Gentle curves run the length of your SUV, giving it a polished sense of refinement. This is especially true if you choose a timeless color like Ebony Black or Snow White. The addition of angular LED headlights on either SUV adds an eye-catching element that’s sure to capture the attention of onlookers.

Where these SUVs differ is in their profile views. The RAV4 Hybrid is more compact, with a 105.9-inch wheelbase and the square-like wheel well that makes this model look more rugged. The Kia Sportage, on the other hand, appears more luxurious with its larger 108.5-inch wheelbase and perfectly curved arches.

After a long day at the office, we know you look forward to kicking back and relaxing. The Kia Sportage and the RAV4 Hybrid help you ease into a state of relaxation the second you take the driver’s seat. This is accomplished with available features like:

• Heated and ventilated front seats
• Driver’s memory seat
• Interior ambient lighting
• Panoramic sunroof

While these features are found in both models, only the Kia Sportage offers sound-absorbing technology. This helps block the road and wind sounds so you only hear your favorite songs while on your way home from work.

Life can get messy. When you’re ready to traverse unpaved paths, the Kia Sportage and the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid both offer the all-terrain features you need. Serious adventurers should consider the Sportage X-Pro trim as it has features to help conquer off-roading adventures, including:

• Multi-terrain drive modes
• 2,500-pound maximum towing capacity when properly equipped
• All-terrain tires
• 8.3 inches of ground clearance

Sadly, for RAV4 Hybrid drivers, you’ll miss out on all the above features. This Toyota SUV tops off at just 1,750 pounds of towing capacity and 8.1 inches of ground clearance.

Those off-roading adventures that extend multiple days are the best. That’s why the Kia Sportage and the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid offer plenty of space to pack your camping gear.

Thanks to 39.6 to 74.1 cubic feet of cargo space in the Sportage, you’ll have more than enough space for your tent, sleeping bags, camping chairs, and cooking gear. While the RAV4 Hybrid offers an impressive amount of space, its 37.6 to 69.8 cubic feet of cargo space pales in comparison to the Kia.

When the weekend comes to an end, it’s easy to load up your SUV in one trip thanks to the optional Smart Power Liftgate™. When equipped, the tailgate can open without the use of your hands. That way, you’ll never have to put items down to access the trunk.

One of the easiest ways to enhance your commute is with your favorite travel playlist. With the addition of smartphone integration, six standard speakers, and an 8-inch touchscreen display, you can access your music within seconds.

Audiophiles will love that both SUVs can be enhanced with an optional Harman Kardon® Premium Surround Sound system in the Kia or a JBL® premium system in the Toyota.

Looking to further upgrade the infotainment capabilities of your SUV? You can opt for a larger touchscreen with either model. Although the Sportage comes optionally with a cinematic 12.3-inch screen, those who drive the RAV4 Hybrid may experience eyestrain due to its smaller 10.5-inch available size.

While most of your commutes are spent alone, you still need an SUV that provides generous space for your friends. In many ways, the Kia Sportage and the RAV4 Hybrid offer nearly identical passenger dimensions. However, there are some major differences in key areas throughout the vehicle that could make or break the comfort of your friends:

As someone who spends most of your time with your chosen family, we know you want to make their comfort a priority. That’s why the Kia Sportage is the better option for all-around comfort.
