Kia e-Niro SUV 2020 in-depth review | carwow Reviews

this is the key to Nero and it's basically like an economical battery pack because essentially with these electric cars a lot of the money you pay for them goes into their batteries and what this does starts at £33,000 after taking into account a three and With a government subsidy of half a million dollars, it is still relatively cheap compared to other electric cars like the Tesla Model 3 and its ipace consumes the number of batteries it actually has on board and the range you can get now if you want to see how much money spends.

Wow, the e Niro may be a very futuristic electric car, but it doesn't look all that futuristic. I mean, the only thing that differentiates it from the normal Nero is the blue details. It still has the old fake Vince saying on the back and is more or less exactly the same, so it has that whole small SUV vibe on the front. I have some more blue parts for your friends and a few more here, but I'll put this on the front vent. They actually lead somewhere. They're for aerodynamics, but yeah, overall it's a pretty modest looking car and it's the same here.

Inside I also quite like the interior design, it is simple, it is easy to understand, the overall quality is quite good, all the main touch points are smooth enough, this January has one difference from the normal car and it is this center console here with your equipment. selector which is a rotary knob, I say gear selection, it doesn't actually have any gears, they are cars, but it is going forward or putting it in neutral, everything is very logical, it's fine, but you have all the controls there for your transmission system information and entertainment. for its weather and shake for the door switches and stuff, it has some nice shiny trim here, some metal pieces on the switches that enhance the quality feel and keys to make horrible steering wheels, but this one is actually pretty good there, the central. the boss is a bit rough too for a high tech car look at this it has old filament bulbs for interior lighting and yes you have a big sun visor it's really good at blocking the sun but you actually have to open the mirror vanity light and then turn there's a little light up there, again a filament bulb which is a little old-fashioned anyway, let's talk about this because the equipment list only has one equipment level for a mirror and it's fully loaded, so you have automatic radar cruise control to keep you a safe distance from the current front and it will also have automatic steering to keep you light, stress-free on long trips, you get a full leather interior and 8-way power adjustment, and the driver's seat, front seat and steering wheel are all heated, there are new JBL speakers for banyan tunes, there are now front and rear parking sensors too, plus a reversing camera and of course this screen eight-inch touch screen that includes Tom Tom Selleck navigation, it also has Apple Carplay and Android Auto, that's the specification. cover, let's talk about one of the main features of the car that you will use every day and that is the infotainment screen, so pressing it is a little boring but it is clear and the menus are logically arranged and the shortcut buttons mean that you can just quickly navigate between different functions very easily while driving, the whole system is quite easy to use, the only problem is that the sat nav doesn't have pinch to zoom, it's really annoying, the voice commands work fine but You have to use specific phrases, it's actually quite limited what you can do with it, still entering your destination on the satnav is easy, however the buttons can take a little while to respond, but once you've entered the destination, the satnav actually calculates very quickly, in fact, everything I'm going to do.

I'll just use my Google Maps on this instead of bothering with Kia's system because there is no way Kia can make maps as good as Google now. This infotainment system is pretty good, but if you want to see the best infotainment system installed in an electric car, just click there and the pop-up bone in the top right corner of the screen or find the link below the video to see my detailed video. in

review

of the Tesla Model 3 now let's move on to the practicality here on the front of the ena and it's actually pretty good, but I have big compartments in the door, it's a 1.5 liter bottle, that's impressive.

I have a small storage area. there for my cell phone and it also has wireless charging, but if you don't have that functionality with your phone, you have a 12 volt outlet, they have a USB in there and then another USB that is covered for some reason. a little shy to have to do on display there is also a large storage area here there is some storage under here also with a 12 volt outlet that is where I keep my truck real looking it is a dash cam which is useful I have captured a few things good On this and maybe I'll show you at a later date, there's also some storage down here and a lot of this.

The cup holders are very clever, yes they fit a cup of coffee, they are not too deep, but press this button. Look. a little thing that keeps it in place and there's a little bit thinner one for those narrow bottles so they don't fall out, maybe they will fall out if you use them like that, but that's a little bit up to you in terms of the seating position. There are a lot of adjustments, you can actually push the seat quite far back, so if you have very long legs you may be fine. Now I can't even touch the pedals and you can check the seat quite high if you are short.

