Niro EV

The Kia Niro EV is a 5-seat SUV with front-wheel drive, sold new from 2022 to 2025, when it cost £37,295 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.8 seconds, slower than 69% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 239 miles (385 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 41% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 149th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.7 mi/kWh (168 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 64.8 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 70 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 235 miles (379 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery.

Second-hand, a 2022 example is estimated at £12,000–£14,100 and a 2025 one at £21,300–£24,200, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2022 car should still manage about 221 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
