I have a 2020 Niro PHEV and frankly the gas motor is piece of shit. Last year they had to rebuild the entire thing after some piston parts failure. They had the car in the shop for almost 2 months because they had a back order on the engine parts. Luckily all has been well since then.
Kia has a pretty shit record with gas engines, but has been pretty good on the electric drivetrain. Hopefully they continue to make solid EVs. There need to be more lowish cost models out there.
Except for the one I bought it turns out…

I just got a 2024 Kia Niro Wave EV! Hopefully that means this thing doesn’t give us problems!
