What Owners are Saying About the 2026 Kia Niro EV
"Great car"
"Just got our new to us 23 Kira Niro Wave. It looks great, is comfortable, has great sound. There is going to be a learning curve, but we are so excited about it. Drove it home from the dealership with no problems and a wonderful driving experience."
"Surprisingly great car"
"Was not intentionally trying to buy the EV version of the Niro, but definitely loving it. I’ve had no glaring issues other than not reading the manual and discovering so many great features. 2 years of ownership and still finding new things out that enhance my enjoyment of this vehicle. Only disappointed with how much the value has dropped since acquiring this vehicle."
"Dont make mistake buying a Kia car"
"I deeply regret buying a car from this brand. It was the worst decision of my life. A brand-new car that has only been driven for four months suddenly broke down. After nearly ten days, they still haven’t even told us what the issue is. You have to be extremely lucky if they repair and return your car within a month. The service is extremely poor. The car’s quality is very low. The warranty is terrible. I wish I had known and never chosen Kia. I strongly do not recommend buying a car from this brand. In fact, purchasing a Kia will definitely be the biggest mistake of your life."
