Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Sportage than in the Kia EV6, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Kia EV6 and 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 Kia EV6 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia Sportage, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Kia EV6 is about the same width as the Kia Sportage. When looking at overall length, the Kia EV6 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Kia Sportage.

Handling
The Kia EV6 has the same turning radius as the Kia Sportage, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Kia EV6 is clearly the choice over the Kia Sportage for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Kia EV6 greatly out-muscles the Kia Sportage.

Powertrain
The Kia EV6 has much lower torque than the Kia Sportage, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Kia EV6 and the Kia Sportage. The Kia EV6 has significantly less cargo capacity than the Kia Sportage.
