Kia Niro EV review: It was only in 2021 that Kia introduced the Niro nameplate to Australia. Instead, it was more about dipping a toe in the electrified water and getting the Kia dealer network ready or the EV onslaught. So instead it’s hybrid and EV tech for Kia’s new entry-level electrified SUV.

Very closely related to the Ioniq 5 crossover SUV and Kia EV6 , it rides on the same E-GMP architecture, has the same 400V/800V ultra-fast charging capability, same (in Long Range guise) 77.4kWh battery and same 239kW/605Nm from its twin motors.

That’s over $10,000 more than a Kia EV6 GT , $26,000 more than Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 AWD Epiq and, for you combustion fans, a chunky $61,800 over what’s asked for the thrill-bringing Hyundai 130N Premium hot hatch. Same for the door rests, although the too-thin recycled material door cards feel too cheap for this price car.
