Kia Niro EV 2

Replaces the Kia e-Niro · Compare old and new

The main drawback of the Kia Niro EV 2: it charges more slowly than most rivals, only about 17 miles in 10 minutes.

By eight years on the road it should still hold about 84% of its battery health, roughly 292 km of real-world range, which is a useful yardstick if you’re buying used. What owners say: Good efficiency, with owners commonly reporting 3.5-4.5 miles per kWh. Peak rapid charging reaches around 80 kW, slower than newer EVs.

What Owners Say

Positive

Owners Love

  • Good efficiency, with owners commonly reporting 3.5-4.5 miles per kWh
  • Quiet, comfortable driving that feels straightforward, with a useful i-Pedal one-pedal mode
  • More boot space than the e-Niro, alongside a small storage compartment up front

Watch Out For

  • Peak rapid charging reaches around 80 kW, slower than newer EVs
  • Winter driving range trails the official figure considerably, at around 220-230 miles in real-world use
  • A heat pump cost extra as an option; without it, cars experience greater range loss in winter

Owner Tips

  • If winter driving is frequent, confirm whether the car is equipped with the optional heat pump
  • When range matters, maintain motorway speeds around 60-65 mph
  • After purchase, allow a few weeks for the range estimate to adjust to your driving
