Carwow’s own expert rating out of 10 - how our reviewers rate this car overall for value, comfort, kit and driving experience
9/10
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Kia Sportage has a bigger boot than the Skoda Elroq, and gives you more room with the back seats folded. Around town, the Sportage has suspension that is a bit firm, whereas the Elroq has soft suspension that dispatches most lumps and bumps comfortably, though bigger speedbumps and potholes leave you rocking and jiggling about a bit. You will find both cars easy to park. On winding roads, both resist body lean, with the Sportage not rolling too much in corners and the Elroq having remarkably little lean. However, neither model offers feedback through the steering wheel.
