If you’re on a modest budget but don’t want to give up comfort or convenience, you’ll appreciate Kia’s approach to the compact SUV segment. And, while its V6 engine produces little more power than Honda’s in-line four, you’ll appreciate the V6’s smoothness with every tip of the accelerator.
If you’re an individual who cherishes an established nameplate, Kia (despite dramatic sales growth) lacks the long history of some other brands. And though Kia has definitely made strides versus segment leaders from Toyota and Honda, the Sportage might be a shade down from them in product refinement.
