AI generated from our expert reviews

The Kia PV5 Passenger is longer than the Renault 4 E-Tech and can have a third row of seats, which the Renault cannot. In the five-seater Kia, the rear row is truly palatial, whereas adults in the back of the Renault will probably start feeling cramped on long journeys. The Renault is more efficient than the Kia, and at motorway speeds wind and road noise never becomes a problem, whereas the Kia has quite a lot of wind noise. On twisty roads, neither car delivers excitement: the Kia is not much fun to drive, and the Renault never feels particularly fun.
