Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Jeep Renegade than the Kia Niro. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Jeep Renegade and the Kia Niro.

Convenience
With the Kia Niro, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Jeep Renegade, 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). The Jeep Renegade is somewhat more expensive than the Kia Niro.

Dimensions
Since the Jeep Renegade is much wider than the Kia Niro, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. The Jeep Renegade is slightly shorter than the Kia Niro, which may make it easier to park.

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

Performance
The Jeep Renegade has a little more horsepower than the Kia Niro.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Jeep Renegade 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 Jeep Renegade and the Kia Niro. The Jeep Renegade has less cargo space than the Kia Niro, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
