Comparison Review

Comfort
The Audi Q4 e-tron offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Kia Niro EV, with comparable head- and legroom. The Kia Niro EV will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Audi Q4 e-tron.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Audi Q4 e-tron will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia Niro EV, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Audi Q4 e-tron is much wider than the Kia Niro EV, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Audi Q4 e-tron, which is slightly longer than the Kia Niro EV.

Handling
The Audi Q4 e-tron has a smaller turning radius than the Kia Niro EV, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Audi Q4 e-tron and the Kia Niro EV.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Audi Q4 e-tron and the Kia Niro EV. The Audi Q4 e-tron has less cargo space than the Kia Niro EV, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
