Comfort
The Kia Niro offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Kia Seltos, with comparable head- and legroom.
The Kia Niro will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Kia Seltos.
Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Kia Niro, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Kia Seltos.

The Kia Niro is about the same width as the Kia Seltos.
When looking at overall length, the Kia Niro takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Kia Seltos.
Handling
The Kia Niro has the same turning radius as the Kia Seltos, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Kia Niro does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia Seltos.
Utility
