Kia Niro EV4 and E Niro 4+ comparison 

I have the digestive 4+, best car I’ve ever had.

Thank you Jonathan another really useful video

Although both are far too big for me, I prefer the older car as I am an enthusiastic consumer of digestive biscuits.

The most good news is the Niro II has still battery from SK Innovation(better technology, low fire risk), Good Job Kia! :-)

Great side by side comparison. Personally I think colour makes a big difference on the original e-Niro, for me especially the Yacht Blue make the car look great and not bland or plain. The new models solid rear quarter panels compared to the windows on the earlier model limit the drivers view there. The new cars display in front of the driver looks nice but all in all there is nothing on the new car that would induce me to change my existing e-Niro 4+

Either of those would do me fine. I prefer McVities digestives however. 🤣 Great vid mate.

It's nice to see EV’s are becoming more affordable for us poor folk

As you know JP, we have the slightly earlier 4 and I’ll stick with the torque….if only it came with a tow hitch….all them lb-ft would come in handy. Also after 2 yrs & 30k plus, she’s still a winner.

Both are good but a bit too big for what we need as our 1st EV. Currently we are looking at a used 1-2 year old top spec facelift Kona Ultimate as a second car for my wife. It will only ever be charged from home & used for local trips & the odd longer trip within the range of the 64kWh battery. Personally I'm Hobnob man.

I'm with you, Jonathan. I love my e-Niro and the fact that the Niro EV is bigger is not a plus for me. The Niro now must be at the lower end of similar cars in terms of maximum charge speed, so it's a shame Kia haven't addressed that.

One great feature missing from the older vehicle is something I really miss from the leaf, the i pedal. My next bev might be the Mercedes EQB for taxi work. I’ve got quite a few issues at the moment (going in for warranty work in july) my steering is able to make slight bends without the self steering enabled maybe caused by an annoying centre dead spot (I’ve had new tyres and tracking) the electric motor has an awful whine when on trailing throttle and the clicking gear box mounts noise has returned along with the standard kia creaking suspension/mounts. I’ll report back when issues done. Personally I think the huge torque through the steering has caused one of my issuers hence the new vehicle has reduced amounts. Cheers

Nice comparison of the old vs new. I'm really pleased with my new NiroEV 4. The addition of auto lane change on motorway when using the adaptive cruise control is very nice, it also adjusts the maximum speed where variable speed limits are in force. Maybe use the new 4 on your next trip darn sarf and see what you think 🤔 Only downside vs my previous 28kWh Ioniq is the efficiency of the NiroEV can't match the #Windknife. But then the NiroEV will do 280 miles vs 150 in the Ioniq

I prefer the looks of the new version but hate all of the piano black used on the interior.

Both fabulous cars enjoy your t

The towing is make or break for me. I might be driving one now if the original had it (officially) but I could not get it then and ended up getting a used ICE to tide me over a few years. Maybe in a couple of years.

New one has a slightly bigger boot. I'd take the extra practicality, personally.

Love your channel.😊 I have just charged my new kia Niro 2 for the first time on a public charger 174 khw shellrecharge. when it started I got 46khw to 80%, then 27khw at 90% then 17khw at 100% full charge.does this seem right.did not warm battery.

What about the Heat Pump? This is included on the old Niro, I believe it is an option on the new one?

2:18 not testing 🎤 while "on the set"?

Can't see any EV4+'s on your website? Would snap up a 2021 EV4+ for £21-22k!

Where did the sunglasses holder go ?

Pedantry alert - chocolate digestives have the chocolate on the bottom not the top! Nevertheless I'd probably go for the top spec. Got to love those gadgets.

Unfortunately I've lost so much money on my 4 eniro, I'll never be able to afford either of those 😪

Digestive. Maybe chocolate digestive in 2 years time once depreciation kicks in...

Err bit of a mic failure?

still 🥔cam without HD

That’s the second time this year you’ve taken your jumper off! Climate change is real!

The new car doesn't take a roof rack. Fake roof bars. That's awful news if you surf.

Why do u write Niro EV4 Niro and EV4 are 2 diffrent cars and the later one are not released yet. EV 4 gonna have 800v system.

EV are NOT Eco cars! They are far more environmentally damaging than a modern diesel. Due to manufacture they use 100 to 300 barrels of oil in their production on average. The rare earths used in the battery are mined in new mines often by child slave labour. To make one 450 kg battery more than 300,000 tonnes of earth are mined to produce it. They are a far higher fire risk than a petrol or diesel car and fire services have to send twice the number of appliances to try to extinguish it. The crews using around 30,000 liters of water to control it whereas a ICE fire need around 3,000 litres so these EV fire will use more of the water we need to live

I’ve had both & am now back in a 4+ because the 4 let me down multiple times with zombie mode. Kia were totally useless, the dealer couldn’t care less and Lex, my lease co, wouldn’t take responsibility, so I gave it back and am now a lot of money out of pocket because there were no other suitable cars in sock
