Sitting in the e-Niro, the initial impression was positive. Upon starting the car, a pleasant melodic sound played (especially enjoyable in an echoing garage!), and it turns out this sound can accompany the car throughout the drive if desired. However, the noise inside the cabin was quite noticeable, and if this vehicle were to be taken home permanently, proper sound insulation would be necessary. Another concern was the high seating position, which couldn’t be adjusted lower. The driving experience was enjoyable, but accelerating and pushing the pedal to the floor resulted in some unsettling steering wheel movement. The fact that the e-Niro is front-wheel drive raised some doubts, especially considering winter conditions and occasional trips to the countryside where all-wheel drive would be more practical. If the other aspects had been outstanding, this criterion might have been overlooked. Until trying out the Hyundai Kona, the e-Niro’s “cockpit” seemed quite ergonomic, but the Kona proved to be even better. Surprisingly, the e-Niro surpasses the more luxurious Jaguar I-Pace in this regard. The I-Pace has many buttons that initially feel awkward. The fewer buttons, the better, and transferring most controls to a touchscreen allows for updates and additional features even after purchase. Unfortunately, of the electric vehicles available here, only Tesla offers this feature.
