I am owning the E-niro since June, best care i ever had, so happy and surprised with the performance. I really believe it's the money worth, very good ratio price-quality.
Loved my 2017 Soul EV, unfortunately the new longer-range Soul did not come to the US. I just got the Niro EV and love it. I still miss the Soul though.
Yes this car is a 2020 e-Niro 4. Which will be discontinued at the end of the year. Orders are now being taken, and the first cars are arriving in the country as of late October for the 4+ Which is the car with heated outer rear seats, sunroof, memory driver seat and wing mirrors, blind spot detection , cross traffic alert, ventilated front seats and 11 kwatt AC charging capability. Maybe another review on the 4+ please.
Bit disappointed that you pretty much glossed over the heat pump aspect, quite a key feature in an EV, especially for those in cooler climates where the added efficiency/range is going to be noticeable.
@@WhichEV The section heading is “ACTIVE SAFETY & DRIVING DYNAMICS”, either way I think you missed an opportunity to explain the advantages of such a feature.
@@madm4tty No, agreed. As you'll see above, Kia sent us a 4 without really explaining it wasn't the car they will be selling going forward. Luckily, we based most of what we said around the online specs, and there are only a few differences between the 4 and the 4+.
Actually there are lots of differences sunroof, memory seat, heated rear seats, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert, led headlights, 11kw ac charger, ambient lighting, aluminium pedals, premium 8 speaker system, front parking sensors, intelligent speed limit warning, heat pump, just to mention a few, these came from the online spec sheet.
A good review. A few questions... Is there voice command control for sat nav, climate etc? Can the annoying tunes and touch tones be turned off? Can the rear seats actually fold totally flat? Does it have start/ stop traffic cruise control for town driving?
Thanks. Not sure about the voice commands specifically, but it does have Android Auto and Apple Car Play with Voice Control, or the touch tones (although we didn't find them particularly intrusive). The rear seats can go as flat as you see in the video. The cruise control does have Stop & Go so will do town driving.
On further reflection, the car we had WAS a 4. The 4+ just has a few more features (eg the rear heated seats and a sunroof). It's otherwise the same. Our review comments were based around the 4+ spec announced by Kia.
