Estimated prices by model year in Germany, from its price when new and typical EV depreciation, and the real-world range you can expect today after about 2% battery wear a year. These are estimates, not valuations: mileage, condition and battery health make a big difference.

Summary
The Kia e-Niro 39 kWh is a 5-seat SUV with front-wheel drive, sold new from 2019 to 2020, when it cost €35,290 in Germany, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 9.8 seconds, slower than 90% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 146 miles (235 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it among the shortest-range 10% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 240th of 242 SUVs.
It uses around 3.7 mi/kWh (167 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 39.2 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 37 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 134 miles (215 km) at motorway speeds.
No heat pump is listed for this version, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L).
Second-hand in Germany, a 2019 example is estimated at €7,000–€9,700 and a 2020 one at €8,200–€10,800, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2019 car should still manage about 127 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
