Is the NEW KIA Niro EV better than the EV6? | Tish reviews 

To me the Niro EV looks much better than the e-Niro and the EV6

Another excellent review Tish 👍🏾

Great video. Ordered mine in May. Hoping to have it by September.

Lovely review as usual

Great review

Actually its 475l boot space, and 490l for the ev6. Great video though!

Fantastic review

Love your videos ❤️❤️🇵🇹

My sister is getting this car and this is by far the most informative video..

Ordered mine already😀

Only let down is the DC-fast charging speed, otherwise a great car.

Nice review and agree about the contrasting grey, over designed for the sake of it. Oh, and a full hours on the innuendo bingo…….

The slow DC charging would be a deal breaker for me. 240KW like the EV6 would be overkill, but at least give us like 120-130KW like its rivals.

Even with pre-heating the charge speed is too slow! Should be at least 130 kW

As an EV6 owner, Kia is knocking it out of the park at the moment. Just a shame about the slow charging speed on this new Niro. By the way, the cutaway shot during the "drive mode" segment shows the wrong button on the steering wheel; the Drive Mode button is on the bottom left of the wheel; that Mode button you show controls the infotainment IIRC.

So glad the large box behind the rear view mirror was mentioned .First review I have seen it mentioned. I was put off the MG5 also .becuse that also has huge box behind the mirror-whats that all about.its very distracting when driving .Also agree that charging port in front of car is a poor design too with risk of damage

Tish Chatten in the hot short ensemble...gorgeous! The Kia Niro EV...not so much. (then again, very few things - and people - can match her in beauty)

I love my existing Kia Niro 4+ EV, I attended a local demonstration of the all new Niro, I found the all new version impressive. However I will not be purchasing this car in the future for one simple reason, they have now joined the central console to the facia, thereby closing the gap that exists with the current model. I took a long time researching the EV models available, I have sciatica down the back of my left leg and find this gap very useful in allowing me to move my leg sideways, having it in a fixed position without movement proves very uncomfortable for me. My last two cars were the Nissan Leaf EV and MG ZS EV, these also had a cockpit feel with no space to move my leg sideways. Its a small change but inportant to me, enough to stop me considering the all new model.

Its a good family small SUV in a budget... and that is what the Goal of KIA is it seems

I’ve an 18 month old Niro 4+ and it’s great, but the new one is definitely in my opinion a cut above. However for me the next cat is the EV6 that’s if I can get one !!!

The air blade in the rear of the vehicle is not "design for the sake of design". It's functional. It helps the vehicle to be more energy efficient, which is a huge plus for an EV. There are videos on youtube that have tested it by driving with it taped up, and demonstrated its efficiency.

I hear other RU-vid movies say the boot space is a lot more than told in this video. Anyone know the exact size?

I have just ordered the niro 2 Base model. I was going to order the one with built in sat nav but I would have to wait 6 month's for niro 3 they said better of using Google maps. tish do you still do your other channel.

My 2020 Kia E Niro is now on sale (bought a MG ZS EV LR Luxury to replace it)

Coal or oil powered?

I have a 2022 Kia Niro EV EXP and I'll wait for Sportage EV in 2024... I need a much bigger trunk space and Sportage trunk space is just perfect...

The AU model the brainiacs in Kia AU decided against light coloured seats or heatpump or heated rear seats and Australia has cold winters it's not all 20c year round many places get single digits during winter for lows with no more than low-mid-teens celcius temps. But I actually love the two tone rear piece makes the car less boring having it all one colour. You covered alot of design elements but everyone is to their own on that and as for charging curve until Bjorn, Tom or Kyle have done charging tests I wouldn't believe Kia on the charge curve just yet. I still like it even though the higher spec model in AU is above $70k AUD.

A very decent upgraded entry level EV just below the EV6 for the wider market of choices. It's all down to buyers to choose what funds they can afford. The Enyaq is my choice over this Niro for cross over SUV design. Take your pick.

