Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Sportage than in the INFINITI QX50, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Kia Sportage offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the INFINITI QX50, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
The INFINITI QX50 requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Kia Sportage, making it more convenient to drive.

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 INFINITI QX50 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia Sportage, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the INFINITI QX50 is much wider than the Kia Sportage, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the INFINITI QX50 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Kia Sportage.

Handling
The INFINITI QX50 has a smaller turning radius than the Kia Sportage, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the INFINITI QX50 greatly out-muscles the Kia Sportage.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the INFINITI QX50 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia Sportage.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the INFINITI QX50 and the Kia Sportage. The INFINITI QX50 has less cargo space than the Kia Sportage, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
