Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Niro than in the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. The Kia Niro offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

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 RAV4 Hybrid, 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). When looking only at MSRP, the Kia Niro will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid.

Dimensions
The Kia Niro is a little narrower than the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. The Kia Niro is slightly shorter than the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Kia Niro has the same turning radius as the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Kia Niro has a lot less horsepower than the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid.

Powertrain
The Kia Niro has much lower torque than the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, 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 RAV4 Hybrid. The Kia Niro has less cargo space than the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
