Kia Niro EV

Which is why the Ioniq 5 is so popular, relatively speaking so much more car for the money. IMO current Niro pricing is ridiculous and simply not vfm. Particularly as its a very conservative and boring design as EVs go

If the price of the car has increased then it's reasonable to assume the price of the Gap Insurance has risen I'd assume?

Liffey Valley, Dublin €199 :(

Kia Dundrum a few quid cheaper

In limerick I had the first two at something like €95 and then €120. The third at 45,000km is going to be around €450 due to the coolant change which is just bonkers. Ridiculous having the service interval at every 15,000 km. Would love to know if there's a way of avoiding that big one without affecting warranty. Must be something magic (but not very durable) in that special blue coolant.

Hi

Did anyone get a pcp quote on the Niro with max deposit.

I got a quote not too long ago for the Hyundai ionic 5, but they where using the grant as part of the deposit which pushed up the finance and payments. do Kia do this also

I think it depends on who you get, when I bought my niro it wasn't included in the deposit but when my father went to the same dealer they told him it was part of it which would have pushed his payments up a good bit. He ended up going to a different dealer who didn't include it in the deposit so the payments were lower. I also have a deposit on a new one and they didn't include it in the deposit.

Ordered the EV and hoping to get it in early September. Does anyone know if the seats have a memory function?

Would anyone have a printout/summary of what was done on their second service.. When I collected the car the guy thought it was my first service and just wondering if they actually did anything other than inspect, wash, offer to charge me €200 for the "missing" inflation kit that was under the boot organiser, and didn't even stamp the book. Car is going back in a couple of weeks to have the whole radio/console removed to see if there's a wiring issue for my heat instead of a/c problem above 😩 so i can get them to stamp then.. I'm just wondering if they replaced anything that should have been replaced as i have the service plan and want my money's worth. (There's only 7000 odd kms on the clock thanks to Pandemic/WFH)

Also aren't they supposed to update the software at the service as mine is the same since I got the car 2 years ago?

Thanks!

The father picked up his PHEV this morning so I'll get a good look at it later, haven't seen one in the flesh yet so it'll be nice to get a good look at it. I'm waiting for the EV myself, have the old PHEV for the last 3 years and like it but full EV suits my use better now.

From what I'm told from Kia, my Niro EV was delivered to Ireland on the 29th July. I now have to wait for it to be delivered and registered etc. But if that's the case I could have it in the next 2 weeks. Maybe

That’s great to know. Must contact dealer on Tuesday.👍

Yeah it's on the spec sheet for the PHEV too but it's definitely not on the car, there's a little red SOS button there(might not be an actual button but it looks like one under clear plastic.

I agree about most of the stuff that's missing here, the only ones I would have really liked are the Harman Kardon sound system and the built in dash cam and even those are just convenience. I don't get the remote park on it really, most carparks where the spaces are tight and you might actually need it wouldn't have the room to pull the car out without turning, it'd never work in the airport carpark for example.

Out of curiosity, will you be getting the GAP insurance and Paint protection add-on? by any chance did you dealership give you a cost on how much it is?

I didn't even ask about that, figured he'll try when I'm in to get the car. I don't even have how much my monthly payments are yet, they gave me a rough price but had to check something with the GMFV for me and haven't gotten back to me yet.
