Kia has a smaller trunk, 1 in? but more rear legroom.
Up to you, sunroof vs more rear legroom.

I was basing trunk space on the YouTube channel BabyDrive.com.au where she fits max car seats in the back rows and figures out how much you can put in the trunk after a stroller. Wife is very partial to the sunroof, but she has one in the Subuaru Ascent she just bought which is the family car. Mine is more of the just in case i need to take baby and dog somewhere.
Niro is on the right.
Niro has .7ft less cargo room.
But 2.6 in more legroom and 3.9" LESS width.
Edit :
Oh yah and Kia does not have HomeLink, Hyundai does (Go figure on that one)

I would suggest to hold a bit longer and they should definitely counter with a better offer.
Also, I did test drive the Kona Limited and had an offer for $250/month $250 DAS at South Brunswick Hyundai. Though I liked the Niro looks and interiors much better even before I got to the deal price.
Also, on the next call mention a Kona EV deal around the target price you are planning to be at and hope they drop the quote from where they are at.
The irony! I was just texting with them today. This was the reasoning I got for their mark-up
"Hereās the breakdown for you. There is a 2995 addendum on the niro, sportage and fortes. Rest of the vehicles have a minimum 4995 addendum. Are you in a vehicle now that you can trade in?
I was just texting them today and I shut them down immediately after they said they were marking up MSRP and told them I was taking my business elsewhere, but they keep texting back wanting to make a deal. Hope theyāre more willing!
In my texts with them yesterday, they told me I could get $5k for an EX (since itās under 45k) then I could only get $2.5k for the EX Premium because its over 45k. I corrected them and said itās only 2k for cars over 45k, but then apparently he confirmed with his manager and it was 2.5k? They also donāt know how the MSRP threshold works. If I was able to get an EX-P without the Cold Weather Pkg, I could get the $5k because NJ doesnāt include the destination charge or accessories in the qualification, but they just didnāt know that either.
OP looks like a good deal to me. When I was shopping for Niro EVs here in NY a month ago, the lowest offer I got on a '21 Niro EV EX 36/10k was $332/month with $0 DAS. I ended up paying a bit more than that for a '21 EX-P in the end.

Did you want to go for Ex Premium? or were you initially in the market for Ex?
This rebate at PoS coupled with chip shortage has become a problem. This has been a clear trend for a while with dealers marking up MSRP on EVs. With only 65% of NJ ChargeUp funds remaining, wonder if residents will ever see the full 5K rebate with discounted MSRP pricing.

yeah i ended up signing the deal because everyone else i reached out to was basically keeping the full rebate for themselves. they either said they were only giving $5k in lease cash or claiming the $10,700 included the $5k chargeup rebate. I reached out to hyundai dealers near me but they didnāt either have limited in stock or werenāt willing to give me sub $300. All in all a good experience, the dealer drove the car up to me, i live 2 hours away from where they were. im very happy with the car. i still kept equity from my last lease and was able to get a much lower monthly payment on the newer better version of my old lease.

They had already reserved almost 30% just for the people from last year who got approved but didnāt have funding. I donāt see us running out anytime soon.

Did you see this deal?
Adaptive cruise is a must for me! Only the Ultimate Trim has the option and itās priced beyond the MSRP soft cap killing the deal

Yeah, Adaptive CC is rad! Donāt think one can go back to regular after using this.

Just FYI for the next leaser:
They called me to inform that they absolutely cannot replicate my deal (had shared my name with leasers here for the $100 referral bonus).
I had gone there initially for a 2020 Niro when Kia was running the $12,900 lease cash deal(drove 1.5 hours), which an employee had confirmed on call that they had. Turned out they did not have it and so had offered a relatively good deal on 2021.
He said, they have 1 more Ex left and a couple of premiums.
Probably got tired of referrals from LH/me starting with a lowball offer and asked me not to quote my dealā¦ lol
