Compare the Ford Kuga vs Kia Sportage
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Ford Kuga has a bigger boot than the Kia Sportage, but the Sportage offers more room with the back seats folded down. Out on country lanes, the Kuga is at its best, where minimal body lean and a surprising amount of steering feel inspire confidence, whereas the Sportage is not very capable on a twisty road. At cruising speed, both cars quieten down, keeping wind and road noise well at bay, with almost no tyre roar or wind noise in the Kuga. If you opt for a hybrid, putting your foot down in one of the Sportage hybrids delivers a big helping of engine noise, while the hybrid Kuga sounds harsh when accelerating.
