Kia EV6 or Toyota bZ4X for a taxi?

Hi,

I’m a taxi driver and wish to avail of the EV grant and can’t make up my mind whether to go for Kia EV6 or a Toyota bZ4X. Any thoughts on which is best around town etc?

Thank you

Hi Jack,

The EV6 has a longer range on a charge of its battery and is more efficient, though that’s probably not a major issue for you as you’ll likely charge up at home every night and - I assume - have plenty of range in either car to keep you going for a shift. I prefer the quality of the Toyota’s cabin and its smoothness on the road, two things it betters the Kia on. There’s not much difference between them in terms of interior space, but the Kia has a larger boot, which may be relevant to your needs.

I highly recommend you go and test drive both cars for yourself, so you get a feel for which you prefer. Do let us know which you go for and why.
