FRONT HEADROOM
BLIND SPOT WARNING
EPA-EST* MPG (CTY/HWY)
Are you ready to cruise down the highway and make a statement with your expertly designed machine? If so, the last thing you’ll want to do is pull over for a fuel stop. To save time and make sure the fun doesn’t get interrupted, you’ll want a vehicle that offers great fuel efficiency.
Both the Nissan Rogue Sport and the Kia Sportage come with Front-Wheel Drive (FWD). Both models have a lot to offer, as is evident from their standard MPG ratings:
- Nissan Rogue Sport: EPA-estimated 25 city/32 highway MPG*
- Kia Sportage: EPA-estimated 25 city/32 highway MPG
While you’ll achieve identical performance when you stick with standard FWD, the Nissan Rogue Sport goes the extra mile when you upgrade to Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD).
With Intelligent AWD, your Nissan Rogue Sport offers an EPA-estimated 24 city/30 highway MPG.*
In comparison, the Kia Sportage loses quite a few miles, only achieving an EPA-estimated 23 city/28 highway MPG rating. In addition, the Sportage has a slightly smaller fuel tank at just 14.3 gallons compared to the Nissan model’s 14.5-gallon capacity.
One of the best things about a compact SUV is the spacious interior. Despite the small size of these SUVs, they still provide ample space for you and your passengers. You’ll find identical headroom measurements in the front with 39.6 inches in both models. However, this is just one measurement out of many.
Both the Nissan Rogue Sport and the Kia Sportage offer impressive amenities such as a moonroof and a panoramic sunroof, respectively. However, this changes some of the dimensions.
If you’re set on having a sunroof or a moonroof, you’ll want to know which model has the most space in that scenario:
ROGUE SPORT | SPORTAGE | |
|---|---|---|
| FRONT HEADROOM | 38.8" | 37.8" |
| REAR HEADROOM | 38.5" | 38" |
When it comes to space for your legs, you’ll see the Nissan Rogue Sport also offers a bit more wiggle room with 42.8 inches of front legroom. In comparison, the Kia Sportage has just 41.4 inches of legroom in the front row.
Whether you’re traveling with friends or family, you’ll want to have peace of mind for the trip. With both SUV models, you can relax knowing your vehicle is working to help keep you safe. After all, both the Nissan Rogue Sport and the Kia Sportage come equipped with standard safety features, like Lane Departure Warning.
Speaking of standard features, you’ll be impressed by the Nissan Rogue Sport, which comes standard with Safety Shield® 360 that includes:
- Intelligent Lane Intervention
- Blind Spot Warning
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
If you’re looking for a system that can alert you when there’s another vehicle in your blind spot or behind you, you’ll have to upgrade to a higher trim level in the Kia Sportage since these systems don’t come standard on the base trim.
With so many similar features, it’s no surprise that you’re choosing between the Nissan Rogue Sport and the Kia Sportage. While both are impressive, the Nissan Rogue Sport has more standard features available.
