Rewriting The Rulebook On Electric Driving

Powerful acceleration. A generous equipment list. Impressive range. It’s little wonder the New Kia e-Niro is WhatCar?’s Car of the Year. The New e-Niro’s revolutionary powertrain means an emission-free range of 282 miles, with enough power to sprint from 0-62mph in just 7.8 seconds.

Energy is stored in a large battery, which drives a powerful electric motor. To charge it, simply plug it into a home chargepoint, or a public charger when you’re out and about, and the car will take care of the rest. Plug it in at home, and you wake up every morning with a ‘full tank’*. In the case of the e-Niro, that’s a potential 282-mile range. The car then drives on battery power alone, there is no need to add petrol or diesel. It can even add charge to the battery while you are driving by recovering energy that would normally be lost, for example, through kinetic energy when braking.

Space is a luxury everyone can enjoy in the New Kia e-Niro, where you can pack the boot with 451 litres of cargo. The rear seats fold flat with a 60:40 split, making room for 1,405 litres.

Handling is impressive on the All-New Kia Niro because the batteries are in the floor, meaning it has a low centre of gravity, which helps minimise body roll while making the car feel planted, providing a fun, dynamic drive. The All-New e-Niro even has a sport mode as well as an efficient eco mode.

Cheap To Run and Zero Emissions

Luckily, being kind to the environment is also good for your wallet – electricity is much cheaper than petrol or diesel, so your journey may cost less than a third of what it would in a combustion-engined car. And that’s before you take into account the fact that battery-electric vehicles can also travel in the UK’s new and upcoming Clean Air Zones for free. There are tax incentives, too. There’s a £3,000 plug-in car grant available, plus, for company car drivers, battery-electric cars are subject to a lower company car BiK tax, which is currently 16%, but drops to 0% in 2020/2021. For home charging, there is a £500 OLEV government grant available to help with the cost of installing a home charge point.

Electric cars are incredibly quiet inside, making for a relaxing atmosphere. Driving is easy, too, because electric motors produce maximum torque at all revs, so acceleration is instant. There are no exhaust emissions from the tailpipe either as the New Kia e-Niro doesn’t even have a tailpipe. This is particularly helpful for improving air quality in urban areas.
