Which is correct, they were originally introduced as a safety feature to prevent whiplash in a 'shunt' accident. Truth is of course we always use them as head 'rests', which is what we want, a comfort feature. Other manufacturers manage to make theirs comfy though and still do what they're supposed to do with regard to safety. So why not Kia? Style over function maybe?

thank you for the useful reviews, but can you please do one for Hybrid version?

7:55 That's the most british thing Matt has ever done

I bought this car new 2 months ago and I absolutely adore it! Mine is a non plug-in hybrid and I wouldn't have anything else! I get 53 miles to the gallon and I dig the hell out of it! It's all of the car I wanted and it's gorgeous. I love that color of blue that I got it's so sexy. I can pick it out of a crowd in a mile. Here's the kicker, I bought the new Kia ev6 before that! What a mistake! I traded that thing in before it had 600 miles! There is absolutely insufficient infrastructure for charging electric cars on the road. You will not use anything slower than a DC plus fast charge and they are few and far between. Here's how few and farther between they are, where I live in eastern North Carolina interstate 95 runs straight north to south. There are count them 3 DC plus charging stations in all of the capital of Raleigh. There are only three on the entire route along i-95. There are zero east of i-95 in all of North Carolina and all of South Carolina and much of Georgia and much of Virginia. You will not sit and wait for anything less than a DC plus charge. Takes too long. You'll be cussing any all-electric vehicle that you get right now I promise you that! And by the way upgrading your home service to put in a plug is around $1,000, $500 for the plug from the car to the outlet and 500 bucks to have an electrician run a circuit from your panel to your plugin.

The seat bell sign is so sensitive, if someone even touches the rear seats it just starts screaming to put seat bell on even though no one is sitting on that one. 2. The side passenger seat belts it self when used and then the passenger takes it off the seat belt do not go completely back to its original position therefore it keeps scraping and banging against the interior which is really annoying. 3. The lane assist is really annoying as you mentioned I have it off all the time.

One question Mat. Does regenerative braking inform other drivers via braking lights? If not, this could be pretty dangerous.

Regen braking is braking so it lights up your brake lights.

Brake lights in any car - EV or not - must legally light up at a certain g of deceleration.

Of cause, level 1 doesn't because its so subtle, after doing 13k miles in a year I love our E-Niro, 0.01p per mile in this climate is unreal, we luckily changed our tariff to go electric 35 EDF in May last year so I'm tied in till August next year

nice vid matt!

between this and Megane etech electric, which will you recommend

My Niro EV 4 is 11 days old and I’m already having issues. The car often (3 times so far) refuses to move into gear. It seem it’s immobilised! I turn the car off and lock it then go back a few minutes later and it will start ok. Not good for a car that cost 43k

Matt at 1:00 "If you go for the electric only version, the EV model." So it's a electric only electric vehicle model? 😂

Why is that funny or weird? He wanted to clarify, because it's also called the Kia Niro EV. Then there's also the HEV and PHEV...

Kia is offering a little boot cover made of fabric only for you, so you don't throw it away during the review! This is a nice update to the Niro, thank you for the review! 🔌⚡🚘

Love the Ferris Bueller’s Day Off music

His joke about the middle seat has me leaving 😂. Love it when reviewers have fun with it, keeps it real 🤓

Yeah, the jokes make laugh those who can actually relate to them personally

I think the rear end is hideous🤢. And the previous generation Niro was way better looking altogether IMO.

I have an e-soul at work, it also has 204hp and a range of about 450km, the kia does a great job and it’s one great car to drive. And I have to say that I like the steering wheel on the e-soul much more than this one on the niro.

Good review as usual from Matt. Kia always seem to put the speedo on the left. For some reason, this really annoys me. All my 78 cars have had the speedo on the RIGHT. As it is a digital dash board, can it be reconfigured to put the speedo where it SHOULD be?

The back of this car is actually terrible.

Does the lane departure warning stay off when you turn it off or does it turn itself on again when you go to use the car again?

@DidiervanHaaren

After you restart the car it’s on again. But turning off isn’t as hard as Mat shows in video. Holding the lane assist-button on the steering wheel for a few seconds wil stand.

Just priced on Kia website. Full EV with the Harman kardon sound £42k. My Audi Q4 sportbk with Sonos, waiting on order since Aug 21!!!!! £45k. Kia PCP 37 months only, Audi over PCP offers up to 48 mths. Which will hold value better at the end?

Hi Matt given what’s happening with inflation & cost of fuel can you PLEASE do MORE videos of most fuel efficient cars AND electric cars with longest range. This is more important than ever now.
