The Kia eNiro as been a huge seller for Kia since its launch and has a devoted following in the UK. Fabled for its efficiency and loved for its affordable price, the Niro remains one of the best all-rounders you can buy.
And now, nearly four years after the original arrived, Kia is launching a new version. Out goes the eNiro nameplate and in comes the Niro EV badge, along with a host of detail and engineering updates, the biggest of which is a new set of underpinnings. The new Niro is now built on what Kia calls its K platform, which sits underneath a host of Kia and Hyundai products.
The Niro Electric has a fractionally larger battery pack at 64.8kWh (0.8kWh bigger than the old pack) and, bizarrely, a slightly slower rapid charge system. Where the eNiro was capable of DC charging at a maximum speed of 77kW, the new version maxes out at 72kW. While this seems something of a backward step. Still, a WLTP range of 287 miles makes it a very attractive proposition for the price.
