Neither the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration nor the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which evaluate vehicles' crashworthiness and other safety features, have rated the Kia Niro EV for the US market.
Likewise, the vehicle will remind you that it's still running if the key gets taken out while the motor is on, because there are no audible cues to go by.It's a jarring feeling, both if you've never stepped into an EV before and if you're judging the Niro based off of its looks, which don't jump out as anything particularly futuristic or revolutionary.
Inside, the higher EX Premium trim gets a power sunroof, mood lighting, and heated front seats, all of which the $38,500 EX lacks.Driving the Niro EV is almost as perplexing as starting it up, for those who aren't used to EVs — especially ones in the guise of an everyday crossover.

The paddles offer different levels of regen: zero, one, two, and three. The lowest level, zero, is the most like driving most other cars, in that you're using both the accelerator and the brake pedal to control the car yourself. Each level offers a step toward one-pedal driving, with the car braking itself to different degrees as soon as you let off the accelerator.

It's hulking, heavy looking, and entirely too basic, dating the car in a way that's hard to ignore.
"Battery discharge warning!" its screens will light up to say. "Please use the system with the car running."The 2019 Kia Niro EV , 2020 Hyundai Kona Electric , 2020 Nissan Leaf and 2019 Chevrolet Bolt .The Niro EV and all of its direct competitors are about in line in terms of pricing and horsepower, and all of them send power to the front wheels. The Niro and Kona are crossover options, while the Leaf and Bolt are more compact-looking hatchbacks.
