Is the 2023 Kia Niro EV a new SUV that is WORTH the Price? 

*Man... these Kias are really good looking compared to everything else that's on the market...*

That infotainment might be the very first in any car brand literally ever to be as responsive as a smartphone. That actually surprised me when I first saw it because porsche/audi/acura/etc don’t even

Joe! The "charger" you mentioned I believe it's the vehicle to load plug. Yes you plug in other things to it, but it's to draw power from the car, appreciate that you spend lots of time on the details. Btw, way too much piano black on the front....

I bought a 2023 niro ev. I love it. Roomy, smooth and quiet driving. In my life of nine cars, this is the most fun. Also, if your neighborhood has a power outage, you Niro can power your house with that gadget shown plus an extension cord.

Holy smokes Joe, you're nearly at 1 million subscribers.your growth has been a testament to you and Lori's hard work.keep it up man

This is the perfect full EV for a first time buyer. Good range, normal feeling interior, and decent price.

I had a 2018 and always thought it was ugly although it was a great car. This reminds me of a Honda from the back.

Honestly my first seeing this and it’s not really bad looking at all. I’m excited to see more of it.

That price is crazy! I remember my brothers 2017 hybrid niro was $24k fully loaded out the door. I know it wasn’t electric but still, Times have changed.

18:28 I find it hilarious how car manufacturers get away with bizarre cost cutting materials in the name of being “eco-friendly”. All while having a massive lithium battery 😂

It's 12:30 in the morning where I am as I'm watching this. Clearly, you are still working hard to maintain your title as the hardest working car guy on RU-vid. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

I work at a kia dealership in charlotte north carolina. I really like the niro A LOT! Even their sedans are nice too. I wonder when they will reveal the k5 hybrid.

Very practical vehicle and the design looks pretty good too.

i’m sorry, but that black quarter panel is atrocious.

Are we all thinking the same thing about this random strip/panel, whatever you call going down the rear sides.

I love the detail on the white running light how its moves every time the blinker goes on

We went for the hybrid, we had the 2017 Kia Niro and it was a really good car. He really missed the mark on the price though, much cheaper. Our 2023 Kia Niro hybrid is really nice, we are getting around 51 mpg when its above 50 degrees, in bitter cold (0 degrees) about 37 mpg. For our needs we will go through about 100 gallons a year. Can't beat that for such a nice driving car, and only at 34K.

Great video Joe! I really liked the previous Niro. This design is out there. Maybe it will grow on me or maybe not. Thanks for bringing it to us.

I love it Joe and Lori keep up the great work 👍 real true and I love the video lot and look good suv 👍💯

22:39 A real biatch! lol i wasn't expecting that. Good stuff joe!

I like Kia……they are being innovative…….not copying other carmakers. Not loving the A Team van stripe in back. Love the interior ! 👍

so they are still not going to be affordable for the average person wonder when they will get more competitive with pricing

just got my EX Touring a week ago. Hybrid only. Really enjoying it so far. The interior with all its goodies is awesome.

A nice vehicle would be worth the price.

If the 10-80% charge time was 20 min this would be a great buy.

I’d have the strip wrapped to match the car.

Im very happy with my sportage hybrid. For 40k I don’t think this will sell as well.

Very decent entry level EV with nice interior details for that group that don't require long distance coverage. There's other models EV if we need 300 miles or more distance from an EV.

I just got this yesterday. They had it marked down like $8k. I would like to have Wi-Fi option. I would also like video all the way around instead of just backup. I would also like a little more miles and a little quicker charging. I think we are gonna love it.

Well today my dad has joined the EV club. Yep today he got his brand new 2023 Kia Niro EV Wind. In the Cityscape Green with the gray interior.

great review!!

there are so many things that hurt with that the price to me is was to high for a kia most people cant afford that and them charge times are just to long still (hopefully that changes with time) but they really need to find a way to make these things more affordable if they are going to force a switch

According to what they’ve shown for other countries, the gray trim is EV exclusive (not available on HEV and PHEV). And only available paired with white. Other colors have black. Contrasting aero blade is an upcharge/option. Also, other outlets have stated that the Niro EV’s torque off the line is purposefully limited (until 30 mph).

You guys motivate me to continue man your content creation fire is no joke keep it going 10 million subs by 2025!!!!!

If only they made it in 4wd it would meet every need after that.

I JUST GOT MINE 23 KIA NIRO EV WAVE IN DRK CHARCOAL GRAY. LOVE IT! ALOHA!!

I love the silver finished trim on the bottomvof the Niro.

Thanks for the review as always, Joe.

Alright Kia!!! We see yall swinging for the fences with this one!!! Proportions are spot on, but the graphics have me feeling some type of way... but definitely for what it is it's a stunner!!! And the interior is decent too!!! Awesome review Joe and Lori and Steven!!! 1M subscribers milestone is on the horizon!!!

Almost A Million Subscribes Excellent Job Joe & Lori🍾

You know when Kelley Blue Book posts a new vehicle video, you post the same new vehicle also, I've noticed that

Awesome Raiti ! a Sunday nite auto video 😀

South Korean brands took three of the top five spots in J.D. Power’s 2022 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study released Thursday, with Kia at No. 1, but one U.S. brand, Buick, following closely behind at No. 2. Rounding out the top five were Hyundai, Genesis and Toyota, according to a news release. Lexus, at No. 6, was last year’s top brand. Consumer Reports most dependable of the 2022 model year, Toyota luxury brand Lexus returned to the top spot among the 28 ranked brands. Mazda, which dethroned Lexus in 2021, ranks second, and the Toyota brand ranks third. Infiniti is fourth, and Buick is fifth. Kia ranked 19th.

