Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Sportage than in the Volvo EX90. The Volvo EX90 will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has 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). Clearly, the Kia Sportage is a better financial choice over the Volvo EX90, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Kia Sportage is much slimmer than the Volvo EX90, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Kia Sportage, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Volvo EX90.

Handling
The Kia Sportage has the same turning radius as the Volvo EX90, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Volvo EX90 is clearly the choice over the Kia Sportage for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Kia Sportage has a lot less horsepower than the Volvo EX90.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Kia Sportage does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volvo EX90.

Utility
The Kia Sportage has less seating than the Volvo EX90, making the Volvo EX90 the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Kia Sportage has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Volvo EX90.
