Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen ID.4 than in the Nissan Kicks, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Nissan Kicks and the Volkswagen ID.4.

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). Clearly, the Nissan Kicks is a better financial choice over the Volkswagen ID.4, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Nissan Kicks is much slimmer than the Volkswagen ID.4, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Nissan Kicks, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Volkswagen ID.4.

Handling
The Nissan Kicks has a smaller turning radius than the Volkswagen ID.4, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Nissan Kicks has a lot less horsepower than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Nissan Kicks does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Nissan Kicks and the Volkswagen ID.4. The Nissan Kicks has less cargo space than the Volkswagen ID.4, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
