Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Niro than in the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, 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 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe and the Kia Niro.

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 Grand Cherokee 4xe will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia Niro, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is much wider than the Kia Niro, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia Niro.

Handling
The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe has a larger turning radius than the Kia Niro, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe greatly out-muscles the Kia Niro.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe 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 Grand Cherokee 4xe and the Kia Niro. The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Kia Niro.
