The Niro is one of the slower vehicles you'll find in this price range, barely breaking 80 mph at the quarter mile, but you can't argue with 53 mpg. That figure needs an asterisk, though — if you step up to the EX Touring or SX Touring trim, which come with 18-inch wheels instead of the standard 16s, you'll drop down to 49 mpg combined (53 city/45 highway).
The Niro PHEV makes a good case for itself given its modest starting price. You get more than 30 miles of electric range, more than 500 miles of total range, and pretty decent acceleration that's a huge improvement over the regular, non-plug-in Niro hybrid.
