Video Summary

- The e-Niro was a groundbreaking car in 2019 for its large electric range without a high price tag.
- The exterior design has not changed in the e-Niro's lifetime, with the primary difference being that the Tiger Nose grille is filled in with a charge port on this version.
- The e-Niro is based on the Niro, which was available as a hybrid and plug-in hybrid.
- Interior has a conventional layout, with the e-2008 having more visual appeal and better quality materials.
- The e-Niro has soft-touch materials on the dashboard but also harder plastics lower down and a wobbly center console.
- The quality may lag behind newer rivals, but it's on par with the VW ID3.
- The entry-level trim offers an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.
- Trims 3 and above have a 10.3-inch system with wireless phone charging and sat-nav.
- Interior provides lots of storage, a good driving position, and spacious seating.
- It is still eligible for the UK government plugin grant where three and four+ trim aren’t.
- Lacks options apart from metallic paint, but has a good 7-year/100,000-mile warranty.
- It has great breaks and regenerative braking.
- It has a smaller battery pack option with 39 kWh and less powerful motor for less range.
- A bigger battery (64 kWh) is better overall because of its significant range benefit.
- Price is higher compared to its rival.
