Re: Euro Niro Safety Rating

There is some talk of this changing especially with optional equipment as insurers are finding optional radars & upgraded lights for instance increase repair costs for small knocks so may consider loading premiums for cars with options. It is a bit of a merry go round.

Re: Fuel consumption

Strangely in the PHEV you only have Sport mode in EV mode. In hybrid mode when you flip the stick across you only have manual mode.

Re: Heated mirrors?

Only one car (a Seat Mii) out of the 20 or so I have had with heated mirrors has had a separate switch & as it had no warning light and it was twisting the mirror switch to a different position I think the combined switch is much easier.
