2018 Kia Sportage vs. 2018 Ford Escape

Shopping for a capable crossover SUV opens up a wide variety of options. From compacts to three-row models, the possibilities are endless. But perhaps you're looking for something a bit different from the ordinary. Something that stands out, but not too much. Consider the 2018 Kia Sportage. 

This refined, sophisticated crossover SUV is as powerful as it is functional with an athletic driving experience that will impress. With that said, the 2018 Kia Sportage isn't the only option out there. The 2018 Ford Escape is another contender in the space, but how does it compare to the 2018 Kia Sportage?

Test drive the new 2018 Sportage today at Matt Castrucci Kia 

Ford's new Escape receives a number of updates for 2018, including a new SEL trim and a 245-hp, turbocharged four-cylinder engine for the Titanium model. Where the Escape shines is its sporty handling, generous cargo space and great selection of high-tech features. When put side-by-side with the 2018 Kia Sportage, the 2018 Ford Escape can't match the crossover SUV's impressive safety ratings or its nimble handling.  

Like the Escape, the 2018 Kia Sportage also receives a number of updates for the model year, including stain-resistent cloth upholstery, more optional equipment, blind-spot and rear cross-traffic alert systems and a new EX Sport Appearance package. Even the base 2018 Kia Sportage LX model is standard with a large selection of features, including a 5-inch touchscreen, a rearview camera, Bluetooth, a six-speaker sound system with satellite radio, a USB port, selectable driving modes, automatic headlights and much more.
