Considering buying HEV version of Niro
Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2019 6:39 pm
Hi all. Have been reading this forum for quite some time now. A lot of useful information ! I´m looking for a new car and Niro HEV seems to be good option. I haven´t been able to test drive one yet, hopefully it will happen soon. I have few questions what I haven´t found satisfing answers yet. Maybe somebody can help me out here.
1. Why there is 0 videos on the internet about Kia Niro HEV test in snow? This is just strange. I´ve reed here some comments about car´s capapilityes and that´s it. For example during last night it snowed 8 inches of snow at my place. I had some issues this morning with my Accord to get moving but 2.4 L engine did his job finally + good winter tyres. Does anyone has experience with this kind of situation?
2. Is it possible to install fuel powerd preheater (Webasto, Eberspächer) for heating up engine and inside of car on cold morning?
3. isn´t this foot operated handbreak in the way while driving? Could you accidentaly push it while driving ( streching your leg for example or something like that) ?
4. Has anyone installed after market power tailgate system?
5. Is it a good family car? I have two sons (4 and 12) and my wife. Is it comfortable for 4 or is this getting little bit too heavy for this car?
Ok, I think thats it... I know some answers I can get also from dealer but I thought if I´m writing here already then why not to ask. Thanks and all the best!
