Kia eNoro range far longer than EPA rating

Love my Kia eNiro more and more as I've driven it. Power and agility are better than other SUVs Ive driven and owned in that size. Range has much further than the 239 mile EPA range, which puzzled me. Then Edmunds published a real world range test (Feb. 9, 2021) showing eNiro with 289 miles of range which matched what i was seeing. Haven't had to pay for gas or wait in gas line in over a year, no Jiffy Lube bills either. Half my electric I've found for free around town at the Mall and grocery stores. Best car I have owned and I've owned many in my 50+ years!

It’s been one year and 10,000 miles on my 2021 Niro premium EV, and I do really love this car. First off economy, I drive mostly short trips under 100 miles, and average about 4.4 miles per kw or 290 miles per full charge. Highway speeds of 75-80 drops to 3.5, same for winter months. Overall save about $160:a month on gas! Acceleration is impressive in sport mode, lAlmost Like my wife’s Tesla dual motors and very acceptable in Eco mode. Handling is competent, comfortable seats and ride. I prefer the in dash display screen over the iPads type, most features easy to use, and monitoring of speed, recharging, and miles/kw display reminds of economy driving. Agree too many icons on screen when swiping, but a minor nuisance. Lastly, being a frequent golfer, I love the storage tray under the fold down rear section, It literally holds all my golfing gear, oleaving the floor free of loose items. Sporty looking too! I see it’s rated #2 behind only Tesla 3, about 25 grand less! Also , install a charger if you can, check rebates, PA gives $1000 or more, income dependent. Lastly, plenty of charging stations, and shows closest e while driving. It’s 2years and now 22,000 miles and after re reading my review I have to say ‘dittio’ I truly agree with all my original comments today. Actual miles per kw is up to 4.6, and if it’s driven easy have hit 5.0, so averaging about 300 miles range, that’s over many new EVs. I use the paddle controls for breaking often, adds to feel of driving. Breaks are about 12% used after 22k so no break replacement in sight for a long time. Lastly in house charger is best, but for my driving I use the 110 line, and have a Tesla charger installed for my wife’s T 3. Kia has been terrific! Now 26,000 and all of above applies. Miles per kw remains in the 4.5 + driving in eco majority of time

Extremely pleased, would be a 4.5 star if I could have entered it. New Aug 31st, excellent deal with existing VW Jetta 2019 LEASED used as trade in, over $10,000 less with Fed $7500rebate and $3300 dealer incentives. Note VW would not allow Kia dealer the $14,200 payoff for me, instead charge$16,700, Jim Sipala accepted the extra bucks. Got a check from VW for $2700 2 weeks later, he’ll of a deal. Swapped my 23k VW for a 46k EV for $65 more a month, save $75 a month on gas based on 1k miles mthly. EVs Yes! The Kia Niro after 2500 miles provides just about everything the mfg claims it does. The acceleration is so smooth and instant, it’s fun to drive just normally let alone pushing it some. Handling quite acceptable, maneuvers great. Highway speeds 70 + feels safe and is quiet., did 90 feels same as 70. Premium model has everything in the way of safety features and luxury as well. Back up sound bings especially helpful n parking lots. Already avoided parking lot collision with auto brake feature. Lastly, mileage range is right on spec at 4 miles per kw, I managed up to 4.5 in summer, that’s 288 range, now in winter about 275 range. I drive reasonably, but not at posted, mostly round town. The regeneration braking is the reason, and you can control how much applies. Negatives? Mostly the display screen, lots of control features to deal with. I’m 78 so little slow on the tech side. Eating used to it. Put Juice charging station in our attached garage, costs $700 plus $550 install 220 line, less PA $750 and Peco $50 rebates, net cost $450 no brainer, and overnight charge a simple plug in. Wif gettinggTesla long range in Jan, with adapter plug, will charge both EVs. AND NOW WE WILL BOTH “PASS GAS”
