I bought the PHEV EX and I’m loving it. Nice review btw. One thing maybe you got wrong in your review, both the EX and SX get the front collision assist systems. The only difference when it comes to the safety options between the models is that the EX doesn’t get the front parking sensors. Seriously to pay an extra $5000 for a few extra niceties, doesn’t seem worth it. The car drives beautifully and all of that tech for under $40 000 is amazing.
Honest Feedback Please consider adding/changing the title of this video to reflect that this is a comparison of plug in hybrid Niro trims. This is a very well made video with al lot of information but I was a little confused because I thought you were going over the HEV Niro, not the PHEV. No big deal, maybe its just me. Thanks for the content.
@@VagabondBuilds You’re welcome, thanks for the kind reply. I have been researching the the Niro via RU-vid and I can’t seem to find much on the EX trim HEV. It seems that that most of the videos on this vehicle feature the top of the line SX trim. I would love to see a video on the ex trim Niro. If you decide to do another video on the HEV version could you go over what comes in the fix a flat kit under the cargo area and give measurements on that space? Thanks and have a great one.
I’m in SoCal I just bought one for under MSRP. You have to be a shrude negotiator. Play one location off another . 35,119 Msrp and I paid 37665 out the door after taxes and fees.
@@VagabondBuilds The bigger battery with additional electric engine means quite an heavier car, i.e. less efficient when gasoline-powered. The same applies for the weight due to the gasoline tank and engine when electrically-powered. And these systems take space from quality of life specs at the rear trunk space (a 2015 Ciroen C4 has a much bigger trunk that a modern cross-sized PHEV, and even of a HEV). Also, with the PHEV, one still has to recharge quite often, for both gasoline and electricity. This doesn't make sense, and again it's a loss in quality of life features. At least with a HEV, you need to stop more frequently on a highway to refill your tank, and don't need at all to recharge your battery. Not to speak about EVs. I would really love to have EVs with a 1000 Km range, with clean energy used to recharge them, and minimized mining for their materials, and an interoperable charging infrastructure. But this is not the case, yet.
