Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Cadillac XT6 than the Kia Niro. The Kia Niro offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Cadillac XT6, 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 Cadillac XT6 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 Cadillac XT6 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia Niro, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac XT6 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 Cadillac XT6, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia Niro.

Handling
The Cadillac XT6 has a significantly larger turning radius than the Kia Niro, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Cadillac XT6 greatly out-muscles the Kia Niro.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Cadillac XT6 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia Niro.

Utility
The Cadillac XT6 offers greater seating capacity than the Kia Niro, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. The Cadillac XT6 has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Kia Niro.
