Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen ID.4 than in the Hyundai Kona EV, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Volkswagen ID.4 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Hyundai Kona EV, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

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 Hyundai Kona EV is a better financial choice over the Volkswagen ID.4, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai Kona EV 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 Hyundai Kona EV, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Volkswagen ID.4.

Handling
The Hyundai Kona EV has a significantly larger turning radius than the Volkswagen ID.4, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Hyundai Kona EV and the Volkswagen ID.4.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Hyundai Kona EV transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively 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 Hyundai Kona EV and the Volkswagen ID.4. The Hyundai Kona EV has significantly less cargo capacity than the Volkswagen ID.4.
