Let's look at numbers then, nice and empircal

Source: Edminds.com, comparing a 2024 EV6 Wind, to a 2024 VW GTI
Kia EV6/VW GTI
Cargo Space: 24.4Cu.Ft., 19.9Cu.Ft.
Front Headroom: 39in, 38.5in
Front leg room: 42.4in, 41.2in
Front shoulder Room: 57.8in, 55.9in
Rear Head Room: 38.0in, 38.1in
Rear Leg room: 39in, 35in
Rear shoulder room: 55.6in, 53.9in

In almost all metric, the Kia wins in size measurements though, and GTI only squeaks it out by 0.1" in rear headroom, in exchange you gain 4" of legroom in the Kia
If you aren't looking at the top spec GT, they are closer in price than you may think otherwise.

I will agree even at 45k for the EV6 Wind, Kia is still pricey but today's Kias aren't the same as the ones from the past either.
