Toyota vs. Kia Crossover Comparison: Performance

So, right from the start, Kia drivers will likely save more than $1,500 over those who choose the Toyota. From here, you might expect to see that the Sportage has less to bring to the roads near Jackson. However, in this crossover SUV comparison, these vehicles’ performance specs prove just the opposite:

  • The 2019 Kia Sportage is available with two compelling engines, a 2.4-liter I-4 and an upgraded 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4. The latter delivers a maximum horsepower of 240 hp and a maximum torque of 260 lb-ft.
  • The 2019 Toyota RAV4 only offers a single engine, a 2.5L 4-Cylinder outfit with 203 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. Although it puts out more horsepower than the base Kia engine, it falls far short of the standard set by the upgrade option.

However, right from the start, the Kia Sportage provides more towing power than its competitor. With a standard 2,000-pound capacity, it’s more useful for drivers who like to break from the beaten path from time to time.

In order to surpass this tow rating with the RAV4, you’ll need to upgrade with the Adventure trim, which costs around $10,000 more than the base trim of the Sportage.

Kia vs. Toyota Crossover Comparison: Warranty

Kia has a reputation for reliability that has only become stronger over the years, and today, it’s a serious rival of long-established brands like Toyota. In fact, if we go by the protection that each manufacturer offers with their vehicles, it’s clear that the Kia engineers are significantly more confident in their work.

Every Kia comes with basic warranty protection for five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. With Toyota, you’ll only receive a basic warranty that lasts for three years or 36,000 miles. So, the Sportage is priced more affordably from the start, and it’s also cheaper to own!
