The Kia EV3 provides a bigger boot than the OMODA 5, as well as space in the back for two six-foot adults to get comfortable with plenty of leg and head room. In the back of the OMODA 5, however, a six-foot adult will find their head brushing the roof. In both cars, the cabin is a bit narrow to seat three adults comfortably for long periods. Out on the road, neither model is as much fun to drive as its looks might suggest.
