Kia is by far the best EV automaker at the moment. The Korean manufacturer uses the best components to craft reliable, powerful and advanced cars. Kia uses more powerful platforms in order to provide optimal performance, but also faster charging times. And this dedication has been profitable so far.
Consumer Reports just released reliability data on 2022 electric-vehicle models and came up with a top 10 of most reliable EVs on the market. Consumer Reports conducts auto surveys throughout the year where it solicits information from vehicle owners identifying problems that owners consider serious because of cost, failure, safety or downtime. The firm has received responses on over 300,000 vehicles in its last survey.
The Kia Niro provides better overall performance
Not only does the Niro EV offer top-of-the-line performance, it is also very reliable from a technical point of view. The 2022 model is powered by a 64-kWh battery and an electric motor that provides 201 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. It is rated for 385 kilometres of range; can be charged up to 80 per cent in just under an hour using a 100-kW DC fast-charger.
The Kia Niro has received a complete redesign for 2023, giving it several physical, technological and mechanical enhancements. It now provides over 400 kilometres of range and has a style that will make heads turn.
The Kia Niro is safe and versatile
Safety is also important in an EV. The NHTSA gave the Niro five stars on its crash tests. It comes with standard safety equipment such as forward collision warning (FCW), automatic emergency braking (AEB), blind spot warning (BSW), and rear cross-traffic warning (RCTW).
For those who love to travel, the Niro provides plenty of cargo space 645 litres when it is full of passengers and 1,897 litres when the rear seating area is folded down.
The Niro finishes ahead of models like the Chevrolet Bolt, the Nissan Leaf and the Tesla Model 3 making it a very interesting choice in the segment.
