Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda Passport than in the Kia Niro EV. The Kia Niro EV offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Honda Passport, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

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 Passport is somewhat more expensive than the Kia Niro EV.

Dimensions
Since the Honda Passport 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 Passport, 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 Passport has a larger turning radius than the Kia Niro EV, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Honda Passport is clearly the choice over the Kia Niro EV for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Honda Passport greatly out-muscles the Kia Niro EV.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Honda Passport does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels 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 Passport and the Kia Niro EV. With the Honda Passport, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Kia Niro EV.
