So, you’ve got a road trip to Frog Island Park coming up. After planning your route and filling up the Hyundai’s and the Kia’s 11.9-gallon fuel tanks, you’re ready to hit the road. With a combined 139-horsepower 1.6L engine on either model, you’ll be able to add pep to your early-morning commute!
However, how long will it take until you need to visit the nearest gas station? Thanks to the Hyundai’s EPA-estimated 58 city/60 highway MPG rating, you’ll be able to pass many exits and keep on driving.* However, the Kia Niro’s EPA-estimated 53 city/48 highway MPG rating may have you exiting the highway more frequently than if you’re driving the Hyundai.
Although the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid is a hatchback and the Kia Niro is a compact SUV, these models are very similar in size. In fact, they’re both built with 106.3-inch wheelbases, which allow these vehicles to make agile turns.
However, with their body style difference, you’ll find the Hyundai is slightly shorter than the Kia:
- Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Height: 56.9 inches
- Kia Niro Height: 60.8 inches
The shorter build on the Ioniq Hybrid allows it to be more aerodynamic and allows it to experience less drag. Meanwhile, the taller frame on the Niro may experience more wind resistance.
The hatchback style of the Hyundai opens up more trunk space as well: 26.5 cubic feet, in fact! On the other hand, the Kia can only store 19.4 cubic feet of gear. So, if you need more room for luggage, the Ioniq Hybrid is the way to go.
You want to prioritize safety when it comes to what you drive. When comparing the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid and the Kia Niro, it’s hard to miss their standout safety suites.
Both models make your safety a top priority by offering the following features:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Driver Attention Warning
- High Beam Assist
- Available Highway Driving Assist
What sets them apart, though, is the aforementioned features come standard on the Hyundai and are only available on the Kia with trim level upgrades.
While both models can be equipped with optional Parking Distance Warning - Reverse, the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid takes this feature up another level by offering Parking Distance Warning - Forward—a feature not available at all with the Niro.
The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid and the 2022 Kia Niro are very similar models. Either one will help you easily transition to a more fuel-efficient lifestyle in Farmington, Ann Arbor, or Southfield, MI. However, thanks to its better fuel economy, aerodynamic build, and standard safety features, we believe the Hyundai is the better companion.
