Both the BYD Atto 2 and the Kia Sportage are easy to drive around town, though their cabins are both a bit bland. In the back, the Atto 2 has no floor hump to get in the way, whereas the Sportage compromises foot space with a chunky transmission hump. Even so, the longer Sportage offers a bigger boot and more room with the rear seats folded. Out on faster roads, the Sportage keeps wind noise well at bay at cruising speed and does not roll too much in corners. In contrast, the Atto 2 suffers from noticeable wind noise from its side mirrors and exhibits plenty of body lean around turns.
