Kia Sportage vs the Competition

 

Explore What Makes the Kia Sportage a Standout Option Over Similar SUVs

With SUVs and crossovers more popular than ever here in the greater Denver area, Grand Kia in Thornton knows you have a lot of options to weigh and models to consider when choosing the perfect fit for your needs. But we also know that with its unique style and fun personality, you'd be hard-pressed to find a compact SUV model as versatile and easy to own as our Kia Sportage.

Like other popular small SUVs, the Sportage is a five-passenger model with two rows and four doors. It gets power from either a 181-horsepower four-cylinder engine or a turbo four-cylinder with 240 horsepower, and it offers an impeccable ride and all the features that Lakewood and Westminster drivers are looking for.

If you're considering the Sportage, and alternatives from other brands are competing for your attention, we can help. Read on to learn more about our research and just some of the ways that our SUV comes out ahead of the competition.

The Kia Sportage vs. the Toyota RAV4

  • Warranty. Kia protects each vehicle with one of the best warranty programs in the industry, and you won't get anything like it on the Toyota RAV4. For example, Kia backs the Sportage for 10 years or 100,000 miles, and offers emergency roadside assistance for 5 years or 60,000 miles. But the RAV4 warranty has just 5 years or 60,000 miles of coverage and roadside assistance for only 2 years.
  • Legroom. Front seat or back, you and your passengers will be more comfortable in the Kia Sportage than the Toyota. While both SUVs have similar exterior measurements, the Kia maximizes its dimensions better on the inside, offering more legroom in both rows than the Toyota.
  • More of what you want. With the Sportage, not only will you receive a versatile SUV with better warranty coverage and more interior space than the Toyota RAV4, it will also cost you less than the Toyota. Looking strictly at the entry-level models, the Kia Sportage starts around $24,000, while the Toyota starts around $26,000. Move up in trims and the trend continues, with the Kia Sportage delivering more of what Arvada drivers want across the board.

The Kia Sportage vs. the Honda CR-V

  • Power and options. Kia understands that drivers like options, which is why the Sportage has two impressive powertrains for you to choose from. The Honda CR-V, on the other hand, has just one engine option and it doesn't compete with the level of power and output that the Sportage offers.
  • Warranty. As with the Toyota comparison before this, the CR-V also doesn't generate a warranty program as lengthy or comprehensive as the Kia Sportage. Honda guarantees their CR-V for just 5 years or 60,000 miles and has roadside assistance for 3 years or 36,000 miles. But Kia, of course, gives the Sportage a 10-year or 100,000-mile warranty and roadside assistance for 5 years or 60,000 miles.
  • Standard features. Looking to get the most bang for your buck? Not only does the base model Kia Sportage average around $1,000 less than the base model Honda, it also gives you more features standard than the CR-V entry-level model. You can look forward to a long list of sought-after features with the Sportage that includes smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while this amenity, and others, are only available on upper-level CR-V trims.
