Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Niro EV than in the Subaru Solterra. The Kia Niro EV offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Subaru Solterra, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

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 EV is a better financial choice over the Subaru Solterra, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Kia Niro EV is a little narrower than the Subaru Solterra, 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 EV, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Subaru Solterra.

Handling

Performance
The Kia Niro EV has a little less horsepower than the Subaru Solterra.

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

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