    Hi all as title. I have a e-niro 2 on a lease which is up in august. We are looking at the new NIRO 4 vs the new shape KONA Ultimate. Underneath a very similar offer for obvious reasons. Just wondered if anyone has experience of both? The KONA seems to have a little more tech (3D parking...

    Hi all. Has anyone experienced early wheel bearing failure on an Kia eNiro? I've got a car just over a year old and one of the rear bearings has failed at 29k. The local dealership isn't considering this a warranty job (wear and tear item) but I just think that this is really premature!
  3. Kia Niro
    Looking to buy my first EV and I have narrowed my options down to two. Brand new Niro EV 2023 or used 2021 Ioniq 5 standard range. Both cost about the same, Niro has more range, Ioniq charges faster, I like both. Which would you choose and why?

    Morning all, new to the forum. I'm getting my first EV as a company car and have narrowed it down to 2 choices, these specs are set by my company. 1. 2022 MG ZS EV Trophy Long Range 2. 2022 Kia Niro EV Level 2 trim I've driven both and enjoyed both, although I felt the Kia was the better...

    Hi All Now 5k miles into my MY22 Niro 2 LR. Loving it to be honest. A great car that is cheap to run and feels assured on the road. Before I ask my question I just want to share 4 things Ive done to the car to improve it for my use (mostly after reading this forum). 1. Removed boot level...

    If your electric vehicle is a couple of years old you may need new tires. What tires should you put on your EV? Are there tires made for EVs? How will it affect the range of your EV? In this video (and in the description of the video) I give you the information that I found, let you know which...
  7. Kia Niro
    I wish to disable the rear child locks on my e-Niro, however I cannot move the switch located on the door shut. I have tried it with the key (the one secreted in the fob) and also with a large flat blade screwdriver. I have used quite a lot of force but I can't get it to budge. Is there a...

    The Hyundai Kona Electric shares a lot of technology with the Kia Niro EV, but it is not exactly the direct cousin. The Hyundai Ioniq Electric is similar to the Niro EV in an important aspect, more than the Kona Electric is. If you want to find out why, as well as find out how the Ioniq compares...
  9. Kia Niro
    I like my Kia Niro EV (e-Niro in Europe) and it is a great car, but considering the price paid, the fact that Kia did not install hood struts is a bit strange; Hyundai did the same thing in the Kona and the Ioniq. In this episode I solve the problem in my Niro EV with hood struts that I bought...

    In my last video I showed you how you could save money by replacing the rubber portion of the wiper blades on your EV (also applies to ICE vehicles). In this part 2 of 2 video I show you how you can breathe cleaner air in your car by replacing the cabin filter once per year, yourself, and save...

    Electric cars require very little maintenance as compared to gas cars, but did you know that you can save money by doing two really simple things yourself, at home, and have less of an impact on the environment? My Kia Niro EV, or e-Niro in Europe, makes it easy for me to show you how to replace...

    About to pull the trigger on a eNiro 4 for £430 a month over 48 months. I also have the option of a Kona Premium 64 for £420 but only 36 months, both on lease. Would you say these are good deals? The eNiro felt like a lot more car for the price but I am not sure if I should go for the lower...
  13. Kia Niro
    If you own a Kia Niro, not just the EV version, but any version, then you will probably be interested in this video. Are you fed up of the backup camera being unusable when dirty, wet, or snow covered? This little device solves the problem.

    The Kia Niro EV has a weak point that has bothered me since purchasing the car on May 6th 2019, the reverse lights are useless. I found a solution and created this video to help others. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Created by Jean-Pierre Lavoie, a member of Hyundai Kona Electric-Québec Facebook page, this module...

    Hello. Just got Kia niro EV a few days back. Everything that is fine. Except it seems I could not find a space in the front door number plate.. Any observations?
  17. Kia Niro
    We live in the woods and have had problems in our old cars with rodents building nests and chewing wiring. Has anyone had any problems with this on a Niro or other EV? We are about to go on a 2 1/2 week trip and I am worried when we get back they will have done some damage. Does anyone have...

The interview will happen by phone and it also involves a 4-days diary with video-selfies about driving, charging and overall satisfaction. There is a...

    Hey all, we test drove the e-niro on Sunday, and I must admit I'm in love. It is quite pricey for us though. Does anyone have advice on whether or not it is worth it? Someone on a leasing forum said my love affair with the car would be over in a week, but I don't think that's true. How are your...
  20. Kia Niro
    So the Niro looks like it ships with Michelin Primacy 215/55/17. Looking at the tyre retailer sites, this doesn’t look to have a desperately low rolling resistance. Anyone any idea how much difference this makes in reality to the efficiency of an EV?
