Re: New member - heading to pick up Niro tomorrow

Hi my hybrid 2017 only uses regen on breaking as no paddles. After 8 years still on original brake disc and pads 42000 miles. I do not like rear discs on regen fitted cars as they do so little work they just corrode and get pitted. I know newer cars have some auto system to reduce this lack of use b...

Re: Electronic brake

Interesting comment I have not noticed that detail but will check mine. I thought if you were stationary and adjacent vehicles seen by sensors the camera come on front and back with warnings based on distance away front or back!

Re: Full tank?

Agree the range is based on average MPG over recent journeys so obviously over 500 summer and 450 to 480 winter. Same effect on the last journey MPG based on distance and economy it will be adjusted according to speed ,terrain and traffic. It’s not scientific really just reality

Re: Order placed

Great car and am sure you will have many year’s enjoyment. My only reason for not having Niro EV US have had hybrid version for 7 years and want a version designed as EV from ground upwards and it’s likely to be my last car as DVLA will want all the older generation off the road

Re: Niro DashCam install

Hi Guys, my question too. How to remove the covers from around the rear view mirror. As you know there is permanent power here for the inside lights and we could add a dual connector for the dash cam to save running a cable to the fuse boxes! Why not!
