Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Blazer than in the Kia Niro EV. The Kia Niro EV offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Chevrolet Blazer, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

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). Whether you pick the Chevrolet Blazer or the Kia Niro EV, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Blazer is much wider than the Kia Niro EV, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Chevrolet Blazer, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia Niro EV.

Handling
The Chevrolet Blazer has a larger turning radius than the Kia Niro EV, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Chevrolet Blazer has a little more horsepower than the Kia Niro EV.

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

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Chevrolet Blazer and the Kia Niro EV. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Chevrolet Blazer as you will in the Kia Niro EV.