If you need to see and this car also has a lot of adjustments on the steering wheel, that's quite a lot, it's easy to feel comfortable when driving, but what if you're in the back seats? Yeah, well, let's find out. The rear doors now open wide, making it easy to get in and because the car is the perfect height between a tall SUV and a normal hatchback, it's simple to just get into position and look at this loads of foot room. . The pits are also huge, which is great. Headroom looks, there's plenty of that too, so people over 6 feet will be fine here if you need to carry three people at once, there's not much of a hump in the floor, so there's a plenty of space with everyone's feet, plus the cars are wide enough to fit three people in the back and it's not too uncomfortable, it's doable if you want to carry a baby well, it's that easy to maneuver a child Let's say that in space, the problem is trying to locate it. the isofix anchors because they are a little hidden between the seat cushions, no problem now that you have two child seats in the back, there is not much space between them for one person to fit, so it is a little problem if necessary carry three adults and two children at the same time, another thing that is a problem is the fact that back here it is called a cargo facility, that is annoying, the compartments in the doors and in the back are like a single portion that fit.

They have a ball, but that's not all, we still have some pockets on the backs of the seats that store the iPad or something like that. I also really like the fact that the rear windows are nice and big and go almost all the way down. So you can put your elbow there without resting it on the glass, without getting soaked. The fucking hooks are there and they get in the way if you need to hang a coat in the back with people behind it at the same time. time and the reading light is once again a filament bulb, which is not great, although the positions are good for reading a book.

I'm not too happy with this although yes you do get an armrest and some cup holders but no full load if I want to carry longer items and tilt it back mmm that's not so great but let's move on to the trunk because it's pretty impressive. Interestingly, the trunk in this row of Eenie is slightly larger than the normal size, increased by about 5 times. which is strange because it's usually the other way around because batteries take up space. I don't know how they did it. In fact, in total you have about 90 of this space in this boot and it is a really good size, for example, under the cargo cover, you can fit a large suitcase, a small suitcase and two soft bags.

You can also put a baby stroller underneath and there's room for golf clubs and stuff. I like this look, although the lower deck covers the retractable weights. Instead of a solid one like you find on most hatchbacks, just remove it, more on this later, there is a bit of a strong lift, but it's not that bad, so you can slide things right over it, like this it has a little bit more storage under here too and room for the charging cable there are some tie down hooks if you need them there is also say a 12 volt outlet you get one on the regular mirror but probably not here in the electric.

I'm just trying to save as much energy as possible. We're going to fold down the back seats. You could do it? As you can see, they like to lie almost completely flat, which makes it easy to slide things into the front locker and in fact, it won't slide down again. With the seats down you can fit two large boxes in the back seat with a small box between them in space for 12 more small boxes and two large suitcases. Yes, this is a very practical car, in fact, you can fit a bicycle. There with both wheels on after we retreated from the world, it's a very practical family car and is a mission-free drive.

Now it's time for the car. Why five annoying things about this car? This car is designed to look a bit like an SUV but it doesn't have star-shaped doors covering the sticky side skirts, which means when you drive in bad weather I'll get covered in dirt and then when you get out you'll rub your legs. of the pants will get on and then you will have dirt on your pants. Cause the manual is so huge it's almost as big a read as the Bible and there's a second one for the navigation system which is in almost every language under the sun and you put them both in the glove box it's pretty full the brakes they mean it's weird to moan Sam when you're crawling in traffic this stuck so many beeps and bongs reminds me a bit of a 1990s gameboy I think Super Mario is just I'm going to jump on top of the car and crush it, he even does it when he You turn it off and on and, appropriately enough, the screen definition for the reversing camera appears to be from a 90s Game Boy and luckily this car has a lot of cool in it.

Features to help make up for all of this here are five: The car makes a futuristic noise from the front to warn pedestrians so they can hear it coming because it's obviously quiet being an electric car, however you can turn it off if you want to run around people The Nira has some unique features for its infotainment system, for example, you can set your planned departure time and it will pre-heat the cabin so it's nice and toasty when you're ready to leave. Plus, the satellite navigation system shows you the range you have. amount of charge in the battery and when you are driving it can know when you are approaching an intersection or maybe it will and give you a small warning on the driver's digital display to stop accelerating to help conserve.

Additionally, the car will record the amount of carbon dioxide you save by driving this car every day compared to a normal internal combustion engine car of the same size. There are some changes to the bodywork from the regular Nero to help make this car a little more aerodynamic, so for example, there is no grille because there is no engine that needs cooling. Additionally, low world designs have less drag, improve efficiency in terms of the shape of the wipers, again improving airflow and reducing drag. It's the same story for exterior mirrors or Designed specifically to maximize how far you can go on a full battery.

