I have a spreadsheet in which I record, every time I refuel the car, the date, exact amount of fuel added, the odometer reading and it calculates the mpg for each tank and the cumulative overall mpg since I bought the car. My current 2021 GD 3 with 18" wheels has averaged 51.7 mpg over its 19,9...

My 2017 Niro Hybrid had the 12v lead acid battery in the boot - but it also had the vents in the rear seat to get cooling air onto the traction battery.

My present car is a 2021 Niro Hybrid with a 12v lo-ion battery under the rear set as depicted in the video.

If your Niro Hybrid does not have a 12 volt battery in the boot - it will have a 12 volt Lo-ion battery alongside the traction battery under the rear seat.

An update on my car not showing the cuise control set speed.

My car went in for its 2 year service and a KIA update yesterday. I had asked them to correct the cruise problem - and they did.

My best mate Google indicates that chrome covers for the new Niro are as rare as hens teeth - as you have undoubtedly discovered. If you find any - they will almost certainly be for LHD cars to serve the USA market where bling is king. I found an advert for black carbon fibre ones from a Chinese tra...

It seems that you need to update the maps in the car. You can do this via the KIA connect app or by using a PC to download the latest head unit and mapping software to a USB memory stick which is inserted in the USB data socket under the dashboard. I have found the USB method more user friendly Conn...

You were lucky it did not damage the housing. On my previous Niro someone unknown hit the drivers door and mirror in a builders merchant's car park when I was away from the car. It must have been a truck reversing. Hit and run. The total repair cost £2291 of which £412 was for the side mirror assemb...

I don't have an EV but I guess when you first switch the car on in the moring the systems and instruments boot up thus using some energy. Heve you tried making a note of the range, switching the car off, waiting for a couple of minutes before switching it back on again. Then see how much the range d...
