Is water from the exhaust pipe normal?
I have a 2021 Kia Niro. From new it leaves a small pool of water from the exhaust. I reported this to the dealer who told me that it was nothing to worry about and to ignore it. I have had the car for two years now without any problems but am concerned about this issue. Dealer said water was from AC. Should it do this after each journey? Have you heard of this issue?

Water from the exhaust pipe is a natural phenomenon, usually more noticeable in cold weather, high humidity or if you frequently make short trips. If the vehicle is running normally and you are experiencing no other problems then it is highly unlikely this is anything to be concerned about.
