Hi Margaret,

Both are fantastic cars, but the EV2 definitely has a higher 'hip point', meaning you sit higher up and it's easier to get in and out of it. The Kia is also a fraction more comfortable on the road.

But... if you like the Renault 5, you should really check out the Renault 4 EV as well, as you sit up higher in that and it shares a lot with the 5.

Either way, make sure you go and test drive both cars to get a feel for them - and we'd massively appreciate a (private) message via the Contact Us page to let us know which one you go for.
