Kia Niro Hybrid Real World Fuel Economy Test 

If you drive a Kia Niro, let me know what MPG you are getting!

Bought a 2024 EX model last night. Had about a 50 mile drive home and the gas gauge hasn't moved yet. The screen showed an average of 51.9mpg when I got home.

The real trick is to run it in sport mode all the way to the gas station and make sure the battery is fully charged before you start your trip. That extra battery power in ECO mode helps get you up to speed in EV mode, and once its on the highway, you can see crazy high gas milage numbers.

Every time I used to drive past San Onofre, I remembered the scene in Naked Gun where Leslie Nielsen said “Everywhere I go, something reminds me of her….” And then they show the domes.

have a good night too!

It would get 54 MPG at 62-65 mph

Maybe it is just me but it seems on this video and past videos your first half on that route is always your worst MPG's and the drive back to that gas station your MPG's improve ? Maybe you can look at your data of past drives and see if that is true. Its possible the drive back overall is not as uphill as it seems to you or the pavement on the road back is smoother and less tire friction?

I' usually get 45MPG on highway in Poland (86MPH top speed, but I rarely get close to that, trip average is often around 70MPH) in my 2020 model HEV (the previous one). I only drive to max speed achievable by ICE alone, when it starts to add the electric motor I let go of the accelerator a bit, so it usually gets to 70MPH. I only go faster when I need to overtake or if its downhill, or I've built up enough battery charge (75% and more - if You build up too much the ICE shuts down, which I view as a waste when the max speed is above 70MPH). That is still insane efficiency by my standards - show me any other crossover/hatch of this size with this fuel economy - diesel cars win the highway efficiency by a bit, but lose the city efficiency by much more.

Hey thanks for doing this! Your title states "real world fuel economy test" but you talk about EPA numbers and in the end you surmise it missed it's mark. Had you attempted to replicate the EPA numbers it's likely going to hit the mark. Anyway, thanks again for doing this and those are some crazy good numbers for a crossover. In case you missed it and for anybody else who hasn't seen it Daily Motor did a range test in the SX touring trim at 70 mph and it hit its mark of 45MPG highway.

Which is more comfortable niro or kia soul

Don't epa estimates assume 60 mph for highways?

Do you know the EPA test method? You didn't knew the basic method of EPA.
