Kia K4 vs Renault Megane E-Tech

What's the difference?

Kia has launched a new small sedan - the K4 and it replaces the popular Cerato model for our market. A hatchback sibling arrives sometime later this year as a contender against the Toyota Corolla.

With a design that's sharper and far sportier-looking than the model it replaces, will it prove to be as successful?

We're in the flagship GT-Line grade to see what this new sedan has to offer and whether it's a good fit for urban dwellers who don't want another SUV.

The hotly anticipated Renault Megane E-Tech has arrived on our shores but we're only getting the mid-spec variant for now.

Renault's newest EV is related to the well-known Megane in name only because it has been built from the ground up as an EV. It’s not a hatchback, like its namesake, either, rather a crossover, which means it’s a bit lower than some of its small SUV rivals.

It faces firm competition in the likes of the Hyundai Kona Electric, Volvo C40 and newcomer bZ4X from Toyota. In this review we'll see how Renault's cutest EV handles life with my family of three.
