Comparison Review

Comfort
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Kia Sportage Hybrid, with comparable head- and legroom. The Jeep Wrangler 4xe will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Kia Sportage Hybrid.

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 Jeep Wrangler 4xe will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia Sportage Hybrid, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe is about the same width as the Kia Sportage Hybrid. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, which is slightly longer than the Kia Sportage Hybrid.

Handling
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe has the same turning radius as the Kia Sportage Hybrid, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe is clearly the choice over the Kia Sportage Hybrid for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe greatly out-muscles the Kia Sportage Hybrid.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia Sportage Hybrid.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Jeep Wrangler 4xe and the Kia Sportage Hybrid. The Jeep Wrangler 4xe has less cargo space than the Kia Sportage Hybrid, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
