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 Volvo S60. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volvo S60, the Kia K4 may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
The Volvo S60 requires fewer visits to the gas station than the Kia K4, making it more convenient to drive.

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 Volvo S60.

Dimensions
Since the Kia K4 is much slimmer than the Volvo S60, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Kia K4 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Volvo S60.

Handling
The Kia K4 has a smaller turning radius than the Volvo S60, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Kia K4 is significantly less powerful than the Volvo S60. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.

Powertrain
The Kia K4 has much less torque than the Volvo S60, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Kia K4 and the Volvo S60.
