With a starting price of $40,995—well below the $46,380 Tesla Model Y—it comes loaded with features designed for everyday protection, like standard Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance and Downhill Brake Control for added control on tricky terrain.

Unbeatable All-Electric Mileage

When it comes to electric efficiency, the 2025 Kia Niro EV edges out the Tesla Model Y with superior mileage ratings. The Niro EV boasts an impressive 126 MPGe in the city and 101 MPGe on the highway, making it one of the most efficient EVs in its class. In comparison, the 2025 Tesla Model Y falls behind slightly, rated at 110 MPGe city and 97 MPGe highway. This means the Niro EV not only helps drivers go farther on a single charge, but it also delivers greater long-term savings—especially considering its lower starting price. For eco-conscious drivers looking to maximize efficiency without breaking the bank, the Niro EV makes a compelling case.

Long-Lasting Warranty

When it comes to warranty coverage, the 2025 Kia Niro EV clearly outshines the Tesla Model Y, offering drivers greater peace of mind and long-term protection. The Niro EV includes a 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty—outlasting the Model Y's 4-year/50,000-mile coverage by a full year and 10,000 miles. Kia also provides a class-leading 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, covering essential components like the engine and drivetrain, whereas Tesla's powertrain warranty ends after just 8 years. On top of that, the Niro EV comes with 24-hour roadside assistance and is backed by a much larger dealer network—over four times the size of Tesla's—making it significantly easier to access service when needed. For reliability and support, the Niro EV stands far ahead.

2025 Tesla Model Y

The Tesla Model Y may have held prestige in the past, but competition, like Kia, has been quickly overtaking the brand. With less-than-stellar mileage, warranty, and safety features offered standard, all for a much higher price, Tesla is overshadowed by Kia's improvements. This is why:

Expense Without Recompense

The 2025 Tesla Model Y may carry a luxury label with its $46,380 starting price, but when it comes to essential safety, it leaves some gaps—especially compared to the more affordable 2025 Kia Niro EV, which starts at just $40,995. While the Model Y impresses with sleek aesthetics and high-end tech, it skips over practical features like Rear Cross-Traffic Warning, Downhill Brake Control, and a back seat reminder—key for preventing child hot car tragedies. The Niro EV includes all of that and more, including a drowsiness-detection system and a GPS-linked emergency response feature that can automatically call for help after a crash. With stronger standard safety, standout value, and a lower price point, the Niro EV isn't just an alternative—it's a smarter choice. Swing by Casa Kia and test drive the 2025 Niro today—luxury-level safety without the luxury price.

Mileage

The 2025 Tesla Model Y, while efficient, falls behind the 2025 Kia Niro EV when it comes to electric mileage. The Model Y is rated at 110 MPGe in the city and 97 MPGe on the highway. In comparison, the Niro EV offers superior efficiency, with an impressive 126 MPGe city and 101 MPGe highway. This means the Niro EV allows drivers to go farther on a single charge, while also providing greater long-term savings—especially considering its lower starting price. For eco-conscious drivers seeking maximum efficiency without the hefty price tag, the Niro EV offers an undeniable advantage. Not ready to commit to electric just yet?

Warranty

When it comes to long-term peace of mind, the 2025 Kia Niro EV leaves the Tesla Model Y playing catch-up. While Tesla offers a 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty, Kia ups the ante with a 5-year/60,000-mile plan—and backs it with an industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty that covers vital components like the motor and drivetrain. Tesla's coverage ends two years sooner. The Niro EV also includes 24/7 roadside assistance and is backed by a massive dealer network that's more than four times larger than Tesla's, making service and support far more accessible. For drivers who value protection, dependability, and convenience, the Niro EV clearly comes out ahead.
