I previously had a 2016 Kia Sorento turbo and if I came to a stop sign and went again, there was a delay before accelerating again, I got used to it but hated it. The Niro EV is not herky-jerky at all and when you drive in ECO mode, it is a nice feeling to have the vehicle slowing by regen especially when you need to slow down because of traffic and red lights.I'd like to know how easy it is to drive smoothly for a passenger when using levels of regen? I picture a situation where, say on regen 2, you decelerate then find you need to switch to the brake pedal because you are not slowing down quickly enough. Does that make the ride herky jerky?
Lektron, what trim level is your Niro? And what was the price?
I can't find any info on the Kia Canada web site, or any brochures, about what will be offered here.
Presumably the low-end trim will be just below C$45K to qualify for the fed rebate, but no idea what that includes, or if it will ever be available.
I believe that's true for the Nissan Leaf (or is it the reverse?), but this is the first I've heard of it for the Niro (or Kona or Bolt)....
Just remember lower trims will have less range I believe.

According to the online helper on the Kia website, the EX trim will have heated seats.Does Kia ex trim has heated seats in USA?

All these window sticker does not say if it has heated seats. Only top trim shows heated seats. Confusing.According to the online helper on the Kia website, the EX trim will have heated seats.
Also, interesting to note that the website doesn't show the Niro EV as available for sale yet, despite the fact that some sales have occurred.
I am holding the Kia Media Features and Options guide and it doesn't show the heated seats on the EX (just the upper trim)All these window sticker does not say if it has heated seats. Only top trim shows heated seats. Confusing.

Yeah. I looked it up on the media site and the EX does not get heated seats. They only come standard in EX Premium. Sorry about the bad info earlier.All these window sticker does not say if it has heated seats. Only top trim shows heated seats. Confusing.

You don't have it on the top model? It's a nice feature and includes mirrors, also the mirrors tilt in reverse, that was a nice surprise.Looks like you have the memory seats though. Not on us spec vehicles i dont think. Wonder if i will be able to upgrade?
We couldn't find it listed. Some of the seat features are deleted (removed and money reapplied to the vehicle price) on the US version.You don't have it on the top model? It's a nice feature and includes mirrors, also the mirrors tilt in reverse, that was a nice surprise.