Pre-ordered the level 2 over a month ago now and finally got to test drive one over the weekend and it was a great drive, however the technology inside was disappointing. The infotainment system is older and the screen just doesn't look as nice compared to the higher specs because it's not long one long piece of glass but plastic surrounding the screens. Also the place where you have the buttons for heated and ventilated seats are just left blank but the square is still there, so you'll always feel like you're missing features when it's so in your face like that. Decided to upgrade to the level 3. Means I'll get a month or two later but for a car I'm planning to keep for the long haul, I think I'll be much happier! I do wish I could get the level 4, but that's just too unaffordable for me and the extras you get above the level 3 didn't make it worth it imo

How is everyone else pronouncing Renault? 🤔

Is it only me or does anyone else think it’s dopey to have the charge port in possibly the most vulnerable position position in regards to damage? The slightest nudge on the front or animal strike will probably render the charge port unusable, however nice look at the vehicle. Thanks Tish.

I like your style of presentations. Obviously you are glamourous but don't come over as a barbie !! Straightforward and useful. Alan Suffolk x

I like it, but I have all those fixtures in my 2018 Nissan Leaf, including rear heated seats and cruise control.

Tish, what are amendities? I know what amenities are!

Boot volume is 475 litres - not as stated in the video 375.

So is that the future iterations then another 5miles if range oooohh

I want one ! Or ioniq5

Can't imagine this being one of the next Uber EVs

great video in itself but where is the comparison to the EV6 suggested in the title? The comparison is between old and new models of the Niro. As I am trying to decide between the Niro EV and an EV6 this video was no help at all to be honest, but I repeat a good video itself and well presented.

Cant find this anywhere in Massachusetts even people wants it

Good review! Bootspace is 475 litres, not 375

There is a 4th drive mode: Snow ❄️

Hello Tish. I disagree with you on the rear of the Niro and the C pillers. I think they both look good but then looks are subjective.

BUT WHEN DOES IT COME OUT

The new front gives it a nice modern look, but the added length and rear design just makes it appear a bit long. Looks more estate than hatchback now.

Look nice I owned Nero but the newer one has more features

Looks a decent car. It has a more realistic 0-60 and although the range has not increased much over the old model, it is still good and liveable. The "But" comes in with the prices starting from £36,245 and the model you reviewed is over £41k. The same new car in hybrid guise starts at £27,745. So that is almost £10k less and yet hybrids are more complicated to build. To justify these prices they add in every extra you want and many you don't want or need. EV evangelists will say "you save in the running costs" and yes you do. The major cost though of any car is the purchase/hire, unless you spend £1,000 to buy a forty year old V8 Range Rover and obviously the fuel and repairs will be significant. Why do car companies not offer a stripped out "It has Aircon and electric windows but not much else" model? Plus those virtual buttons for aircon and media in that Niro EV need to be got rid of. To use them, you have to take your eyes of the road. Too often see people weaving as if they are drunk drivers but in reality they are probably just trying to change the temperature or fan speed. For stuff like that, you really need physical buttons or switches. I really hope when the Smart One comes out they don't follow the crowd, stack them with tech and then charge as much as they can. Be good to see them at £29k without all the cheap chintz as that is their customer base.

Looks like an old Honda CRV at the rear. The rest looks pretty cool though.

If you have an existing EV Niro (old model), you should not be shopping for another EV. These things have tremendous embedded carbon impact, and we cannot continue to treat cars like short term purchases we replace because of new features or boredom with our current choice. That said it looks like improvements everywhere except for relatively slow DC rapid charging. Has the efficiency changed?

I’m sure I misheard you, but “Toff Spec” should definitely be how most new EVs should be described, with all their bells and whistles.

i disagree with niro EV has a worse rear then the EV 6...i think the niro EV has a pretty nice rear compaired to the EV 6 and this is one of the reasons i ordered an niro EV since i like the design. however i don`t like the color scheme so i will wrap mine to get it in the same body color appart for some black parts in the grill.

New one can tow, unlike the previous version. Only 750 kg, but good enough for our folding camper.

I keep looking at different cars, anything from a Vauxhall Corsa to a Tesla Y. Very unlikely I will be able to afford the Tesla and the Corsa is a bit too small and short on range but I always come back to Kia. Like this new eNiro , if I do go for one Would probably be the mid spec long range. I also have a soft spot for the Soul although this new Niro has now dated that a bit. Anyway, great review as always

I've test driven the NEW Kia Niro but the hybrid version. Great car but the front seats are not good for someone 6f+, the top sticks out and presses into you back. I had a deposit down for the EV version but had it refunded, very disappointing.

Would like to see the interior on the 2 model.. by the time you spec this up to 4, you're talking ev6 money

Tish resembles Philipa Forrester... Are they related?

eNiro came a a cheaper alternative. EV6 start over 50k euro, while Niro EV would start under 40. If incentive are the same, the price ratio for the consumer increases.

