Review: Kia Niro EV goes full electric for $39,000 before any tax credits

These are the sort of cars normal middle-income drivers will be driving in future vs luxury Teslas, Jaguars, BMWs, etc so I’m always interested to see reviews about these more mass market cars. This gives us a better feel for where and when EVs will really go mainstream.

The EPA rates the Niro EV at 239 miles (385km) on a full battery. With a starting price of $39,090 before the $7,500 IRS tax credit and any local incentives, the Niro EV is priced about where you’d expect for a BEV with this sort of range and equipment. As we’ve come to expect from Korean automakers, the list of standard equipment is generous and includes a full complement of advanced driver assistance systems — forward and rear cross traffic collision warnings, automatic emergency braking, lane keeping, and blind spot monitors.

We loved the hybrid and PHEV Niros—is it still good without internal combustion?
