Comfort
The Audi SQ5 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Kia Niro EV, with comparable 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 Audi SQ5.
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 SQ5 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 SQ5 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 SQ5, 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 SQ5 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 SQ5 is clearly the choice over the Kia Niro EV for pulling heavy loads.
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi SQ5 greatly out-muscles the Kia Niro EV.
Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Audi SQ5 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 SQ5 and the Kia Niro EV.
The Audi SQ5 has less cargo space than the Kia Niro EV, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
