Frequently asked questions
What are the Kia e-Niro and Toyota C-HR+ like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 126 miles for the Kia e-Niro and 235 miles for the Toyota C-HR+ - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Toyota C-HR+ goes roughly 109 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Kia e-Niro or the Toyota C-HR+?
The Kia e-Niro is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 65 mm narrower than the Toyota C-HR+. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 595 mm of total clearance for the Kia e-Niro and about 530 mm of total clearance for the Toyota C-HR+. The Kia e-Niro also turns in a 0.4 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Kia e-Niro or the Toyota C-HR+?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 86% battery health for the Kia e-Niro and 84% for the Toyota C-HR+. That gives the Kia e-Niro a modest edge in retained real-world range. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. The Toyota C-HR+ has the longer battery warranty at 8 years, versus 7 for the Kia e-Niro.
