AI generated from our expert reviews

Although the Toyota C-HR+ is longer than the Kia EV3, both cars are comfortable to drive, even if neither is exciting. In town, the EV3 features an i-Pedal mode that takes you to a full stop just by lifting off the accelerator, whereas the C-HR+ has no one-pedal driving mode. Squeezing three adults across the rear is tight in both cars, with the EV3 feeling a little narrow for long periods and sitting three-abreast proving a squeeze in the C-HR+. For those in the back, the C-HR+ has adjustable backrests that recline, whereas the rear seats in the EV3 do not recline. Up front, you get a large glovebox in the EV3, but you will notice a lack of a glovebox in the C-HR+.
