In normal mode, it is usually recuperated or sailed at level 1, Eco recuperation is standard at level 2, Eco + at level 3.

Then the Model 3 costs at least 57,900 euros, the economy version with 50 kWh should come in the second half of 2019. The Kia hangs something behind the store. A turn on the right reduces recuperation. No car has less than 300 kW 408 hp. After all, that should be enough for around 270 kilometers. There is still room for improvement when it comes to charging and telematics. Here goes about the same time between 20 and 80 percent according to Kia.

The e-Niro is very competitively priced, starting at £32,995 after the plug-in car grant — about the same as the Hyundai Kona 64kWh Electric Premium, despite a more generous standard equipment list. The route planning including loading stops also comes with new infotainment hardware. The big package weighs 453 kilos, the small one only 315 kg. He then delays with 0. As usual, they sort the recuperation strength.

The heavy batteries are finally in the subsoil and are not that difficult. Kia will be there then. Although he comes quite fast around the curves thanks to the relatively low center of gravity.

In predominantly economical driving style, but without Selbstkasteiung. The German competition is far from far. An app that allows the car to be externally monitored and programmed comes late in the coming year. We Gather all the material from the Internet, and we can not guarantee the accuracy of such information. That range is no hollow marketing line, either; we saw 250-260 miles in varied driving, including regular stints on the motorway. Especially the 2020 Kia e-Niro does not feel very special.

Even otherwise, the 2020 Kia e-Niro currently lacks, above all, the latest telematics. But luckily you do not have to load too often.

About his smaller sister model we spoke already. In addition, the operation is unnecessarily complicated if you want to be as efficient as possible. The 2020 Kia e-Niro with a 100 kW electric motor 136 hp has 180 battery cells with a capacity of 39. Sounds complicated, and it actually requires some familiarization. Kia, like Hyundai, builds two versions of each electric crossover. And the lack of route planning with charge stop calculation is not trivial given the locally still thin network of charging and especially fast charging stations.
