Comfort
The Kia Niro offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Kia Sportage, with comparable head- and legroom.
The Kia Niro will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Kia Sportage.
Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Kia Niro, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Kia Sportage.
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). When looking only at MSRP, the Kia Niro will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Kia Sportage.
Dimensions
Since the Kia Niro is much slimmer than the Kia Sportage, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot.
The Kia Niro is slightly shorter than the Kia Sportage, which may make it easier to park.
Handling
The Kia Niro has the same turning radius as the Kia Sportage, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Kia Niro has a lot less horsepower than the Kia Sportage.
Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Kia Niro transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Kia Sportage.
Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Kia Niro and the Kia Sportage.
The Kia Niro has less cargo space than the Kia Sportage, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
