Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Cherokee than in the Kia Niro EV. The Kia Niro EV offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Jeep Cherokee, 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). When looking only at MSRP, the Jeep Cherokee will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Kia Niro EV.

Dimensions
The Jeep Cherokee is a little wider than the Kia Niro EV, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Jeep Cherokee, which is slightly longer than the Kia Niro EV.

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

Performance
With the Jeep Cherokee, you'll be able to pull heavier loads than the Kia Niro EV. The Jeep Cherokee has a little less horsepower than the Kia Niro EV.

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