Comparison Review

Comfort
The Ford Expedition offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Kia Sportage, with comparable head- and legroom. The Ford Expedition will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Kia Sportage.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Ford Expedition will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia Sportage, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Ford Expedition is much wider than the Kia Sportage, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Ford Expedition, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia Sportage.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Ford Expedition is clearly the choice over the Kia Sportage for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Ford Expedition greatly out-muscles the Kia Sportage.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Ford Expedition does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia Sportage.

Utility
The Ford Expedition offers greater seating capacity than the Kia Sportage, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. With the Ford Expedition, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Kia Sportage.
