Test drivers say that the 2013 Kia Sportage’s base four-cylinder engine provides enough power for just about any driving situation. However, most reviewers prefer the available turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which they say makes the 2013 Sportage one of the quickest SUVs in the segment. A six-speed manual transmission is standard and a six-speed automatic is optional. Reviewers haven’t said much about either transmission, though one critic comments that the automatic offered smooth, responsive shifts. While test drivers say that the Sportage’s firm suspension means that it isn’t the smoothest-riding compact SUV in the class, they also note that the 2013 Sportage offers composed handling that rivals like the Jeep Patriot can’t match.

Inside, the Sportage offers less cargo and passenger space than a number of SUVs in the class. Some reviewers say that the Sportage’s seats are uncomfortable, and that rivals like the Subaru Forester and Honda CR-V have more back-seat passenger space. Additionally, a few test drivers note that the Sportage’s stylish exterior design and thick roof pillars take a toll on outward visibility, and that the cabin, while stylish, could use higher-quality materials. Despite these complaints, the Sportage comes with more standard features than many SUVs in the class, and reviewers point out that its electronic features are easy to use. The 2013 Kia Sportage comes standard with USB and Bluetooth connectivity, while options include heated front seats, push-button start, navigation, dual-zone automatic climate control and a panoramic moonroof.

If you like the Sportage’s car-like ride, but want a compact SUV with a spacious back seat, consider the Subaru XV Crosstrek. It’s not as powerful as the Sportage, but the XV Crosstrek gets great fuel economy and comes with all-wheel drive as standard equipment.

The Ford Escape offers a comfortable back seat, good fuel economy and more cargo space than you’ll find in the Sportage. Additionally, reviewers say that the Escape’s nimble handling and car-like ride make it one of the most fun-to-drive SUVs in the class.
