Compare the Kia EV3 vs Renault 4 E-Tech
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you are weighing up practicality and range, the Kia EV3 holds several clear advantages over the Renault 4 E-Tech. The Kia is more powerful, goes further on a charge, and has a bigger boot. In the back, the EV3 gives two six-foot adults plenty of leg and head room to get comfy, whereas adults will probably start feeling cramped on long journeys in the Renault. Trying to sit three adults across the rear will prove tough in either car, as the Kia is a little narrow to squeeze three in for long periods and the Renault is a terrible squeeze. On a twisty road, neither car feels especially fun; both provide good grip and steering that is responsive enough or easy to judge, but the front-wheel-drive Kia is set up for comfort rather than cornering, while the Renault never feels particularly fun.
