Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Front wheel drive (FWD) | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Kia Carnival) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (Hyundai H1) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||

| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 420'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Hyundai H1 engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 16 years | 11 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Hyundai Santa FE, Kia Sorento, Hyundai Grandeur | Installed on at least 8 other car models, including Hyundai Santa FE, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sorento | |
