This is the new Nissan X-Trail Vs Kia Sportage comparison for 2023. We like the look of the Sportage but not the mechanical package so much. So far, we have mixed views of the X-Trail and will continue to evolve as we do more reviews and comparisons. So how does the older Kia Sportage compare to the all new Nissan X-Trail?
Nissan X-Trail Vs Kia Sportage exterior comparison: The X-Trail looks more conservative in photos than in real life. Except for the rear end… On the road it does have more character but ultimately still quite inoffensive. In comparison the Kia Sportage has a more unique character and a more modern and longer lasting design but can offend some potential buyers. We prefer the look of the Sportage.
Nissan X-Trail Vs Kia Sportage interior comparison: With the increase in size for both models over the last generation they are now more spacious. However the X-Trail has the bigger interior if that is important to you. In terms of design both are great places to be in but we feel that the Sportage has the more impressive interior at least in top range trim.
Nissan X-Trail Vs Kia Sportage engine and technology comparison: No question the X-Trail has the latest tech and in comparison the Sportage does not. The presentation may be more impressive in the Kia but the X-Trail is just as well presented but in a more traditional way.
The conclusion and winner of the Nissan X-Trail Vs Kia Sportage comparison is the X-Trail. Who doesn’t want a hyriid engine in the current world of high petrol prices? that’s the only genuine reason why the Nissan wins this comparison.
