    Unless they are heated solely by the ICE ?

    How far can they drive on leccy ?


    does seem that when I put on the fan (unless its really low) that the ICE kicks in.

    Range is approx 55km on the battery.



    I can turn on fan when its plugged into the charger, just cant time it (or at least see how to do it).

    Do you know the battery capacity ?

    PHEV are small batteries usually so I could understand that there would be no pre-heating when off the mains but they should when plugged in.

    The Outlander PHEV can pre heat but has I think 12 Kwh battery.

    The BMW i3 Rex has 21-33 Kwh so plenty for pre heating. The 42 Kwh sadly has no Rex.

    8.9kWh in Niro PHEV... which I believe is total, so usable is less.
    50km+ on EV only but the motor is only 59kW, I think, so the ICE kicks in if you try anything aggressive.

    Folks

    Can Niro Phev be preheated? Can’t seem to find that setting? Or is it just for full EV model?

    You should post again to the Niro PHEV thread...

    Now before everyone does get excited. I did say a number of pages back that Kia dealer had mentioned a press eNiro would be over in Feb time frame and would do a lap of Ireland, this was for press only and maybe some of dealers might get for some test drives.....

    I am checking but this could be the case......

    The fact a car has arrived indicates that deliveries shouldnt be too far away.

    No point bringing over car for demo/press work if delIveries are 2020.

    Yes for sure if I walk into a dealer in a country eNiro is already for sale i could well be told 12 months delivery.

    But that doesnt stop Kia allocating cars to Ireland - and the fact this car is here shows that.

    I've already been into my local Kia dealer a couple of times showing strong interest in eNiro.

    I called the sales manager when I saw that picture. He is still saying first customer cars will be 2020. Demo cars will be around and orders will be taken, but he reckons that the chances of seeing a customer car on 192 plates are none and nonner. :D

    Dealer rang me today to say they have an eNiro demo available for test drives. Arrived this week. Seems they are in NI as well in Downeys.

    Price appears to be €35k after incentives.

    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    €35k on the road would not be a bad price. It's a size up from Kona and it does have a better spec?

    i'd have bought one at that price rather than a Kona. Not sure what the spec is, but the PHEV is pretty decent compared to the Kona.

    Size is way bigger too.

    Niro looks a lot better, it doesn't have nearly as much of that obnoxious plastic that makes the Kona look like very cheap, except it's far from cheap.

    Not as badly stripped down as the Kona, but the ones in Cork don't seem to have ventilated seats, electric adjustment seats or seat memory.

    :(

    Spec seems to be pretty close to the UK spec.

    - Leather
    - Heated front seats
    - Heated steering wheel
    - Rear parking sensors
    - LKAS + Smart Cruise

    Features missing from UK First Edition
    - Front parking sensors
    - JBL sound system (TBC)
    - Electrically adjustable front seats (TBC)

    'Real world' it's going to be closer to 230-260km I'd say. EPA combined efficiency was around 16.7kWh/100km for the larger 64kWh back IIRC.

    Some photos of the UK version here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-PgV1gvbpnoEGtESSI3895D0ajLoXago

    Interior looks pretty cheap for a £33k car...
