Compare the Toyota Yaris Cross vs Kia Sportage
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Kia Sportage is longer and more powerful than the Toyota Yaris Cross, and it gives you a bigger boot both with the rear seats up and folded down. Inside, the Yaris Cross is a bit cramped in the back, whereas the Sportage offers good space with plenty of room between rear passengers' knees and the front seats. On twisty roads, neither car leans or rolls too much, though the Toyota's steering has a nice feel while the Kia provides no sense of feedback through the steering wheel. If you put your foot down in the hybrid versions, both cars suffer from noticeable engine noise. Settle into a motorway cruise, however, and wind and road noise are kept well at bay in the Sportage and remain fairly unintrusive in the Yaris Cross.
