Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia K4 than the Toyota Corolla. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Toyota Corolla, the Kia K4 may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Kia K4 as you will with the Toyota Corolla, 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). When looking only at MSRP, the Kia K4 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Toyota Corolla.

Dimensions
Since the Kia K4 is much wider than the Toyota Corolla, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Kia K4 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Toyota Corolla.

Handling
The Kia K4 has about the same turning radius as the Toyota Corolla, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

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

Powertrain
With its lower torque, the Kia K4 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Toyota Corolla.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Kia K4 and the Toyota Corolla.
