Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Sportage Hybrid than in the Hyundai Venue, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Kia Sportage Hybrid offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Hyundai Venue, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
With the Kia Sportage Hybrid, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Hyundai Venue, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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 Hyundai Venue is a better financial choice over the Kia Sportage Hybrid, when considering MSRP.

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