Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Audi Q3 than the Kia Niro EV. 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 Audi Q3.

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 Audi Q3 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Kia Niro EV.

Dimensions
The Audi Q3 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. When looking at overall length, the Audi Q3 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Kia Niro EV.

Handling
The Audi Q3 has a significantly larger turning radius than the Kia Niro EV, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Audi Q3 has a little less horsepower than the Kia Niro EV.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Audi Q3 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 Audi Q3 and the Kia Niro EV. The Audi Q3 has significantly less cargo capacity than the Kia Niro EV.
