Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia K4 than the Kia K5. The Kia K5 will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Kia K4.

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). Based on MSRP, the Kia K4 is clearly a better financial choice over the Kia K5.

Dimensions
The Kia K4 is about the same width as the Kia K5. The Kia K4 is slightly shorter than the Kia K5, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Kia K4 has a smaller turning radius than the Kia K5, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Kia K4 is significantly less powerful than the Kia K5. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.

Powertrain
The Kia K4 has much less torque than the Kia K5, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Kia K4 and the Kia K5.
