Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the Honda Civic than in the Kia K4, due to the Honda Civic's smaller rear head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Honda Civic, drivers may find the Kia K4 a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

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 Honda Civic is somewhat more expensive than the Kia K4.

Dimensions
Since the Honda Civic is much slimmer than the Kia K4, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Honda Civic takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Kia K4.

Handling
The Honda Civic has a larger turning radius than the Kia K4, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Honda Civic is somewhat more powerful than the Kia K4.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Honda Civic does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Kia K4.

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