Comfort
The Jeep Cherokee offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Kia Niro, with comparable head- and legroom.
The Kia Niro offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Jeep Cherokee, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Jeep Cherokee as you will with the Kia Niro, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.
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 Jeep Cherokee is somewhat more expensive than the Kia Niro.
Dimensions
The Jeep Cherokee is a little wider than the Kia Niro, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze.
For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Jeep Cherokee, which is slightly longer than the Kia Niro.
Handling
The Jeep Cherokee has a larger turning radius than the Kia Niro, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
The Jeep Cherokee has a little more horsepower than the Kia Niro.
Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Jeep Cherokee 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 Jeep Cherokee and the Kia Niro.
The Jeep Cherokee has less cargo space than the Kia Niro, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
