Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Niro than in the Honda Prologue, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Kia Niro will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Honda Prologue.

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

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

Handling
The Honda Prologue 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 Honda Prologue greatly out-muscles the Kia Niro.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Honda Prologue transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Kia Niro.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Honda Prologue and the Kia Niro. The Honda Prologue has less cargo space than the Kia Niro, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
