The Kia Niro has received a comprehensive styling overhaul - we took an all-electric prototype for a drive
Currently, there’s only one battery option: a usefully sized 64.8kWh lithium ion pack located under the floor, which delivers a claimed 286 miles, a modest four-mile uplift over the old car. Improved 85kW charging means a 10-80% top-up takes as little as 43 minutes. The battery powers the old car’s 201bhp electric motor, which engineers have tweaked to smooth out the instant 188lb ft of torque in an effort to tame the traction-control-testing delivery of its predecessor.
If there’s a niggle, it’s the steering, which is direct enough but lacks feel and has a grainy quality when winding off lock, as if the EPAS motor is cutting in and out as it struggles to decide the level of assistance. It’s particularly noticeable at low speeds, and while not exactly a deal breaker, it’s the one part of the car that still doesn’t feel totally finished.
