Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the Kia K4 than in the Subaru Legacy, due to the Kia K4's smaller rear head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Kia K4, drivers may find the Subaru Legacy 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). Based on MSRP, the Kia K4 is clearly a better financial choice over the Subaru Legacy.

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

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

Performance
The Kia K4 has less horsepower than the Subaru Legacy, so it will probably be somewhat slower.

Powertrain
The Kia K4 has much less torque than the Subaru Legacy, 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 Subaru Legacy.
