The overview
The second-generation Niro offers buyers three efficient modes of transport, with traditional hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric models. The electric version is one of the best among affordable EVs with an EPA-estimated range of 253 miles. The 11 kW on-board charger allows home charging on the quicker side but with only a meager 85 kW max acceptance rate for public DC-chargers, charging on the go is slow. Acceleration is immediate and feels effortless. Ride and handling are better than the Niro hybrid. Hatchback versatility is an asset, as is a roomy rear seat and compact footprint for easy urban maneuverability. Unfortunately, some controls are not intuitive, particularly the split audio/climate panel can be distracting to use. Rear and side visibility are compromised due to the thick rear pillar. AEB with pedestrian detection, AEB highway, BSW, and RCTW are standard.
