The New 2023 Kia Niro EV Is New, Improved, and Futuristic

Uploaded 2 years ago by Doug DeMuro

Video Summary

Here's a summary of the car review following all specified instructions:
- The gray panel on the rear is a styling quirk and comes in a different color than the rest of the car. It's not known if that part can be changed to match the car’s color.
- The exterior design is generally tame, looking similar to the older Niro but modernized with sharper edges, different lighting, and different wheels.
- The rear turn signals are in the bumper and don't share a lighting assembly with the brake lights.
- The front has an odd grille design for style, not function.
- The charge port is in the center up front.
- The center screen on the inside has a dual purpose for climate control and other settings, but it cannot do both at the same time. This is a controversial quirk.
- Buttons and switches for various controls fill the center console.
- There are lighted lines on the dashboard’s passenger side for ambiance.
- The infotainment system is the type that Kia models have, which is liked.
- The Gauge Cluster screen is not highly configurable.
- The driver-assist technology works well, especially regarding steering and braking on the freeway.
- Rear climate vents are included.
- The back seats are relatively tight for adults.
- Cup holders have buttons to pop up rings.
- One can move the car forward and backward from the outside using just the key.
- The all-electric Niro EV competes with Kia’s own EV6.
- Priced around $40,000-$45,000, the range is 253 miles and is a reasonable value.

Final Doug Score: 46 out of 100.
