You are right Alex, the heat exhaust will at best contain just the heat extracted and likely some more too as generated by the extraction process. However if Jack is standing near the open window, he might benefit slightly just as on a hot day if you stand next to an open fridge you will feel some cool air escaping. But imagine if we are both wrong and you can cool a large space this way, we could start a campaign to solve global warming by having a mass "open your freezer" day 🙂

Wow, this EV3 looks fabulous. KIA has done it again.

Leaving the AC on in the car with the windows open to cool that room are about as effective as cooling your house by leaving the freezer door open.. The heat doesnt magically disappear, it just moves around..

Yes but did you really believe Jack was being serious? An AC system designed for a small car cabin and you believed it would cope with hundreds of cubic metres of warm studio. The lighting rig might have been tungsten or LEDs Jack doesn't confide in us at all on that topic. (If Tungsten then I can attest to frying sausages with a 1kW ParCan. Not a good thing for the lamp, as we discovered later.) Of course Jack wasn't being serious. Car looked alright though. An FC version would be orders of magnitude "better". Obviously. It's a British humour thing and if you're not British then ask yourself if you should be making a comment in the first place.

I love this brand and car so much! Thank you for making fun and high quality videos like this!

Genuinely like this, it reminds me of the quirky Suzuki Ignis but bigger (and thus actually useable for a 6'2 unit like me) Kia and Hyundai have been smashing it out of the park and I'm all here for it. Slightly related, I remember my primary school teacher in the 80s rolling up in a Subaru. People were very confused as to what it was. Twenty years later and Subaru was everywhere, but sadly you don't see many these days. Part of that was the lack of innovation. I hope Kia and Hyundai carry on being innovative, the car market is stale without brands like this.

Increasing car widths are a problem, my parking space is narrow (and need space so that my neighbour and I can get in / out of our cars.) My Niro EV is tight to the fence on the passenger side in order to leave space on the drivers side.

Running the AC in a car, in the room, will not cool the room. It will warm it up. AC doesn't make cold, cold isn't a thing. AC moves heat from one place to another. By turning it on you are moving heat from in the cabin to the front of the car. Then the energy required to do so is also just heating the room.

How does the boot space compare to the Niro?

I own a Niro EV (2023)…excellent car…previously owned 2 Teslas and don’t miss them. 2+ years and not a single issue, even though my teenage son ran it off the road into a ditch and had to be towed out…easily get over 300 miles on a charge most of the year here in Washington DC which is more than I need…I think it’s only a 65kw battery! I charge to 80% and it comes in at 302 miles! I charge it once a week.

Thanks for the early information 👍🙏

Also worth pointing out that the charge point position will mean you can drive into the Tesla Chargers forwards and you won't be obstructing an extra space! It does look an interesting car and if priced in the low £30k it could offer much competeition to what is already out there.

The price is critical.

Jack I agree. If they get the price point right on this it looks fantastic. I even thought it had an i3 vibe and then you said it!

That is a nice video review, AND a nice EV, thanks for the work. Good looking EV, refreshing to see something different. And that big battery is a probably driving the cost up a lot. At least €35.000 and up. And the V2H / V2G is awesome. We would have loved to have that in our new Citroën ë-C3 Max, but we didn't want to wait an other year for those EV's hit the market . . .

The overall inspiration for the 800V technology comes from the Rimac brand. Rimac explained that VW & HMG may take margins when you install the 800v technology in cars over $1100,000. That's why the VW group featured the technology in the Audi and Porsche brands only (not on Volkswagen). But Hyundai explained that they would be equipped 800v technology on $40,000 cars, and Rimac 100% disagreed at the time. Anyway, they figured it out the technology on the IONIQ 5 and several EGMP vehicles, but the cost of the technology seems to be significant. It's somewhat understandable.

Slow charging is also the achilles heal of the eniro so seems weird not to do 800V on this.

Slow DC charging is a huge setback.

Love most of it, as a very happy e-Niro driver, main minus is lack of storage under the arm rest. Can you fit a tow bar? Another must for my next one, and no mention of a frunk?

It has a 25l frunk.

Does it have the folding up rear seats (Magic Seats like Honda) that was promised in the concept?

I dont like the charging port location on the newer Kia's; they got it right with the original Soul. More than once I have seen cars unable to charge as the bay they NEEDED for the cable to reach their side located port, was occupied - whereas I could drive in on either side of that blocking car - and still have the cable reach.

Great review, great car. Shame its not higher voltage. ⚡️

Will the Niro continue to exist though particularly with the EV3 & 5 entering the market. Glad you did the seat test unlike another reviewer who was abit vertically challenged and had loads of leg room as they would as I'm similar height and always like to know.

Now this is my fav car

It is getting to the end of May here in Labrador, Canada and it's still snowing here. We literally have to leave our vehicles running 24/7 in the most extreme weather and even hybrids will sometimes refuse to start ........ For us, the closest to full EV is a PHEV

EVs can work in cold weather, you just have less range and need to charge more.

You're excused. Labrador has like 500,000 people living in a huge area, on the edge of livable conditions. You could be using coal-fired steam engines, and no one would blame you. The big impact will need to come from densely populated urban areas, where millions of cars pollute in a relatively small area. There was bad weather in the Netherlands the other day, resulting in over 1300km of traffic jams. There's 18 million people in that tiny country (an area of 40,000km²). Converting to EV there will more than offset your emissions in Labrador.

why are we still talking about miles in 2024? can we at least have the metric equivalent shown on screen for the rest of the world?

Given that all our road signs and speed limits are in miles in the UK it makes sense for this market. I would be in favour of changing but the cost would be huge.

There are a number of markets, that measure road travel in miles not km. just divide by 1.6 or multiple by 1.6, depending which way you want to go.

For the same reason they keep talking about boot space in litres - too lazy to get a tape measure out and give us length, width, height.

I'm getting BMW i3 vibes from the styling and shape a little - not a bad thing!

It looks like a winner to me, assuming the price is affordable. When my lease is finished for my Bolt EUV, this is definitely a car I would look at.

The bigger issue is that people are buying cars they can't afford & just saying stupid stuff like (I just lease mine) like it's nothing. EV or not if we continue just purchasing things constantly then the damage is just coming from manufacturing instead of the tailpipe that's why you can't just say (EVs are greener) without the whole picture. I believe that running a EV for over 10 years will be a net gain for the environment but people have to stop being bothered about showing off to people, if you actually care about the environment you would not ever lease a car

@BuildersM8 yeh I totally agree you cant just say it's "greener" because it's a ev especially with the massive amount of emissions just to make the car alone. The whole lease scheme is causing massive environmental damage by forcing people to continue buying new car because the don't have the money for the "optional" final payment mainly because there in a car they can't really afford
