Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the INFINITI QX50 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 INFINITI QX50.

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 INFINITI QX50 is somewhat more expensive than the Kia Niro EV.

Dimensions
Since the INFINITI QX50 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 INFINITI QX50, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia Niro EV.

Handling
The INFINITI QX50 has the same turning radius as the Kia Niro EV, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the INFINITI QX50 greatly out-muscles the Kia Niro EV.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the INFINITI QX50 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 INFINITI QX50 and the Kia Niro EV. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the INFINITI QX50 as you will in the Kia Niro EV.
