This sounds great. Hopefully one or two other sensibly priced options when the Karoq goes back next year. Hoping we can go all electric in next few years.

Having run 5 KIA Soul EVs at work for 3 years I am looking forwards to these.

There is a new Soul EV coming next year as well with the same motor and battery capacity as this Niro.

Are they planning on doing a minicab-spec on? If so, can I suggest they call it the dE-Niro?

 Always strange with What Car!   That is the Haymarket Media Group for you.

They do the same with Skoda making cars car of the year before customers can even get them.

 

£32.995 is you can reserve one.

 

Such a pity most EV's have no towing capacity and no everyman 7 seater option either (I'm not counting nissan's hideous eNV200 window van). In rural parts every man and his dog tows something and along with a non-existent charging infrastructure makes EV's a dead stick for now in rural parts, however much I'd like to embrace the technology, particularly in a package like the Niro.
