Comparison Review

Comfort
The Hyundai Elantra offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Kia K4 with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Kia K4, the Hyundai Elantra may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Hyundai Elantra is somewhat more expensive than the Kia K4.

Dimensions
The Hyundai Elantra is a little narrower than the Kia K4, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. When looking at overall length, the Hyundai Elantra takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Kia K4.

Handling
The Hyundai Elantra has about the same turning radius as the Kia K4, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, it's basically a tie between the Hyundai Elantra and the Kia K4.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the Hyundai Elantra and the Kia K4 do an equal job of transmitting their engine's power to their wheels.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Hyundai Elantra and the Kia K4.
