Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Niro EV than in the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Kia Niro EV will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Alfa Romeo Stelvio.

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 Alfa Romeo Stelvio will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia Niro EV, which has a much lower MSRP.

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

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

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