2021 Kia Niro EV vs. Chevy Bolt EV


Overview

If you're in the market for an electric vehicle, you know that there are more options than ever before, which can make the shopping process feel a little overwhelming. Perhaps you're considering the 2021 Kia Niro EV or the 2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV, and you're unsure about which EV is right for you. Let's take a closer look at both vehicles. You'll see that the Niro EV is the better choice.


Electric Motor and Transmission

While the Niro EV and Bolt EV are each powered by an electric motor, the Niro EV's motor puts out 201 horsepower and 291 pound-feet of torque. The Bolt EV's motor only generates 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. With its more powerful motor and Kia's exclusive Direct Drive transmission system, the Niro EV delivers a livelier ride and smoother acceleration than the Bolt EV. You'll find that the Niro EV handles effortlessly, whether you're zipping around busy city streets or cruising down the highway.




Exterior

When you look at the Niro EV and the Bolt EV, you'll notice that they both have distinctive exterior designs. Which design you like best depends on your personal preferences. As you decide between the two vehicles, keep in mind that the Niro EV features fog lights, which you won't find on the Bolt EV. While the Niro EV and Bolt EV both come with 17-inch wheels, the Niro EV's wheels are dazzling silver and feature unique painted accents.




Interior

With its premium cloth and leatherette seating surfaces and high-quality accents, the Niro EV's cabin is warm and inviting. The Bolt EV cloth upholstery and cheap plastic components don't create quite the same atmosphere. You and your passengers are sure to find the Niro EV's plush seating much more comfortable than the Bolt EV's.




Technology

The Niro EV's innovative technology makes it much more driver friendly. When you integrate your smartphone with Kia's exclusive UVO Link system, you can use it to find your Niro EV in a busy parking lot, start the motor remotely, and remotely adjust the temperature settings. Imagine getting into your vehicle on a blazing hot day, and the cabin is already nice and cool. Unfortunately, you can't do that with the Bolt EV.
