Honda CR-V vs. Kia Sportage Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs about the same to get the Kia Sportage to the dealership as the Honda CR-V. The Sportage consumes a lot of gasoline compared to the CR-V. Producing an accurate gas mileage evaluation is so tricky that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though the Honda CR-V is the winner with respect to fuel economy. The Kia Sportage is significantly less expensive than the Honda as far as MSRP.

Utility
The Kia Sportage and the Honda CR-V can accommodate the same number of passengers. The Kia is a better choice than the Honda in terms of hauling capacity, especially if you often need to carry a lot of luggage or dogs. The Kia Sportage outpulls the Honda by a sizeable margin.

Convenience
You quite certainly won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Kia Sportage than with the Honda CR-V, as both offer comparable ranges.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Honda CR-V offers a bit more head room than the Kia Sportage, there really isn't much of a difference. The Honda CR-V is not particularly more spacious for your passengers than the Kia Sportage.

Dimensions
The Honda CR-V's tank is roughly the same size as the Kia Sportage's, though the Kia Sportage's is a bit bigger. The Sportage and the Honda CR-V compete for the same parking spaces.

Handling
With their similar turning radii, the Kia Sportage and the Honda CR-V most certainly handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Honda's engine is significantly more massive than the Kia Sportage's. Remember that bigger engines may use more gasoline than smaller ones. Torque equals pickup, and the Honda will have picked up and gone by the time the Kia Sportage finally gets moving.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Honda CR-V isn't quite as generous as the Kia Sportage's.
