Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda CR-V Hybrid than in the Kia Niro EV. 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 Honda CR-V Hybrid.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Honda CR-V Hybrid will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Kia Niro EV.

Dimensions
Since the Honda CR-V Hybrid is much wider than the Kia Niro EV, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Honda CR-V Hybrid, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia Niro EV.

Handling
The Honda CR-V Hybrid has a larger turning radius than the Kia Niro EV, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Kia Niro EV is clearly the choice over the Honda CR-V Hybrid for pulling heavy loads. In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Honda CR-V Hybrid and the Kia Niro EV.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Honda CR-V Hybrid transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Kia Niro EV.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Honda CR-V Hybrid and the Kia Niro EV. The Honda CR-V Hybrid has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Kia Niro EV.
