Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Niro than in the Chevrolet Blazer EV, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Chevrolet Blazer EV will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Kia Niro.

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

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Blazer EV is much wider than the Kia Niro, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Chevrolet Blazer EV, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia Niro.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Blazer EV greatly out-muscles the Kia Niro.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Chevrolet Blazer EV transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Kia Niro.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Chevrolet Blazer EV and the Kia Niro. The Chevrolet Blazer EV has less cargo space than the Kia Niro, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
