Comparison Review

Comfort
The Audi Q6 e-tron offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat 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 Q6 e-tron.

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 Audi Q6 e-tron will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia Niro EV, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Audi Q6 e-tron 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 Audi Q6 e-tron, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia Niro EV.

Handling
The Audi Q6 e-tron 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
When considering towing capacity, the Audi Q6 e-tron is clearly the choice over the Kia Niro EV for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Audi Q6 e-tron greatly out-muscles 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 Q6 e-tron and the Kia Niro EV. The Audi Q6 e-tron has less cargo space than the Kia Niro EV, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
