Compare the Kia PV5 Passenger vs Renault 5 E-Tech
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Kia PV5 Passenger is longer, can tow more and can be had with a third row of seats, whereas the Renault 5 E-Tech is more efficient. In the back, the Kia provides a truly palatial rear row, while the Renault leaves rear passengers uncomfortable with very little legroom and foot space. Out on twisty roads, the Renault feels eager to turn into a corner with no body roll, giving you confidence to have fun in the bends, whereas the Kia is not much fun to drive with steering that is too light and remote-feeling. Adjusting the climate control is handled via a bank of physical controls in the Renault, while the Kia requires you to use the touchscreen. Out on the motorway, both cars generate wind noise, though the Renault has a touch of it at high speeds while the Kia suffers quite a lot.
