Common problems and easy repairs on a 2017 Niro

The 2017 Kia Niro LX is a rather easy vehicle to maintain. Connecting your phone via Bluetooth won’t be a problem thanks to the clear instructions on the touchscreen menu. The unobstructed access to the engine coolant reservoir will allow you to reliably monitor your fluid levels. The engine air filter is accessible without the use of tools, which will allow for hassle-free changes.

However, the 2017 Kia Niro LX does have its fair share of complications. The main rear bulb housing must be entirely removed in order to change some of the tail lights, which won’t allow for reliable changes. Performing a coolant flush may be problematic as you must work upside-down while underneath the vehicle to remove a large access panel first. The provided tow hook and compression kit may not assist you if you break down in an isolated area or your tire is severely damaged.
