Hi all.
Trying to make a decision and can't easily separate these two. Main reason for comparing these is safety features, size and cost.
Mostly comparing the Outlander LS AWD and the Sportage SX+ AWD.
Outlander seems to win with safety features, though how each describe their features is so opaque that I might be misreading their equivalence. Also has 10 year warranty, $2k cheaper servicing over 7 years. Don't really care about the 7 seat bit.
Sportage is a bit sleeker, but missing some safety features like second row curtain airbags. I also like Kia more as a brand having driven my last Sportage for 7 years.
Can anyone think of any compelling reason to go one over the other?
Doesn't this settle it then? I'm not sure on the statistics but surely the safety of your family is improved greatly by having curtain airbags in the rear and every other point is relatively moot in comparison.
