Why is my Kia Niro's engine making loud noises?

I recently purchased a Kia Niro and have noticed that the engine makes loud noises when I start it. It doesn't seem to affect the performance, but I'm worried about potential damage. What could be causing this and should I get it checked out?

It's possible that the noise is coming from a faulty exhaust system. I suggest taking it to a mechanic to have it checked out and potentially replaced if needed.

Check the oil levels in your car. Low oil can cause loud engine noises. If that's not the issue, it's best to get it checked by a professional mechanic.

I had a similar issue with my Kia Niro and it turned out to be a loose belt. It's a simple fix and shouldn't be too expensive to get it tightened or replaced if necessary.

From personal experience, I would highly recommend getting it checked out as soon as possible. I ignored a similar issue with my car and it ended up causing more serious damage, leading to a costly repair.
