Comparison Review

Comfort
The Hyundai Tucson Hybrid offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Kia Niro, with comparable 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 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid 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 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is somewhat more expensive than the Kia Niro.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is much wider than the Kia Niro, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, which is slightly longer than the Kia Niro.

Handling
The Hyundai Tucson Hybrid 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 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid greatly out-muscles the Kia Niro.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid 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 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and the Kia Niro. With the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Kia Niro.
