Comfort
The Honda CR-V offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Kia Niro, with comparable head- and legroom.
The Kia Niro will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Honda CR-V.
Convenience
The Kia Niro requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Honda CR-V, making it more convenient to drive.
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 Honda CR-V is somewhat more expensive than the Kia Niro.
Dimensions
Since the Honda CR-V is much wider than the Kia Niro, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
If you go with the Honda CR-V, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia Niro.
Handling
The Honda CR-V has a larger turning radius than the Kia Niro, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Honda CR-V greatly out-muscles the Kia Niro.
Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Honda CR-V does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia Niro.
Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Honda CR-V and the Kia Niro.
The Honda CR-V has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Kia Niro.
