Kia Niro vs. Honda HR-V

Compare the Kia Niro Vs. the Honda HR-V

The Kia Niro is a highly maneuverable subcompact SUV with your choice of a standard hybrid powertrain or a more plug-in alternative. The Kia Niro is going to save you a lot on fuel regardless of which powertrain you end up selecting. It comes with a unique exterior design, a contemporary interior, and offers available convenience features.

The Honda HR-V is another subcompact SUV that's a worthy competitor and both models might be on your shopping list. Here's a comparison to show you why the Kia Niro is the one to buy at Lev Kia of Framingham in Framingham, MA.

Niro performance vs. HR-V performance

The Kia Niro operates with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder standard hybrid engine that gives Natick, MA drivers 195 pound-feet of torque, which is more than the 138 pound-feet in the Honda HR-V's 2.0-liter four-cylinder. The Kia Niro is faster, allowing Waltham, MA drivers to reach 60 mph in 8.9 seconds compared with 11.1 seconds for the Honda HR-V. In addition, the Kia Niro can hit the quarter-mile in 16.9 seconds, which beats the Honda HR-V that requires 18.6 seconds to reach the same milestone.

Niro fuel efficiency vs. HR-V fuel efficiency

Kia equips the Kia Niro with a standard 1.6-liter four-cylinder hybrid powertrain that achieves 53 MPG in a city like Marlborough, MA, and 54 MPG on the highway. That's far better fuel economy than the Honda HR-V with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that would give you only 26 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway.

When you compare all-wheel drive (AWD) models, the Niro wins again with 53 MPG in the city and 45 MPG on Newton, MA highways. That's far better than the Honda HR-V all-wheel drive (AWD), which delivers only 25 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway. One secret to the Niro's superior fuel efficiency is a regenerative braking system that converts inertia back into energy, and that's something that's not available on the Honda HR-V.
