Let's compare the Niro EV and the Bolt EUV, and I'll show you the four ways in which the former excels.

[{"selector":"#anim-ba0af043-9b2f-45dc-afb5-ada058d624ac [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.598081571506192%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cb5a6f2f-a2f6-4e3e-be79-c9a97d9aaf79","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.32027%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cc72a3b3-7f3b-4d6f-b538-77f6e374fb1b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3dc22174-d90a-4803-8ebf-7981fafe5574","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The Niro EV's cabin is roomier than that of the Bolt EUV, making for a more relaxing trip for its occupants.

Battery and powertrain coverage on the Niro EV from Kia is double that of the Bolt EUV from Chevrolet (8 years/100,000 miles vs. 10 years/60,000 miles).

The Niro EV is rumoured to include a more sophisticated infotainment system than the Bolt EUV, with larger touchscreens and more capabilities.

The Bolt EUV is more boxy and utilitarian looking, while the Niro EV sports a more classic SUV style.

Aesthetically, the Niro EV is a step up from its competitors, making it more desirable to buyers looking for a new electric car.
