The new Kia Sportage is a highly regarded vehicle in its class. Its reputation for providing a safe, quality ride at an affordable price has made it a class fixture for decades. Beyond just features and value, however, this Kia has a unique and charming personality that drivers aren't likely to experience with class rivals like the Honda CR-V, against which the Sportage is compared today. Let's see how these two compact SUVs measure up against one another:
2022 Kia Sportage | VS | 2022 Honda CR-V |
---|---|---|
$24,090 | Starting MSRP* | $26,400 |
240 hp | Max Available Performance | 190 hp |
2,000 lbs | Max Tow Rating | 1,500 lbs |
Standard | 10-Year / 100K-Mile Powertrain Warranty | Not Available |
Automatic | Transmission | CVT |
Small crossovers and SUVs are the ideal vehicles for many drivers and families. We don't say that lightly here at Stokes Hodges Kia, but if you think about what most drivers are looking for in their daily mode of transportation, it makes perfect sense. Drivers want safety, comfort, convenience and interior space for passengers and cargo, plus enough power to be able to pass confidently -- all balanced by the efficiency that doesn't require semi-weekly trips to your local fuel station. That may sound like you are asking for a lot, but with the new Sportage, you get all that and more!
Two new vehicle models that deliver a healthy combination of virtues in a neatly-packaged design with a comfortable interior are the compact crossover SUVs from Kia and Hyundai. Both the 2022 Kia Sportage and 2022 Hyundai Tucson are built from the ground up, with the driver's and passenger's comfort and convenience as a central focus. But, which is better for you and your wants and preferences? Let's compare them to see!
Both the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson bring their strengths to the table. Kia designed the Sportage to give individuals, couples, and families a dynamic and fun vehicle they can enjoy driving around town or on the highway. The Tucson seems better suited as a reliable rental option with some omitted features that could wind up being missed by drivers down the road.
2022 Kia Sportage | VS | 2022 Hyundai Tucson |
---|---|---|
$24,090 | Starting MSRP* | $25,500 |
23 City / 30 Highway | EPA-Estimated MPG** | 26 City / 33 Highway |
181 @ 6000 RPM | Horsepower | 187 @ 6100 RPM |
175 @ 4000 RPM | Torque | 178 @ 4000 RPM |
240 hp | Max Available Performance | 187 hp |
Available | Dynamax™ All-Wheel Drive | Not Available |
Active safety systems are features offered on both of these small crossovers. The 2022 Kia Sportage has Blind Spot Detection, Lane Keep Assist and other potentially lifesaving features available from the base model and up. Hyundai reserves the availability of similar features for the Tucson's upper trim levels.
The powertrain is another point of divergence and a notable one. The 2022 Sportage's 181-horsepower allows for more confident passing and enjoyable acceleration. The available 240-hp turbocharged engine adds thrill to a practical and reliable Kia model. The Tucson's highest-available 181 horsepower can barely compete with the Sportage's base model, proving that the Sportage is the more spirited and fun vehicle to drive.
The 2022 Kia Sportage is undoubtedly a high performer, but it faces competition from many compact crossover SUVs, including the Nissan Rogue. The sleek Sportage offers several key advantages over the Nissan, though, as you will see in the spec comparisons below:
2022 Kia Sportage | VS | 2022 Nissan Rogue |
---|---|---|
$24,090 | Starting MSRP* | $26,850 |
16.4 Gallons | Fuel Tank | 14.5 Gallons |
Automatic | Transmission | CVT |
181 @ 6000 | Horsepower | 201 @ 5,600 |
Standard | Apple CarPlay & Android Auto | Standard |
The Kia Sportage is a dazzling example of what next-level design and performance can be for the small SUV class. While the Toyota RAV4 compact SUV has a well-known name, it falls short in the power, performance and pricing categories, as well as its available technology, as we will see in the below comparison of these two crossovers.
The Kia Sportage is a crossover with an impressive peak horsepower of 240 in its top trim level, which has the turning radius of a compact vehicle but with more than 60 cubic feet for cargo. The RAV4 boasts just 203 horsepower in all of its trim levels, which is lacking in comparison, and also tows a maximum of 1,500 pounds; the Sportage performs 33 percent more grunt work with the ability to tow 2,000 pounds!