The names e Niro and Niro EV are so different from each other as to be unrecognizable. As different as a peach and a nectarine at 10 meters.

Boot space is 475 l not 375

All the models that Kia make and they decide to update the one they have already.

Being trapped in a lift with tiSh would be a bad way to spend a day.

Why does it need a start/stop button? What is it starting? It doesn’t have an engine does it? Does the display come on when you get in? So why have a button for nothing? Oh, yeah, it can be bought with a petrol engine.

Nice car but £40k is a lot of money and availability is low with waiting lists getting as long as 12 months. By then the Chinese will probably be offering better and cheaper models.

The steering wheel is on the wrong side for her accent?

Good review. Need to improve your spelling before displaying words on screen. Absolutely is spelt as shown. Not as you displayed it on the screen. 😀😀

We say Kia as Design KIA.

Hell no maybe new but a step back and behind contenders. should be at least 150kw chrging in 2022 that along with it being over priced are deal breakers

Content excellent, presentation good, pity about the squeaky voice and poor pronunciation. .

Still no digital mirrors. Let's hope lane assist can be turned off permanently

Its 475 ltr

Sorry but you really didn’t answer the question whether this better than the EV6 .., you made some comparisons but no real answer … your information was spot on but was looking for an answer so a bit of a waste of my time.

I test drove the previous model, and it was such a disappointment. The Soul E was a much better car, will sure give this one a test soon.

Kia De'Niro

Still a long time to sit in the car bored whilst the thing charges.

4:02

Why does Kia/Hyundai insist on putting their charge ports in areas that are meant to be sacrificial or are prone to damage? Also, being roasted for properly pronouncing Renault and almost immediately calling a Sportage (Sport-age) as Spor-Tage was funny.

I have to say that, as long as the bloody thing works, I couldn't give a flying f**k about the exterior styling. It's other people that will have to look at it, not me. I much prefer the interior of this to the EV6, but the poor charging performance is a big let down. You really should have mentioned that this will now be able to tow stuff, something that the old one couldn't. It may not be important to you, but it is a deal breaker to me. I'd pretty much dismissed the EV6 as my future car anyway(more expensive than the Hyundai, and I really don't like the interior), so this is actually more like a shootout between the Ioniq 5 and the Niro EV, How much is fast charging worth to me? Well, I only do over 250km at a stretch when I go on my hols, but is it worth stressing out on my hols because of slow charging? I think that ultimately it will all come down to the specific deal I can get on one or the other. And at the moment there really are no offers available because demand is far outstripping supply.

Is the new Kia Niro better then the EV6? Short answer, no. 😂👍

I've just got a longing for THIGH food 😋 💖

why does every car video of the same car actually sounds the same.... this is such a ripoff of all those other video's.... this is so sad...

That design is only awkward..

Really sad to hear that the Niro has become so lardy. It is already impossible for modern vehicles to fit down our country lanes. I hope that a smaller, shorter, thinner vehicle is released.

One thing I hate about EVs is that you cant have the radio on separate from the ignition

I pronounce Renault in the same way. Anybody telling you that you're wrong is an uncultured swine.

I HATE the new headlamp units, although they aren't quite as vomit inducing as those on the new Sportage, they are still pretty hideous (excuse the oxymoron!) By the way, the boot is now 475 litres; up from 451.

The answer is : NO!

Don't buy Kia mines gone wrong after 2 years 17000 miles and dealers won't touch it.

awful car i was testdrive with this seats are very very bad , for short drive it was disasters im 1.72 cm long and also mirrors cover everything blind spot is bigger than any other car, and i dont even start to talk about roadnoice, its like drivin without doors, awful !!!

Do we know the designer is a guy, or is that a massive assumption?

Tesla Model Y

Boot capacity is 475 liters in the EV (348 in the PHEV). And no, the start-button is nowhere near "smart" in any EV! It's a fossil-brain fart that really is unnecessary in an EV.

This car is rather ugly compared to their other models, but each to their own

Just nope 🤔

Needs to stop with all the personel preferences. Please change to unbias/objective review.

No It's an awful looking Ev

Sorry for me it looks really ugly! Quite liked the old one - this one - not so much!

I don’t like the outrageous styling/ size. Yet another horrible juggernaut.
