Wintermodus für Getriebe

Der Niro fährt mit etwas Gefühl im rechten Bein auch am Berg rein elektrisch und ultra soft an.
Ich sehe da keine Notwendigkeit für einen extra Wintermode oder andere Tricks.

launige Grüße

Wird das nicht durch den E-Motor noch softer? Der hat ja eh nicht so viel Power. Kombiniert mit guten Winterschuhen sollte das doch passen. Aber ich freue mich auf den ersten Schnee und werde aus dem Bergischen berichten

Bei euch liegt doch bestimmt schon Schnee. Wie fährt sich der Niro unter diesen Bedingungen?

Yes, we have some snow here in the north of Sweden but not a lot, but the cold weather is here - this morning minus 23 where I live......

I drive my Niro in the same way I always do and it works without problems. I use my electrical warmer a few hours in the morning (warming both me and the engine) and the real difference is that the petrol engine starts at once every time, which it doesn´t in warmer weather of course.

If snow has fallen during the night and the streets have been cleared, there is absolute no problem driving at around 5 l/100km in spite of the snow and the cold weather.
When I am on my way, the electrical engine runs the car in the same way it does in warmer weather.

The other day there was around 20 cm wet snow still on the road and on the 100 km I drove in those conditions, it showed 6l/100km.
In the evening I returned home on the same way after it had been cleared and when I got home I was back to 5,4..... in a warm and cosy car.

As you can see here in the left column (Spritmonitor) I am now on 5.0 totally after more than 2500 km in all weather conditions!

So, all in all I am very happy with my Niro! So far.......

It is easiest for me to compare the Niro to my latest front drive BMWs: 218i Active Tourer and 218d Gran Tourer.
In many ways they are very similar: neutral in balance and steering. Comfortable, safe, well equipped, high quality interior, good fuel economy. All of this is actually the main reasons why I bought the Niro! And to get all that for a bargain price is not bad.
I did not want to spend the same amount of money on the car when I retired and the Niro fits perfect in that sense.

I am (normally) not a speed monster and the way the traffic is up here you can drive in your own speed without a lot of fellow drivers interfering with your driving. A stress free driving

I don´t think I have ever seen the ESP indicator blink at all in normal driving on the Niro - I don´t even know where it is, but.... as with the BMWs, I have to turn it off when there is a lot of snow on the driveway up to my yard - otherwise I will get stuck.
That´s normal and has nothing to do with the sort of car I drive.

The brakes takes some time getting used to. That has to do with the braking taking part in the battery loading of course. BMW has some sort of system for recovering energy too, but you don´t notice that at all.

The new 218d is one of the best engines I have ever driven and I am not going to compare it with the KIA on the same day....... Not a surprise, though! The 3 cylinder petrol engine in the 218i is a very good engine as well.

Drivning on a normal winter road with some snow left, the Niro is very well balanced and makes me feel safe. The tires are very important here of course and the Kuhmos (with spikes) I have on the Niro, feels as good and safe as the Finnish Nokians I had on my BMWs.

As for over/understeering the keyword is: neutral! (as the BMWs), but then I still haven´t driven it with 100 liters of Mosel Wine in the back - that will happen in our trip to Germany in the summer
