Is this used Kia Niro EV a fair price?

Enter the year, kilometres and asking price to see where it sits against typical prices.

How well equipped is it?

Tip: the ad usually lists the features. More extras than most ads for the same year means fully loaded.

An estimate, not a valuation. Why

It compares the asking price with typical November 2026 prices for that year (carsales/RedBook and Glass's Guide). Condition, options, service history, battery health and where you live all move the price. For a formal valuation use RedBook or a dealer, and always do a PPSR check for finance owing or a written-off history.

Kia Niro EV recalls in Australia (2)

Every recall has a free fix at a dealer, so a recall doesn't rule a car out. Make sure each one was done: ask for the paperwork or enter the VIN at vehiclerecalls.gov.au.

Battery and warranty

7 yrs / 150,000 km (claim if capacity drops more than 25%). The warranty runs from when the car was first sold, so a 2021 car has about 2 years left and a 2024 car about 5 years left. Ask for a battery health (state of health) report before you buy: how to check the battery, including independent tests from about $200. Got a reading or the range at 100%?

What is the battery warranty on a used Kia Niro EV?
