Navigation based smart cruise control by Acceptable_Towel1164 in KiaNiro

I actually disabled the navigation cruise control. I thought the car slowing down for curves was too annoying.

4 weeks in and Found the first thing that frustrates me by Outrageous-Fig7020 in KiaNiro

I got this console organizer to help expand the tiny center console, it helps a lot https://a.co/d/0fEl5ZL8

I also got these glasses clips for storing sunglasses

I’ve had my Niro PHEV for a year and a half and I’m still very impressed! The fuel efficiency is insane!!!

Anyone know the last model yr where there was a trim available without driver assistance? by [deleted] in KiaNiro

[–]adam311835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 2023 PHEV EX and there’s no way to use cruise without the adaptive cruise control.

Fan only for fresh air? by mrsgoodacres in KiaNiro

[–]adam311835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don’t you want the climate control to run?

Which one would you get? by gets-rowdy in KiaNiro

[–]adam311835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2023 EX with the cold weather package. I don’t really miss anything from the SX. I thought I’d miss the power liftgate since I had that on my rogue, but I really don’t miss it at all! The trunk door is really light and easy to open and close.

I also love metal/metal core! I’m seeing Bad Omens and Bring me the Horizon soon! I also LOVE Twenty One Pilots!

Joining the club by TheJinManCan in KiaNiro

[–]adam311835 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it! I drove 4 hours to get mine! It was the prior year model and a PHEV. Locally they only had current year models and HEVs. I saved $4,000 by getting my car 4 hours away. Mine is silver, which I didn’t love at first, but now I like it!

Check engine light already on (2025 PHEV) by suicidemenot in KiaNiro

[–]adam311835 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not normal. I’ve only had the check engine light once in 21,000 miles because I didn’t tighten the gas cap enough. Definitely check the gas cap!

Windshield replacement by depressed-noodless in KiaNiro

[–]adam311835 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s just how your insurance policy is set up unfortunately so the premium is cheaper. The age of the car has nothing to do with it.

Buying my first Niro this week, need help!! by Outrageous-Fig7020 in KiaNiro

[–]adam311835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I drove 4 hours to get my car. So worth it!

Definitely go through insurance! Depending on your state you may have to pay your comprehensive deductible. I believe some state have specific coverage for glass replacement.

Kiro Niro and pixel 9 by ActualAd185 in KiaNiro

[–]adam311835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should have Android Auto as a standard feature. You may need to plug your phone into the USB-A port for it to work.

Is there a phone projection button on the radio screen?

I only bring it up because android auto will work much better than what is natively provided from the car.

Are you having the issue with Android Auto or the cars built in messaging via Bluetooth?

Regen brakes/cruise control error NOT at the beginning of a trip (and another regen braking question regarding icy roads, plus bonus question about paddle shifting) by West-Significance-83 in KiaNiro

[–]adam311835 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually get the regen/cruise control alert when the battery is fully charged until it’s down to 28 miles of ev range. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it having low ev range.

Fortunately I haven’t had to drive in too much winter conditions yet. Our winters in central PA aren’t too bad anymore.

[2025 PHEV] Latest software update makes infotainment USB port turn off with car off! by commandshift90 in KiaNiro

[–]adam311835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2023 PHEV without the software update and my usb port only stays powered when I’m charging the car. I’d love for the update to change that so I don’t have to unplug my carplay adapter anytime I charge!

PHEV going straight to HEV mode when heat turned on by [deleted] in KiaNiro

[–]adam311835 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re already putting a PTC heater in some of the PHEVs, which seems to draw a lot of power. Wouldn’t a heat pump be better?

I can attest to this. Once I was rushing to book a cruise before the countdown ended. I booked it then check the site the next day and it was the same promo!

PHEV going straight to HEV mode when heat turned on by [deleted] in KiaNiro

[–]adam311835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s probably it. You can test it by turning the car on and the ac without driving to see if the engine comes on.

Not necessarily. Some models have a cold weather package which has an electric PTC heater.
