Comparison Review

Comfort
The INFINITI QX55 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 INFINITI QX55.

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 INFINITI QX55 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia Niro EV, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the INFINITI QX55 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 INFINITI QX55, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia Niro EV.

Handling
The INFINITI QX55 has a larger turning radius than the Kia Niro EV, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the INFINITI QX55 greatly out-muscles the Kia Niro EV.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the INFINITI QX55 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 INFINITI QX55 and the Kia Niro EV. The INFINITI QX55 has less cargo space than the Kia Niro EV, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
