Re: Hi all

Hi all, I have the 1917 Niro Exec purchased in Holland, love it, but to answer the tow bar / traller hitch question...we had it installed as an option, pre-delivery. The legal limits are for a trailer of max 600 kg if trailer has no brakes or 1300 kg if it does have. Further, according to the specs ...

Re: ANDROID AUTO™ AND APPLE CARPLAY™ FOR LATEST KIA MODELS

Had my update which included AppleCarPlay done a few days ago. It is a software update via an SD Card which took about an hour for installation and checking. It was done for free, with a smile and all works well. (Again this is in Holland.)

Re: What Colour Niro?

We have the Graphite (executive, maybe the same as UK's first edition)... love the color and the car. Had to wait 2 1/2 months for delivery.

Re: ANDROID AUTO™ AND APPLE CARPLAY™ FOR LATEST KIA MODELS

This of course is in Holland but I called my dealer two days ago and he said it would be just a few more days until the upgrade was available. Will let you know, for what it's worth, when they call me, as they promised. Meanwhile, I'm able to use my iPhone as a "personal Hot Spot" which he...

Re: ANDROID AUTO™ AND APPLE CARPLAY™ FOR LATEST KIA MODELS

Wondering if Apple CarPlay will be possible to install, later on, via a software update or are we doomed to surgery or just non-availability?

New Niro in Dutch Land

Hi all, I took delivery of our Platinum Graphite Niro Exec. on 2 Jan after a 2.5 month wait...and that was with luck as our agent made a trade with another dealer so we could get the the color and edition we desired ASAP. Love the car. Have driven in high wind with rain...it just slipped through wit...

Re: Towing

Hi, I'm living in The Netherlands and picked my Niro up yesterday from a dealer in Velsen Noord, Tinhoult Kia. The towing hitch clicks in when needed and nothing is visible when removed. Even has a key-lock. I believe the outfitting of the various Niro models is different from country to country. We...

Re: Towing

Taking delivery of my Niro Exec., with towing hitch, tomorrow. Have seen after-market, bolt-on, hitches advertised for Niros sold without. On mine, as ordered from the dealership, there will be some added features...for free. A larger electric fan system for engine cooling and larger disc brakes. Th...
