Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Niro than in the Toyota Venza. 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 Toyota Venza.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Kia Niro as you will with the Toyota Venza, 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). Clearly, the Kia Niro is a better financial choice over the Toyota Venza, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Kia Niro is a little narrower than the Toyota Venza, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. If you go with the Kia Niro, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Toyota Venza.

Handling
The Kia Niro has a smaller turning radius than the Toyota Venza, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Kia Niro has a lot less horsepower than the Toyota Venza.

Powertrain
The Kia Niro has much lower torque than the Toyota Venza, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Kia Niro and the Toyota Venza. The Kia Niro has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Toyota Venza.
