Kia Niro EV review:
If you're aiming to go electric in 2024, there are some terrific choices on the market – and we have actually simply lined up three of the best for a shoot-out.
The clever # 1 might be lumbered with among the daftest names in the business, but the vehicle itself is a very excellent bundle. Built on the very same platform as the award-winning Volvo EX30, it's the outcome of a joint endeavor between Mercedes (the design) and Chinese huge Geely (the rest). Early drives suggest that the wise is a great all-rounder with a fun character and good performance.
However is that enough to raise it above the MG4? When it arrived last year, the Chinese-built hatch swept nearly whatever before it, damaging its competitors by thousands and showing that going electric does not constantly need to be the expensive option. Here we test the newest version on the block – the Extended Range design that features a 323 mile WLTP range.
Lastly, we have another Electrifying.com favourite: the Kia Niro EV Practical, well equipped and efficient, the Niro EV's SUV kind makes it a decent suitable for household purchasers and those who like a lofty driving position. Here we test the 64kWh design with a WLTP range of 287 miles.
Join Ginny, Nicola and Nicki as they compare all three. Which one would you select? Let us understand in the comments listed below.