I just can't express how much I love the fact that you can put the cover down. Sorry, it's a nervous tic. That's fine, you get a 7-year, 100,000-mile warranty. If you're putting 100,000 miles on an electric car, which with full charging could take you more than seven years, there's only one version of the e Nero and it has a 200-horsepower electric motor and a charge of batteries is actually almost half a turn of 294 batteries are sold in total. If you want to charge them using a regular three-prong plug you have at home, one of these will take 29 hours, so don't do it if you have a fast AC charger. takes about 10hours, however you want to charge it with a DC charger, a fast charger, you can charge it from empty to 8% capacity in just one hour and 15 minutes, so that will be the best way to charge this car, since it is a electric car.

It's really nice to drive a Kia Elio in the city, so when you poop everything is silent, you even hear the chugging of a diesel or gasoline engine and then when you put the pedal to the metal you get an instant response from that electric motor, that book . a little over the limit, so it's great for opening gaps in traffic, as it handles speed bumps quite well. One of the things about electric cars is that they are quite heavy because they have to carry a lot of batteries. As a result, they are usually equipped with a fairly firm suspension to prevent them from leaning too much when cornering, which means that when you enter a broken road or ride me over small potholes, you get the feeling and it seems like it sways a little and yes. .

This Eenie road makes me touch it, it's not as bad as on this sound sheet, but this thing doesn't slide on the road as well as a Toyota rav4 hybrid does now. If you want to see my detailed video

review

of the Toyota rav4, just click on the pop-up window and In the top right corner of the screen, one of the things about electric cars is that when you lift off the accelerator, the engine runs in reverse and in fact the wheels turn to drive the engine which puts the charge back into the battery and that creates a deceleration effect and in this car you can alter the severity of the deceleration effect by pulling this pedal all the way or the other pedal to keep it minimal.

I mean, whatever, I like it the most because then you can control the When you step on the accelerator, you don't have to use the brakes much and that's good in a way, because at slower speeds the brakes can feel a little difficult. Let's be very easy to put this car in that position and trust. There's a lot to the camera and sensors, the door mirrors aren't the biggest and they don't speak softly so there could be better visibility towards the front, okay there's a blind spot there the worst thing is at the rear because the rear pillar is quite thick so this will take a few tries, what I can't complain about is a steering although super light so it doesn't mean that if you have to do quite a bit of maneuvering like the ones I do now, it won't be like that.

It's not a shame, but I think I did it, well Bravo, tell me what I like too. The gear selector, sit tight, just put it in reverse anyway, let's get on with the final test in the city, let's see how maneuverable this car is. so there is a mini roundabout here. Can I make a U-turn without someone almost crashing into me? Oh gosh, well I can do a U-turn with no problem because this thing has a tight turning circle, it's better than a Volkswagen e-golf. and about the same as a very maneuverable Nissan Leaf, easy to get back through town, it was close, the e miro is quite relaxing on the highway, obviously you have an engine on so it then picks up other noises such as the road noise, which seems a bit more than it is something like a Volkswagen e-golf still has much better range than the VW;

It will go about 250 miles between charges, which is pretty impressive as far as comfort goes. It handles bumps well when you're on the road. However, if I'm going fast, the seats feel a little too firm and aren't very supportive, so I don't know how many miles. I could travel in these, what I do like is the overtaking power, so once again, it is a response to the electric one. engine, I'm going 50 miles per hour and I floor at 16 and that's 70, that's fast, now it's time to find out what the e Nero is like on a winding road, now electric cars don't tend to be so round. fast or wide beds because they are quite heavy, look at all the batteries, but it's okay, it doesn't tilt too much or you won't get dizzy and the steering feels pretty precise, that's good, the only thing that maybe What's not good is that when you go into a corner very slowly and normally accelerate, if you hear that, the front wheels suddenly turn and lose grip because you have instant power to the electric motor, also if the surface is a little bit rough when you accelerate or turn, you can The steering feels more like pulling water and there is no way this car is fun to drive or has a sporty feel like a Jaguar.

I'm patient, if you click there, I'll come out behind the In the top right corner of the screen you can see my full and detailed video review of that car, so what's my final verdict on the Kia Eenie ro? Should you avoid it? If you consider it. Shouldn't you select it? Go ahead and buy it right. I think you should shortlist the Kier Nero. It may not be the most futuristic looking TV, but it is a really good electric car. Do you agree with my verdict?
