Comparison Review

Comfort
The Genesis G80 offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Kia K4. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Genesis G80, drivers may find the Kia K4 a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Genesis G80 as you will with the Kia K4, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

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 Genesis G80 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia K4, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Genesis G80 is much wider than the Kia K4, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Genesis G80, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia K4.

Handling
The Genesis G80 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 Genesis G80 has a much more powerful engine than the Kia K4. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Genesis G80 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 Genesis G80 and the Kia K4.
