Similar Comparisons

Kia EV3
VW ID.3
VS
Pitted against each other, the Kia EV3 feels like the roomy, no-nonsense upstart — taller, more practical and geared toward families who want SUV style without the fuel bill — while the VW ID.3 is the sharper, more polished hatch that rewards drivers who prefer nimble handling and mature software. If you want more cargo and street presence, pick the EV3; if you care about a composed drive and a proven EV ecosystem, the ID.3 is the safer, smarter bet — so decide whether you want to haul bikes or out-engineer your commute.
Kia EV3
BYD Atto 2
VS
The Kia EV3 feels like a grown-up, sporty compact EV with sharper handling, nicer interior materials and cleaner infotainment, while the BYD Atto 2 trades that polish for a quirky cabin, longer range and an irresistible price tag. If you want everyday driving refinement and a bit of fun, pick the EV3 — but for range, practicality and pure bang-for-buck, the Atto 2 is the smarter, wallet-friendly choice.
Mazda CX-30
Skoda Kamiq
VS
The Mazda CX-30 is the stylish, driver's compact SUV that blends near-premium looks and crisp handling, while the Škoda Kamiq plays the sensible card with clever packaging, a roomier boot and lower running costs. Pick the CX-30 if you want a more emotional, fun-to-drive compact with a nicer interior; choose the Kamiq for everyday practicality, brilliant space use and better value for families and commuters.
Skoda Kamiq
VW Taigo
VS
In the compact crossover ring the Skoda Kamiq plays the sensible everyman—generous boot, clever storage and frugal engines—while the VW Taigo strikes a pose with coupe‑like styling and a slightly livelier, more characterful drive. If you need practical space and everyday value, pick the Kamiq; if headline-grabbing looks and a bit more personality matter, the Taigo is your fun, slightly flashier choice.
Kia EV3
Renault R4
VS
Think of the Kia EV3 as the sharp, efficient newcomer — punchy range, clean interior and contemporary tech that suits commuters wanting sensible electric daily transport — while the Renault 4 is a lovable throwback: quirky styling, simple practicality and urban charm that puts a smile on every trip. Pick the EV3 for modern range and everyday usability; choose the Renault 4 if you crave personality and easy city practicality — either way, you’re choosing character over anonymity.
SEAT Arona
Skoda Kamiq
VS
Between the sporty, streetwise SEAT Arona and the sensible Škoda Kamiq, the Arona wins hearts with sharper styling and a livelier chassis that makes every corner a little more fun. The Kamiq, however, is the adult in the room — smarter storage, a bigger boot and a calmer cabin, the pragmatic choice if you’d rather cart kids and shopping than chase Instagram likes.
Kia EV3
Kia EV4 Sedan
VS
The Kia EV3 and Kia EV4 Sedan are carving out their own niches in the burgeoning EV market. While the EV3 offers an agile and compact design ideal for city driving, the EV4 Sedan impresses with its sleek aesthetics and slightly more spacious interior. Both models boast impressive range and cutting-edge technology, yet the choice between them might ultimately come down to personal preference in terms of size and style.
Skoda Kamiq
VW T-Roc
VS
In the battle of compact SUVs, the Skoda Kamiq holds its ground against the VW T-Roc by offering excellent value for money without sacrificing essential features. While the T-Roc boasts a more premium interior and sportier styling, the Kamiq impresses with its practicality and spacious cabin, making it a favorite among families. Ultimately, choosing between these two contenders will hinge on whether drivers prioritize style or functionality in their everyday rides.
