Kia eNiro - Detailed drive review, acceleration and topspeed 

Regen can be adjusted as desired in every drive mode. Yes the spinning wheels happen in Sport and comfort mode. But I want to feel some power and other cars, especially rwd cars do that better.

@@BatteryLife I saw it as an example of confirmation bias.

hi did it come with the auto follow car ahead? i just got delivery of mine and it doesn't have it? it can auto steer and stay in lane but no auto follow

It happened a lot in this car. I was even driving before this.

Yes, but in consumption it does not do that much.

I will get the Kona in July

But I think you should fasten your seat belt before you put the gear in. What if you want the ignition but not even drive. It still beeps.

There are some

Same

I know.

@@BatteryLife 😅 oh, sorry, it took like several weeks for me to find this out

Id.3 too, it regens with 70 kW

Taycan Cross Turismo Turbo S and EQS 580 are said to recuperate with up to 290 kW. Why would it be AC charger limited?

I think dc was meant here. The Niro can indeed regen more than the 77kw (for a short time at least).

@@BatteryLife On my ID.3 I see sometimes more than 90 kW.

You don't pay road tax, you pay vehicle emissions tax which goes into the main government pot, your council tax goes towards roads... I do agree that German roads are much better than ours in the UK.

@@alastairgoffey6073 even worse it's just a scam to get more tax . Nothing to do with the environment just greed . I don't know about your roads . But the roads in South Tyneside are shit . Pot holes bust road kerbs everywhere utter disgrace . Traffic lights where nor needed and he e NN we been needed before suddenly appear . Like round abouts wtf is that about

Yes!

This car is great but at 130 km/h it is louder than other cars.

0 to 100 is never 6 sec, you are wrong. 7,3s maybe. My car had 52% SOC therefore less power, only 137kW, instead of 150 kW. wind Noise level at 130 kmh is louder than in other cars. Under that it is fine. All mentioned in the video! 130 is important in some european countries, because it is the highway driving speed. bye!

@@AlanTov what’s wrong with pointing out someone being critical is factually all over the place? The response was measured considering the initial comment was incorrect.

@@kevinwalton4538 Incorrect? Then your research is as poor as “Battery Life”. There are lots of videos and articles confirming E Niro acceleration is considerably faster than stated by Kia’s official numbers. Watch all this channel’s videos of the E Niro and do your research. You will find inaccurate statements that reflect poor research or deliberate misleading comments eg, he states that you cannot view sat nav directions in the driver’s display - you can with a simple push button on the steering wheel. But he is too proud to admit his errors or that his findings differ from other reliable reviewers eg, Tesla Bjorn. He criticises the jerky smart cruise control action when approaching a slower vehicle ahead when this can simply be set in the driver’s controls. He criticises the Kia auto trip data screen when there is a driver reset controlled screen one button push away. His comments about efficiency are also at odds with other reviewers. However, I think that my criticism of the latest VAG, BMW and Daimler cars have caused a sting in several channels. It is shameful that they are comparing their latest ‘pure EV’ designs with a 4-5 year old Korean EV based on a petrol/hybrid car design. These German cars should be significantly better than the E Niro in terms of power, efficiency, features and cost. They’ve had years to ‘cut and paste’ the engineering in the Tesla and Hyundai Ioniq classic, the only EV to challenge Tesla EV efficiency. Sadly and disappointingly most are not better and they are typically 10k Euros more expensive for the same equipment as the E Niro. German EV engineers are asleep at their desks and all the efforts of VAG, BMW and Daimler fan boys to disguise this complacency will not save them when the Korean pure EV’s are on the road. And they are 2-3 generations behind Tesla technology.

@@AlanTov I'd read that as his usual sign-off, nothing more.

5db is a huge difference in loudness as the scale is logarithmic. The Kia e-niro is a great car but there is no doubt it is really quite noisy. Also acceleration fastest I have seen is high 6 seconds in perfect conditions.

Wind noise at 130 is louder than in other cars. Under that speed it is fine.

​@@BatteryLife Andreas Haehnel measured at 130 km/h, 62.2db for the eNiro and 66.4db for the Id.3. So the ID.3 is 4.2db louder than the eNiro and that is a lot louder. But I don't know where this difference comes from. I drive an eNiro myself. And the background noise comes mainly from the trunk. This is uncomfortable, although it is not louder than other cars.
