Radar2018's calculations are correct and his hypothesis sounds correct too.

The battery holds 64kWh. 3.6kWh/ mile would only give it a range of 17 miles...half that of my PHEV. 3.6 miles/kWh would give it a range of 240 miles which sounds right.

Niro EX? I guess you must be based in N. America. I imagine the EX is fitted the same as the European models. If so, then there is a plastic tray under the mat which contains the tyre repair kit. If you remove that tray, there is plenty of room for a space saver spare, jack and wheel brace, which yo...

took my phev in for its first service this week at Towehill Kings Langley. After i'd paid I realised that they had charged £157 even though they had quoted £150 on the phone. There were no unexpected extras on the invoice, so I queried it. I was assured that I'd been charged the correct amount, but ...

Hi H2onorth, I Just checked out the E-Niro at my local dealer. Its tyres are Michelin Primacy 3 215/55/R17. Those are rated as C for economy, A for wet grip/braking and 69dB for noise at 2 bar by Blackcircles. The PHEV is equipped with Michelin Energy Saver Plus, 205/60/R16 rated B, A, 70dB. So, if ...

Hi Biggeege. I just wondered what made you reply to a thread which had been quiet since last May? I think that the consensus amongst Niro owners is that the motoring press went a bit OTT when it came to criticising the car for grip and performance. It seems perfectly adequate for most of us. I certa...

Welcome. A not so old set of posts under this thread: https://www.niroforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=514 might give you some ideas about what we like and dislike. Personally: Likes - seating position, visibility, infotainment, ease of driving. fuel economy, Dislikes - Halogen headlamps, lack of sp...

What, you mean that multiplying by 8/5 is too difficult? ;) (double it 4 times and divide by 10 - it becomes easier with practice). Alternatively, you could always use Waze via Android Auto, and have it display the speed in km/hr on the Satnav display. Not ideal, but a workaround of sorts. Seriously...

Ok that’s useful to know. I assume though you don’t need the phone plugged in to use the Bluetooth phone calls?

That's correct, bluetooth does not require the phone to be connected.

Welcome to the forum. Hopefully you will be as pleased with the car as most of the rest of us. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have here. What spec have you gone for by the way?

When I taught my 3 to drive, there were a couple of occasions when I had to emergency stop the car on the handbrake. Not so much at the outset; more when they started to get (over) confident, and once when my daughter tried to stop and stamped on the accelerator by mistake! I don't think its safe to...
