The Kia Sportage Vs. Competitor SUVs in Amherst, NY
Have you had enough of your lousy performing car, crossover or SUV and ready to upgrade your driving style and the practicality of every commute? Not only is the new Kia Sportage a fantastic new vehicle choice, but our lineup of new Kia SUVs near Buffalo cater to all your family travel needs, and there are plenty of trims and packages to pick from! But how does the Kia Sportage stack up against competitor vehicles like the Ford Escape, Nissan Rogue and Chevy Equinox?
See below what the Kia Sportage brings to the roads and highways of West Seneca, and learn more about this one-of-a-kind compact SUV and how you can drive home in a long-lasting, reliable model that fits your driving style!
Kia Sportage Vs. Ford Escape
Though both engine options for these compact SUVs are similar in horsepower and fuel efficiency, the Ford Escape at a standard trim option offers more horsepower and slightly better fuel efficiency with its 181-horsepower 2.4-lIter engine compared to the 168-horsepower 2.5-Liter I4 in the Ford Escape.
The Sportage also offers plenty of passenger space with up to 129.3 cubic feet of interior volume compared to the 98.7 cubic feet of the Escape. The Kia Sportage is also more affordable and includes a better warranty than what Ford offers drivers.
Kia Sportage Vs. Nissan Rogue
The Kia Sportage offers just a tad more horsepower than the Nissan Rogue's standard 170-horsepower 2.5-Liter four cylinder engine and if you're prepared to tow the family fishing boat or small camper to lakes or campgrounds near Cheektowaga, the Kia Sportage is capable of pulling trailered loads of up to 2,000-lbs when properly equipped. The Nissan Rogue can only pull up to 1,102-lbs of trailered weight.
The Kia Sportage is also shorter in length compared to the Rogue, making compact parking spots in the city easier to fit into, and if you're after a solid long-term new car warranty, Kia outdoes Nissan's warranty which provides you peace of mind when up against the New York weather conditions and driving terrain.

Kia Sportage Vs. Chevy Equinox
If you're interested in a practical and capable compact SUV in Williamsville, the Kia Sportage comes out on top when compared to the Chevy Equinox. With more rear headroom and front legroom, and more standard power and towing capability, it's obvious that the Kia Sportage is a better buy, especially with a lower starting price tag of the Chevy Equinox.
The design of the Chevy Equinox is utilitarian and may seem bland inside and out within the lower-priced trims. The Kia Sportage offers a sleeker body style and redefined interior features simple-to-use technology, and the available panoramic sunroof. The Kia Sportage also benefits drivers again with a better warranty than Chevy, and drivers will drive home in style when behind the steering wheel of a new compact Kia SUV.
