Buying the 2017 Kia Niro
CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2017 Kia Niro before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 2017 Kia Niro before buying one.
What to check on the Niro
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 101 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked.
Engine and fuel
It runs the 1.6L 4-cylinder hybrid, with front-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Combined fuel use is 5.0 L/100 km: about 15 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $23.25 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$1,417 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space, size and seats
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. Its 623 litres of luggage space fit bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who the Niro suits
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Drive it on your own roads
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week with the Niro answers more than any brochure. A test week in the Niro tells you more than any review.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $77.50 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$1,417 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Over to you
