Fuel Economy

These days, drivers are paying more attention at the pump, and that's a good thing for the Earth and everyone on it. If you are looking for impressive fuel economy from a crossover utility vehicle, choose the 2016 Toyota RAV4. This svelte crossover is powered by a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine that makes 176 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque. It also returns up to 24 miles per gallon in the city and 31 miles per gallon on the highway. In the 2016 RAV4 Hybrid, you will get even better fuel economy; an estimated 34 miles per gallon city and 31 miles per gallon highway. On the other hand, the Kia Sportage is powered by either a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder or a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine; the former can only return 21 miles per gallon city and 28 miles per gallon highway and the latter's numbers are estimated at 20 city and 26 highway MPG. The Sportage is not as efficient as the RAV4 and does not offer a hybrid powertrain, so the Toyota RAv4 wins a point!

Cargo Space

Most shoppers considering a crossover utility vehicle are looking for good cargo space and a versatile cabin that can easily fit a large variety of items. In the 2016 Toyota RAV4, you will find an amazing cargo area that is both spacious and versatile. The Toyota RAV4 provides 38.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, and 73.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front seats to accommodate extra-large items. Another thing that shoppers like about the RAV4 is its low loading floor; a lower sill height makes loading large, heavy, and awkward items a breeze. In the Kia Sportage, by contrast, you will only get 26.1 cubic feet behind the rear seats for cargo. Even folding down the rear seats brings you up short with only 54.6 cubic feet of cargo space available with the seats down. Make toting cargo an easy task with the 2016 Toyota RAV4 from Sun Toyota.

Safety Features and Crash Test Scores

Crossover utility vehicles make for great family cars, and safety-minded mons and dads will love how secure the 2016 Toyota RAV4 is in comparison to the Kia Sportage. In crash tests by the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) the Kia Sportage only earned a four-star overall score while the 2016 Toyota RAV4 took home a perfect five-star score. In the safety features department, the RAV4 is also the front runner. Standard safety equipment on the 2016 RAV4 includes Toyota's Star Safety System (stability and traction control, anti-lock brakes, brake-force distribution, brake assist, and smart stop technology), hill-start assist, trailer-sway control, tire pressure monitoring, a full cabin of airbags including a driver knee-area airbag, the LATCH system for child seats, and much more. The 2016 RAV4 is also an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ vehicle, and the Sportage has not earned that designation for its 2016 model. The Toyota RAV4 is safe enough that you can confidently navigate any road with your precious cargo in tow.

Style and Options

If you want to drive a stylish crossover that will turn heads on the road, then choose the 2016 Toyota RAV4. The RAV4 was recently redesigned and it really puts the `sport' in "sport utility". The front end is bold and unique, with a chiseled look that adds a healthy dose of aggression to its personality. Overall, the 2016 RAV4 looks as athletic as can be and the Sportage is just no match. The Kia Sportage is rounded and bulbous, and it doesn't exude the thrill of adventure like the 2016 Toyota RAV4 does.
