Kia Niro EV review: It was only in 2021 that Kia introduced the Niro nameplate to Australia. Australia received the Niro very late in its model cycle and it was never intended to be a stayer.

BYD is a new brand to Australia, but it’s by no means a new brand in its homeland of China. Short story is that the relative unknown in Australia is one of the top EV manufacturers in the world.
