Kia Niro
2018 Niro
The Kia Niro has strong dependability ratings, with J.D. Power, the industry authority on these rankings, rating it as having better reliability than most. To complement that praise, the Niro gives new owners peace of mind with its 60,000-mile/five-year limited warranty, 100,000-mile/10-year limited powertrain warranty, and the 100,000-mile/10-year warranty on certain hybrid components.
The Niro’s reputation for reliability comes from more than just J.D. Power. The 2018 ownership survey from Driver Power ranked the Niro as second place in reliability out of a whopping 75 cars thanks to its 93.07-percent overall satisfaction score. Just some of the areas that received the highest praise from owners for functionality and dependability included the seats, interior, ride comfort, safety features, and highly-ranked user-friendly infotainment system. The only areas that owners cited for improvement were trunk space and performance. Similarly, Consumer Reports rated the 2017 Kia Niro as having the highest predicted reliability based on survey responses from 400,000 subscribers.
