Comparison Review

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 Taos, when considering MSRP.

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 Taos.
