So instead it’s hybrid and EV tech for Kia’s new entry-level electrified SUV. The compact SUV sits under the EV6 from a pricing perspective. But even as a hybrid the Niro doesn’t come particularly cheap. The Niro has seating for five in what is officially a compact SUV body. But it’s spacious by compact SUV standards.

Its short overhangs, “one-bow line” profile and stretched wheelbase take some getting used to, while a strange shut line from the A-pillar – part of a sealed bonnet – and external flap to re-fill the windscreen washer reservoir don’t help. Its EQ owners simply weren’t using it very much, apparently.
