Kia Niro EV review: https://www.electrifying.com/reviews/kia/niro-ev/review
In the world of electric cars, the SUV sector is where it’s all happening. Whether you’re a fan or not, there’s no disputing the facts that family car buyers are continuing to choose mid-size SUVs in huge numbers.
The Kia Niro EV has been a fixture in the electric car market for five years, wowing buyers with its remarkable efficiency, practicality and value for money. Completely refreshed last year, it remains one of the best all-rounders in the business and still represents a great buy.
But the competition is now tougher than ever. BYD’s first offering for the UK market – the Atto 3 – hopes to take a bite out of Kia’s sales, and comes with a packed specification list and a decent range from its 60.5kWh battery pack.
But which is the most deserving of your cash? Join Tom as he pitches the BYD Atto 3 and Kia Niro EV head-to-head to find out which is the more convincing package. Do you agree with Tom’s verdict? Which would you choose from these two? As always, we love to hear your opinion, so please let is know what you think in the comments below.
