If you’re a private hire driver looking for a new electric taxi look no further than the new Kia e-Niro, which we are delighted to now be able to offer at Cab Direct. We can offer you impressive savings on the manufacturer’s recommended retail price on this award-winning vehicle, recently announced as the What Car ‘Car of the Year’ 2020. What’s more, its zero-emissions mean that it is even suitable for driving in London!
Long Distance Driving Range
The new e-Niro is Kia’s first fully-electric crossover vehicle available in four different models, aptly named 2, 3 and 4+. Choose the entry-level model 2 and you will have a 134 bhp electric motor coupled with a 39 kWh battery pack and a top speed of 96 mph. However, opt for the 3 or 4 models to get a slightly bigger 201 bhp electric motor and 64 kWh battery. These models can reach a top speed of 104 mph and have a driving range of up to 282 miles!
Beautifully Quiet on the Road
Other than the obvious environmental benefits, electric cars have a great advantage over diesel or petrol engines as they are so quiet to drive. There’s no noisy combustion engine under the bonnet but simply an electric motor that you can barely hear when accelerating.
By switching to a zero-emission capable taxi you can save money on fuel costs and reduce harmful vehicle emissions. That’s exactly what they are enforcing in busy cities like London to help clean up the city’s air pollution. The Kia e-Niro is one of the few vehicles that’s approved to drive in London and the Government grant of up to £3,000 has already been deducted from our sales price. Plus, you’ll be eligible for a 100% discount on the current congestion charge! There’s a great network of EV charging points in London to help you recharge your taxi quickly and efficiently – or you might simply charge up home.
Excellent Warranty
If you choose to purchase a Kia you’ll benefit from their unique 7-year or 100,000-mile warranty that’s’ available on all vehicles. That means you can keep enjoying driving your Kia e-Niro for up to 7 years and should you come across any problems they should be quickly and easily fixed to get you back on the road and making money.
