Comparison Review

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

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Ford Bronco Sport as you will with the Kia Sportage, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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 Ford Bronco Sport is somewhat more expensive than the Kia Sportage.

Dimensions
The Ford Bronco Sport is a little wider than the Kia Sportage, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. If you go with the Ford Bronco Sport, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Kia Sportage.

Handling
The Ford Bronco Sport has a smaller turning radius than the Kia Sportage, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
With the Ford Bronco Sport, you'll be able to pull heavier loads than the Kia Sportage. The Ford Bronco Sport has a little less horsepower than the Kia Sportage.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Ford Bronco Sport transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Kia Sportage.

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