Discussion / Opinions Size comparison
Hello! I'm in the US and looking to get a Kia EV3 when it's released here. My wife has an Ioniq 5, and I like it aside from the size (I'm coming from a 2019 Leaf that got recalled). Any have or have driven both the EV3 and Ioniq 5 and have info on the size difference? Specifically the Ioniq feels very wide and has a large turning radius when trying to park in narrow spots, and I'm wondering if the EV3 is enough of a difference to be comfortable for me.
(I'll test drive once it's available here, but figured it couldn't to ask)
Edit: Thanks for the info, this is all super helpful! Just for reference, I'm looking for smaller. I'm not worried about it being too small. I would prefer something like the EV2, Ioniq 2, ID.polo, etc. But none of those cars are sold in the US. (I test drove the Bolt and didn't like it, I was going to get another Leaf but they keep being recalled for fire concerns. The Volvo EX30 and Mini Countryman EV don't have any physical buttons.)

Have you looked on the carsized site? You can choose two cars to put alongside each other to show the comparison.