Really liking the style of the new Niro Ev, but not gonna deny that it's gonna be tough against the US built ID.4 or Bolt, because of the price and of course the $7,500 federal EV rebate

The pricing on these makes zero sense. I was reading where well equipped hybrid and PHEV trims were pushing 36K and 40K respectively, and they remain glacially slow in terms of acceleration. There’s a lot of competition at the prices they’re asking for these, including models from inside the Kia/Hyundai family itself

9:27 I also dislike when cars put the lights at the bottom; turn signal and reverse lights

Better avoid any front end collision or you can't charge this car

Yikes!!! 42k. Noway. Nice vehicle tho. I was really hoping to see more affordable EVs from the car manufacturers but no one is making them affordable.

I'm impressed with this car and its weight. I wonder how Kia using steel/aluminum, motors in the seats, motor in the sun roof,.motor in the rear hatch, the heavy battery, normal size tires and keep the weight at 3000 lbs??? BMW used plastics all over including the body panels and frame,, smaller battery, skinny tires, no motors in the seats, no motorized rear hatch and many versions of their electric car had no sun roof but yet their car was 3000 lbs as well...

the fact you can charge in quick 25 minutes makes this alot more accessible to more people who may use this as a long road trip vehicle. KIA is knocking it out of the park. all i ask is that they offer options in the future for killer sound systems. since ev vehicles are generally quiet inside, i wanna take advantage of that and rock out every chance i get. So car companies.......start making it happen!

Nice Kia Niro I think Kia went over and Be of on what Kia did. I think my zonk is the fact you don't get All Wheel Drive.

I’m only here for Raitis electrified reviews ⚡️ 🍿 😂

Bolt EUV same range cheaper and better looking.

ugh I love this design its so my style and so cute I WANT IT

Thanks Joe for reviewing my favorite SUV.

Those grey bits looks stylish, dash & instrument cluster with that curved dash is fantastic. Price is yet to decide

Drives me crazy that most car makes don't tuck the rear wiper. Major zonk....

I like you Chanel brooo thks

In my opinion this would be the perfect mainly city but also day tripping EV if it is priced well AND if the charging speed was closer to 150KW. Hopefully next year or so they can increase the charging speed. It looks like a great size for urban driving with 2 kids in the back.

Joe said No Bulge Set Down 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Love me some Joe! Like the car… the tailgate looks like a CRV and seems blah compared to the rest of the package.

Hate the outside design But beautiful interior

J ~ one giant thumbs up, tony

Wish they would bring the EV higher end features to the PHEV. Like the full digital gauges and heads up display

I like that they're trying different things, but this is a no. Just no.

Nice Only if it in gas engine

I don’t know about that Audi R8 rear panel.

Different design and sort of appealing to people looking to get an EV. I would like to see a 4wd of that vehicle. 👍

how come nobody talk about, How much it cost to replace battery? after 10 years ..

Got the led fog lights

KIA K5 GT LINE AWD PLEASE!!

These EV cars or not ECO friendly

No charging stations

I mean it´s not bad, it looks like a good compact EV but the price must be under $ 40k, i don´t see this car for a price where was over $ 40k.

I just leased one of these love it but i have to say its slower than my 2020 especially of the line and the climate control and radio control in one is horrible every time i turn the volume up a part of my finger touches the auto climate control on🤦🏻 very bad design on that otherwise i love car

Those headlights are so weird and droopy…

Joe, would you buy this over an ID4?

Considering this is a gen 2 EV, it should be priced around where the Bolt EUV is. If this retains the old pricing, it's not going to be worth it in my opinion.

I an waiting fir that chevy equinox EV

A living bee proves that it is eco-friendly. I have a reason to buy.

Love the energy in your reviews Joe! One note, @25:25 is the vehicle to load (VTL) adapter, not the charging adapter.

Loved

Good.

No. The mark up on Kia cars is crazy right now. MSRP is one thing. But $10-12k markup? Not for me.

Too expensive. We need more mass market sub $30k EVs.

Nice review Joe, but you left out the radio/sound system controls that tag-team with the HVAC controls. Press the triangle button above the red fan button to toggle.

Putting that Charge Port infront is Not Wise coz a fender bender the Car becomes a Right off

EVs will forever remain a city only car,

The pricing makes 0 sense if you’re correct. That puts it in the same category as the EV6 which the EV6 is a better option in pretty much every way. Hyundai redesigned their Kona EV and it’s the competitor to the niro and it’s starting at $35k. I would think it would be around that price range starting. Just makes no sense. Niro is a nice car but it’s not $45k nice.

i heard cost around $26,000 and up. Would you buy EV car??

So Joe as far as the outside goes I ain't digging it too much. Don't like the front lights or the taillights think they are way to wonky and over futuristic. The side panel I get where they were going with it, I think it's out of place. But the interior is pretty nice but god forbid if I ever was forced to get an EV if it was from KIA I'll give the EV6 a try. Thanks Joe 👍

Looks like the front end of a Kia Soul

Charging capacity and speed are a little disappointing

Hahahahaha, "Feels like a Rock wrapped in 2x ply toilet paper "

Shame on you Joe. The VW id.4 is rear wheel drive, not front.

Papa Smurf approves

0 to 60 time speed?

New crossover design. Awesome review thank you.

Love your sense of humor!

I think KIA lost their magic wand when they designed the exterior of this one. They should have just waited until they found it again.
