Kia Niro Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year
Comment
2017
With EPA ratings of 51 mpg city and 46 mpg highway, the Kia Niro lags the related Hyundai Ioniq hatchback (57/59), especially on the highway, but easily tops other tall hybrids:
Toyota Prius V 44/40
Ford C-MAX 42/38
Nissan Rogue FWD 33/35
Nissan Rogue AWD 31/34
Toyota RAV4 AWD 34/30
In my suburban driving the trip computer averages ranged from 40 to 80 depending on how much of the drive was spent in EV mode, drawing from the small battery pack. On longer drives where this cheat wasn't possible 65 mpg was fairly easy to achieve. On a 70-mph highway the Niro averaged 57 mpg in one direction and 37 mpg in the other. Oddly, running the A/C didn't seem to make much difference. On one 57-mile drive that was a little over half highway with the ambient temperature in the 80s and the A/C running the Niro used a single gallon of gas. Impressive.
In the Ford C-MAX I averaged about 37 mpg in suburban driving, with just some trips over 40 mpg. The best I could get out of the Toyota RAV4 hybrid was 38 mpg. I observed trip averages in the 90s in the regular Prius, though.
