro.

Comfortable and Fun to drive

We purchased a Kia Niro Hybrid. This car has met all of our needs. Comfortable, great sight lines, plenty of room for two car seats. It also has plenty of leg room in the back when the car seats are removed and riding with friends. We were concerned about the 1.6L engine but were very pleased with the get up and go we experienced. A major incentive was the gas mileage. We love driving past gas stations.

Fun to Drive! I Love IT!

I just bought a 2018 Niro after driving a Lexus for 14 years and a Mercedes before that! This cute car not only has supurb gas mileage but so many safety features I needed some time to get used to them all and just love um. Safety is a key issue today. It is almost a self drivng car! It even tells when you are not paying attention! WOW! I am only 5? tall but other 6? tall members of my family are very comfy in this car. Just the right amount of room for cargo too. The nly thing I wish it has would be a cup holder higher on the left as in arms length. Otherwise a great car and afun to drive.

So far I Love This Car

I have onky owned the KIA for three weeks. But so far I am delighted with this car. The only downside Ihave noticed has been written about in some of the professional reviews. At higher soeeds, say 70, if you want to pass another car the power is not great. Ive driven from Palms Slrings to Phoenix and this came up once or twice due to the 75 mph speed limit in Arizona. Otherwise I love the interior, the media system, gps, etc. much easier to use than my late Honda.
