Kia Niro EV vs Hyundai Kona EV

Kia Niro EV


They say that lightning never strikes in the same place twice. With an electric set of wheels like the Kia Niro EV or Hyundai Kona EV, though, it sure feels like it could. When you have the power of lightning in your electric machine, you can strike a pose as many times as you want.

Drivers of Avon, Indianapolis, and Plainfield, IN, may be wondering which model is the best choice for their commutes around town. That’s why our team at Andy Mohr Kia put together this 2022 Kia Niro EV vs. Hyundai Kona EV comparison. Keep reading to find out which electric commuter will burn bright into your future. 


Dynamic Performance

When you’re looking for your next roadster, you don’t just want another ride around town. To best ensure you’re getting the power and performance you crave, let’s take a look at some of the engine specs.

You’ll see that the Kia Niro EV and Hyundai Kona EV come with similar motors:

However, the Kia does have a few features that you won’t find on the Hyundai, such as the battery heating system. During cold weather, this system will pre-warm the battery while the vehicle is connected to the charger. This will help maximize battery performance and driving range.
Interior Dimensions and Amenities

Ready to journey around town? With the Kia Niro EV, you’ll find yourself nice and cozy with heated front seats, available ventilated front seats, and a 10-way adjustable driver’s seat. While the Hyundai Kona EV has similar features, the heated front seats aren’t standard, and the driver’s seat has less maneuverability with just up to eight ways to adjust it.

In addition, you and your passengers will have more room to stretch out in the Niro EV:
