Kia Niro
What it says about you
Opinion
A small hybrid crossover with no wasted ideas. It is efficient, practical, and nobody has ever been excited about it, including you.
Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.
11 model years on record, 138 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has 2. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.
The years to look at closely: 2023 (warning). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.
Every year
- 2027 nothing on record 0 complaints
- 2026 nothing on record 2 complaints
- 2025 1 recall 15 complaints
- 2024 1 recall 15 complaints
- 2023 warning 56 complaints
- 2022 1 recall 41 complaints
- 2021 1 recall 9 complaints
- 2020 1 recall 0 complaints
- 2019 1 recall 0 complaints
- 2018 3 recalls 0 complaints
- 2017 4 recalls 0 complaints
