Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the Kia K4 than in the Lexus ES 300h, due to the Kia K4's smaller rear head- and legroom.
Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Lexus ES 300h, the Kia K4 may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.
Convenience
With the Lexus ES 300h you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Kia K4, due to its tank size and fuel economy.
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 Lexus ES 300h.
Dimensions
The Kia K4 is about the same width as the Lexus ES 300h.
If you go with the Kia K4, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Lexus ES 300h.
Handling
The Kia K4 has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Lexus ES 300h, allowing much better maneuverability in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Kia K4 is significantly less powerful than the Lexus ES 300h. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.
Powertrain
With its lower torque, the Kia K4 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Lexus ES 300h.
Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Kia K4 and the Lexus ES 300h.
