Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Niro than in the Honda HR-V, due to its greater head- and legroom.
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Honda HR-V and the Kia Niro.
Convenience
The Kia Niro requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Honda HR-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). When looking only at MSRP, the Honda HR-V will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Kia Niro.
Dimensions
The Honda HR-V is about the same width as the Kia Niro.
For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Honda HR-V, which is slightly longer than the Kia Niro.
Handling
The Honda HR-V has a larger turning radius than the Kia Niro, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
The Honda HR-V has a little more horsepower than the Kia Niro.
Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Honda HR-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 HR-V and the Kia Niro.
The Honda HR-V has less cargo space than the Kia Niro, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
