Car Review - Kia Niro Hybrid 1.6 (A)

Kia's very first hybrid offering - the Niro - offers up a tantalising combination of crossover practicality and utility with hybrid frugality and affordability.

CONSUMER REVIEWS

Kia Niro, the Value Hero

We were on the lookout for a family car with good fuel economy at around the $100k mark. Shortlisted the Kia Niro Hybrid, Renault Scenic Diesel, Nissan Kicks, and the Toyota Sienta Hybrid. The Kicks then was probably the closest rival, and we almost put down a deposit (dealer was giving a free upgrade to the highest trim level). But once we found out about the Niro (particularly the cheaper EX trim), we were sold. For one, it was a conventional hybrid, with both engine and electric motor driving the wheels depending on situation. Maintainence wise, I would assume that it will be easier to find support if we choose to service our car outside, as the system is similar to those employed by the Toyota Prius and Hyundai Ioniq taxis we have in Singapore - vs the Nissan ePower hybrid system, which seems to be a Nissan-only hybrid system at the moment. In fact, the Niro uses the same engine, gearbox and hybrid system as the Ioniq, and seeing that it is being used as a major taxi model gave us reassurance. Also, it seems the conventional hybrid system is more efficient, with the Niro achieving more KM/litre vs the Kicks. Secondly, space wise, the Niro is bigger than the Kicks in every way. Passenger and driver comfort is better as a result of a wider body and longer wheelbase. Lastly, the interior quality just feels much more upmarket. You get factory fitted Android Auto, Apple Carplay, Reverse camera, Dual Zone AC, and rear centre armrest. Overall, the Niro is a solid, high quality car with potential low running costs. At under $100k for the EX trim, it is also the cheapest in our shortlist, making it the value hero, and our pick of the lot.

Best value for money Hybrid SUV

I bought the new Niro EX facelifted 2020 model in Oct 2020. So far, the car has met and in some aspects, exceeded my expectations. Firstly, the fuel consumption is really good, i pump petrol in every 3 or 4 wks, at around 21-22L/km. The hybrid drivetrain is quite smooth and you do have an option of the DCT sports gear if you need. The new 8.0" Entertainment screen is also android/apple pay enabled and looks very nice. The backrow seats are surprising spacious as it can fit my kid's car seat and 2 adults well. The boot is around adequate at 420L for family needs. The exterior of the car also looks quite stylish with the refreshed spoilers and look. I've been driving this car for 3 to 4months and it is really positive so far. Great A to B for family and fuel efficient. My experience for the buying process at C&C as well as servicing is also good, no complaints.
