The Kia PV5 Passenger is longer than the Kia EV3 and can have a third row of seats, which the EV3 cannot. By contrast, the Kia EV3 is more powerful, is more efficient, and goes further on a charge. Once you are cruising on the motorway, the EV3 has wind noise that is not obtrusive, whereas the PV5 Passenger has quite a lot of wind noise. When you steer onto a twisty road, neither car is much fun to drive.
