Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Niro than in the Hyundai Kona, due to its greater head- and legroom.
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Hyundai Kona and the Kia Niro.
Convenience
With the Kia Niro, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Hyundai Kona, due to its tank size and fuel economy.
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 Hyundai Kona will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Kia Niro.
Dimensions
The Hyundai Kona is about the same width as the Kia Niro.
The Hyundai Kona is slightly shorter than the Kia Niro, which may make it easier to park.
Handling
The Hyundai Kona has the same turning radius as the Kia Niro, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.
Performance
The Hyundai Kona has a little more horsepower than the Kia Niro.
Powertrain
The Hyundai Kona has much lower torque than the Kia Niro, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Hyundai Kona and the Kia Niro.
The Hyundai Kona has less cargo space than the Kia Niro, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
