Kia Niro

Kia Niro EV, first generation, 2019 to 2022 The Kona Electric's sensible cousin, with the same basic front-drive powertrain and a liquid-cooled 64 kWh battery rated at about 239 miles, but without the Kona's battery recall. Used buyers get a roomier wagon-shaped body and a pack with a good durability record so far. The trade-off is charging speed: it fills up slowly at a DC fast charger next to newer rivals, so it suits buyers who charge mostly at home. Kia's US EV battery warranty runs 10 years or 100,000 miles from the first sale, but Kia's warranty page does not spell out what passes to later owners, so confirm what remains for the VIN with a Kia dealer rather than trusting a listing.
