2022 Hyundai IONIQ VS 2022 Kia Niro

The Hyundai Ioniq and Kia Niro are already two of the most advanced vehicles on the market. Both are part of the affordable electric car revolution. This article will compare the world's first affordable electric cars, the Hyundai Ioniq, and Kia's newest interpretation of a compact vehicle, the Niro.

 

Engine

Engine

 

The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq has a 1.6L four-cylinder engine and an electric motor, which delivers 139 hp. The battery pack can be charged by plugging it into an electrical outlet or running the gasoline engine. This charges the batteries while driving. The 2022 Kia Niro comes with a 1.6L four-cylinder engine, a motor (electric), and a lithium battery pack (1.56 kWh), delivering 139 hp.

 

Infotainment

Infotainment

 

Infotainment systems are getting more and more sophisticated. Each year, new features are added to make driving more interactive, intuitive, and fun. The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq and the 2022 Kia Niro have infotainment systems that work with Apple’s CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easy to use your phone's apps on the car's display without having to pick up your phone—something that can be distracting for drivers. Both cars offer Bluetooth connectivity, but only the Ioniq offers wireless charging for any device that supports this feature.

 

Comfort

Comfort

 

Of the two vehicles, the Ioniq has the most standard features. The Ioniq has heated front seats and remote start, which isn’t available on the Niro; however, only the Ioniq comes with a heated steering wheel standard. The Ioniq also has ventilated front seats, which aren’t available on any model of the Niro.

 

Both cars come with plenty of driver assistance features. The Ioniq's available Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection helps you drive safely by warning you if it senses a potential collision and even automatically applying the brakes for you if it detects that a collision is imminent.

 

Safety Features

 

The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq and the 2022 Kia Niro are compact hybrids with roomy interiors and plenty of power. They're both great options for young families who want to go green and stay safe, but they have a few differences in safety features.

 

Both have been designed with a strong passenger compartment that’ll protect you in the event of an accident. Plus, both have front, side, and curtain airbags that’ll inflate in the event of a collision. The Niro also has knee airbags for the driver and the front passenger, optional in the Ioniq.

 

Additionally, these cars also have security systems that you can use to protect your vehicle from theft by locking all your doors at once. The Niro has a standard remote keyless entry system across all trim levels; however, in the Ioniq, this feature isn’t available on the base trim level and is optional on other trim levels.

 

Conclusion

Conclusion

 

In conclusion, both of these cars are incredibly similar in several ways. They're both powered by hybrid-electric powertrains that get their gas mileage from various sources rather than just one, improving efficiency while reducing emissions. They both offer a certain degree of connectivity technology, though with completely different levels of capability and capacity. So when it boils down to it, which is the better car? Like any good debate, it depends on what you're looking for from your vehicle.
