A lot of folks put the price on the fence. That's the kicker thing for a lot of people. I agree that it was stupid for them to list that it has sluggish acceleration in eco mode though. The review itself is just to take with a grain of salt as everyone has their preferences
Overall I like the car (19, 718 miles now) at 51.2MPG AVE per Fuelly. Account name is "Our Niro" if anyone wants to check Fuelly.
I like the car but the surging, jerking (whatever you call it) is aggravating. Our car does not show extreme symptoms, but it is noticeable when I does it...
Autocar123 recently posted up some of the key likes and dislikes of the Niro. One of the main criticisms is the lack of an AWD option, but there have already been hints to that setup for the PHEV model. Feel free to share your opinions on their impressions.
This is perhaps the most detailed review on the 2018 Niro PHEV model out there (EX Premium, US market).
The review, Alex on Autos, is considered by many as one of the best car reviewers so I thought I'd share his review for those interested in the PHEV model
