Range of the Kia Niro in summer and winter

[Uneripty]

I am seeking to acquire a used Niro, considering the rapid depreciation of electric vehicles.

I now own a Hyundai Kona with a 64 kW battery. This provides an approximate range of 239 to 260 miles during winter and 310 to 321 miles in summer.


The Hyundai Kona has significant build quality flaws, with the most prevalent problems including the 12V battery, horn, and passenger seat sensors. Johnson's Hyundai dealership is similarly undesirable, and I would recommend avoiding them entirely.

I need guidance on the mileage range experienced by others with their Niro.

I appreciate your assistance in advance.

My average efficiency since acquiring my Niro EV in October 2022, over 13,000 miles, is 3.9 miles per kilowatt-hour. Varies from 300 in summer to 220 in the depths of winter. The need of heating determines the severity of winter.

I am now achieving 4.4 m/kW since the servicing in July, which mostly relies on your driving habits.

Is there a distinction between Kia and Hyundai, given their shared ownership?

For optimal range, choose the E-Niro 4+ with a heat pump, since it offers the greatest specifications. Significantly superior in terms of effectiveness. Numerous Niro EV proprietors previously owned the E-Niro and have similar sentiments.

I have had the vehicle for little over 18 months, accumulating 10,000 miles, and have never recorded less than 290 on the gauge of mileage (GOM), with a maximum of 314.

The Niro EV can get a range of 270 to 300 miles in summer and 190 to 230 miles in winter at low temperatures. That is my experience with 70 mph long-distance travel or ascents and descents in the Welsh highlands. Unparalleled efficiency across seasonal cycles that I have ever experienced. Indeed superior than the EV3 🙂 Regarding declining prices, these are consistent with expectations. It is preferable to get a Kia that is six months old to save a substantial amount of money, or to use the savings for a better specification model, in my opinion.

Heat pumps are not very effective at expanding range; thus, they should not be prioritised, especially given the current size of batteries. The addition of complexity and expense is unwarranted. I mean an increase of 10%, or even an additional 15 to 20 miles in subzero temperatures. It really pertains to your foot.
