A hybrid vehicle incurs a greater purchase price than a petrol counterpart, with servicing costs being elevated—particularly during the fourth service when maintenance on the hybrid system occurs. Insurance premiums are increased; however, the superior fuel efficiency may render the overall expenses comparable to those of a petrol vehicle. The high-voltage battery is encompassed by a seven-year warranty. With a PHEV, one must consider the complexities associated with charging. You should also consider your sentiments towards net zero.

We achieve 55-60 miles per gallon from a 2022 Niro HEV. I have been informed that despite the increased complexity of the mechanics, the engine experiences reduced stress during acceleration due to the activation of the battery and motor. Knock on wood, we have experienced considerable happiness thus far.

I have owned a 2021 Kia e-Niro for two and a half years. The battery is covered under the 7-year warranty, provided it is maintained according to the specified service plan. I have been thoroughly satisfied with the vehicle. It is remarkably economical to use and maintain; nevertheless, I possess a home charger and benefit from overnight charging at 7p/KwH. If home charging were unavailable, I would purchase a petrol-only vehicle, at least until public charging gets more affordable (the availability of public charging is rather satisfactory currently). Kia continues to produce a substantial number of gasoline-powered vehicles, especially in the pre-owned market.

I found it quite enjoyable. Ample interior space. Acquire 4 Spec and you possess all the equipment.

The hybrid Niro does not require charging. Only a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) operates in this manner, particularly when not charged at home. Consequently, I would refrain from acquiring a PHEV. This is the outcome I derived from my HEV.

My Ceed operates solely on fuel. Vehicles registered in 2022 are available for purchase, but only petrol models; the status of diesel models remains uncertain.

Niro is available exclusively in non-petrol variants.

Would you not simply procure petrol at that point? You are correct; you are assuming certain disadvantages (complexity) without reaping the advantages (savings and environmental benefits). I am unable to provide answers to your other enquiries.

Hello, I own a Kia Rio, which has proven to be exceptionally reliable. My daughter is in search of a quality used vehicle that is little larger than mine, prompting me to consider the Niro. Regrettably, home charging appears unfeasible; although she has adequate space, she resides in a rental property and lacks a separate electrical meter. I have two enquiries: Would you purchase a Niro, knowing that you would predominantly operate it on petrol? I believe that hybrids are more sophisticated and that their servicing may be costlier than that of diesel or petrol vehicles. There may be further disadvantages of which I am unaware. Secondly, if she seeks a conventional diesel or petrol vehicle, what possibilities are available from Kia? I can observe their present production (predominantly hybrid or electric), but I am unaware of when they ceased manufacturing diesel or petrol models, particularly in the larger body sizes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Is the battery included in the 7-year/100,000-mile guarantee for their hybrid and electric vehicles? Thank you for your counsel.

After 6600 miles, I have yet to encounter anything approximating this condition. I recommend taking it to the dealer for inspection.

Negative, I have not. The nearest information I received indicated that the front radar was unable to detect any objects. It was also a clear day. It occurred once and has not recurred thus far. I am uncertain whether your issue would generate any codes. It may be beneficial to investigate it.

Is there no one else experiencing this issue?

2025 CX70, 3,000 miles. Whenever I stop behind a vehicle at a traffic light, the front camera activates and emits a continuous beeping sound, indicating that I am dangerously close to the car in front, regardless of whether I am two feet or six feet away. This issue has become extremely frustrating, as it did not occur when I initially purchased the vehicle; it began approximately three weeks ago. I have attempted to modify the safety settings, but it has made no difference. I would like to know if there is an action I can take, or if I need to schedule an appointment and bring it in. I am curious if this issue has occurred or is occurring for others as well.

While the pricing at wiperblades appear competitive, additional mailing fees may render them costlier than alternatives.

I have utilised Bosch blades several times, which are far cheaper than those at ECP and Halfords.

I purchased the Bosch A844S from GSF in August for £31.19. At that time, this was far less expensive than other options; however, it appears that prices on Amazon, eBay, and similar platforms are now considerably lower. The primary issue I encountered was positioning the wipers vertically for proper installation.

Fitment can occasionally provide a challenge with aftermarket components. I obtain my from MB. No frivolity, then. Additionally, several aftermarket blades may have been stored for several years, resulting in aged rubber.
