![]() Again for context, the Nissan Qashqai weighs around 1300 to 1450kg, depending on variant. The hybrid claims braked and unbraked numbers of 1300 and 600kg, while the EV lists 750 and 300kg respectively.īoth cars are on the heavier side of the small SUV segment, the EV in particular due to its big battery pack, with the hybrid tipping the scales at 1454kg and the EV at 1727kg. The hybrid is the pick if you intend to do any towing, although – like all small SUVs – neither offers particularly impressive numbers. The hybrid is markedly slower, with a claimed 0-100km/h time of 10.4 seconds and a 7.6-second shuffle from 80 to 120km/h. The Niro has not yet been given an ANCAP crash safety rating. Standard safety kit includes autonomous emergency braking with junction collision avoidance, blind-spot collision avoidance, rear cross-traffic collision avoidance, lane-keep assist, multi-collision braking, a centre side airbag, intelligent speed limit assist, reversing camera, rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control and high-beam assist. Going for the electric S over the hybrid improves the feature list, adding 17-inch wheels, interior V2L (vehicle-to-load appliance charging), and a full 10.25-inch instrument display behind the steering wheel. ![]() There’s no integrated sat-nav in the S grade, but this is easily overcome with phone mirroring – as Kia obviously expects most buyers to be satisfied with. The lacklustre equipment list in the entry-level S is sure to inspire an upgrade to GT-Line – as surely intended – with features limited to 16-inch alloy wheels, an 8.0-inch infotainment display coupled to a retro-styled instrument cluster with fixed LCD animations and a 4.2-inch screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, six speakers, a polyurethane steering wheel and combination cloth/artificial leather seat trim, and a laminated windscreen. Despite this, Kia says orders for the plug-in hybrid version of the big Sorento SUV have been strong, if strangled by supply issues. Kia’s outgoing Niro – mechanically a twin to the original Hyundai Ioniq trio – was only on sale in Australia for a year, with the local business unable to secure supply until quite some time after its 2016 overseas launch.įor the new model, Kia Australia will have around 80 cars available each month, with some 60 per cent of those expected to be made up of orders for the EV.Ī plug-in hybrid EV model remains an option overseas, but this time the local range goes without, Kia citing a lack of demand for the variant in the outgoing generation. That assault won’t come through the virtue of being much more affordable than the EV6, but rather because Kia’s Australian arm has confirmed moderately better supply for the Niro than it’s been able to get for the EV6. ![]() Once you secure financing and drive home to Prescott, AZ or beyond in your new or pre-owned Kia, remember that our service and parts staff are here for you throughout your vehicle ownership with genuine Kia parts and quality auto maintenance.It’s here, Kia’s move on what passes for a volume-selling proposition in the Australian EV market: the new 2023 Niro electric SUV.
