Pros & cons

Kia Niro

Up to 453 km range from a 64 kWh battery reduces charging stops on busy weeks
All-wheel drive traction supports confidence in mixed conditions and urban commutes
Room for five with a 425 L trunk suits small families and city errands
Low entry price of 23,900 helps more drivers step into an EV
Not for performance seekers; 0–100 km/h in 8.5 s and 180 km/h top speed are modest
Lacks a premium positioning; value takes precedence over luxury touches
Five-seat layout only, with no third row for larger families
425 L cargo space may be tight for bulky gear compared with larger vehicles

Kia Stonic 1.6 CRDi ISG 115 DCT

Low fuel use (4 L/100km) is efficient for its class
DCT automatic reduces effort in stop‑start city driving
Priced at 22000, it represents good value in its segment
Five seats and a 352 L boot cover daily small-family needs
0–100 km/h in 11.5 s and 115 hp won’t suit performance‑minded buyers
352 L cargo space is modest for load‑heavy use
Diesel powertrain won’t appeal to those seeking petrol or electrified options
Not aimed at a premium look or feel
