If we're being honest, the promised association between supreme reliability and electric vehicles hasn't exactly come to fruition. But that's not because many automotive brands aren't fulfilling their end of the bargain – EVs should, in theory, require less maintenance than a traditional vehicle – but rather because one infamous automaker (which we'll leave unnamed) has struggled to impart their vehicles with the quality customers demand in 2022.
With a test sample of over 300,000 vehicles, Consumer Reports reliability testing is the leader in automotive dependability ratings. It's not just the sampling size that makes Consumer Reports the class of the field – it's the breadth of information put to the test and the accuracy with which Consumer Reports weights the information.

Kia's presently transitioning from the first generation of the Niro (which has historically been available as a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid, as well) into the stylish second-gen model, but we expect much of the Niro's appealing efficiency perks to continue. That means estimated range of 385 kilometres, a very affordable price point, tons of cargo capacity, and loads of premium features.
