Comparison Review

Comfort
The Genesis GV70 offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Kia Niro EV. The Kia Niro EV offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Genesis GV70, 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). The Genesis GV70 is somewhat more expensive than the Kia Niro EV.

Dimensions
Since the Genesis GV70 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 Genesis GV70, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia Niro EV.

Handling
The Genesis GV70 has a larger turning radius than the Kia Niro EV, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Genesis GV70 is clearly the choice over the Kia Niro EV for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Genesis GV70 greatly out-muscles the Kia Niro EV.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Genesis GV70 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 Genesis GV70 and the Kia Niro EV. The Genesis GV70 has less cargo space than the Kia Niro EV, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
