 Kia has hit the sweet spot for buyers like us with the Kia Nora EX hybrid plug-in.   After our 10 year old Prius died, we began looking for the next step up from a hybrid - all electric or plug-in that would allow my wife to drive 150 miles round trip  dailyto work without having to worry about recharging.  The Kia Niro does that easily combining both electric only of about 27-30 miles before the hybrid has to kick in.  But there's more.  The Kia Niro has a crossover/small SUV look that is more appealing than a sedan/hatchback look. And more -The EX interior is stylish, roomy, with more than enough safety and electronic amenities. And more - great warranties including 5 year/60K  comprehensive and  10 year on the battery.  And - what made it all pencil out are the numerous rebates and/or credits from state of CA, the feds, PG&E and even the local Sonoma Clean Power - all in all reducing the car price by $10,000 and throwing in a free superfast home charging station and a free carpool sticker.
