Both the Kia Sportage and the Nissan Qashqai are sensible, practical family SUVs that make great all-rounders, though neither will thrill you on a twisty country lane. The Kia Sportage stands out with its striking design, generous boot space and exceptionally long warranty, while the Nissan Qashqai counters with its comfortable ride quality, user-friendly physical buttons and composed motorway manners. Choosing between them comes down to whether you prioritise maximum cargo room and bold styling or a smoother, more forgiving ride over town potholes.
