2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek VS 2015 Kia Sportage Design

While both the 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek and 2015 Kia Sportage are versatile compact crossovers, the design of the 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek makes it well suited for your Montana lifestyle. Both vehicles are close in size but the Subaru XV Crosstrek feels more spacious with more front head room, front leg room, and more overall length and height. The long wheel base and 8.7 inch ground clearance helps make the new 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek off-road ready. With standard roof rails, the 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek makes it easy to bring along your gear. Features like the heated mirrors and heated front seats ease the Montana winter. Though the 2015 Kia Sportage and 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek are both well-appointed small crossovers, the rugged XV Crosstrek gets the edge when it comes to living in Billings, MT.

Compare the Performance of the 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek and 2015 Kia Sportage

Though you'll get more power out of the 2015 Kia Sportage, the Subaru XV Crosstrek offers money saving fuel economy and the confidence of standard all-wheel drive. The new Sportage can be equipped with a 182 horsepower 2.4L engine or a turbocharged 260 horsepower 2.0L engine, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with standard front-drive or optional all-wheel drive. Choose the 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek, however, and you'll get a 2.0L Boxer engine paired with either a five-speed manual transmission or Continuously Variable Transmission and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. No matter how you equip the Kia Sportage, it can't match the 34 mpg highway fuel economy of the 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek! If all-wheel drive capability and fuel efficiency are important to you, the Subaru XV Crosstrek should be your first choice.

2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek and 2015 Kia Sportage Safety and Features

Choosing a crossover with the latest safety equipment and technology can be crucial to your driving experience down the road. Both the 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek and the 2015 Kia Sportage come equipped with antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, and advanced airbags but only the XV Crosstrek offers a standard rearview camera and the available EyeSight safety system. EyeSight bundles adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, steering-responsive fog lights, and forward collision mitigation. The Subaru XV Crosstrek also offers Bluetooth phone and audio, a 6.2-inch touchscreen display, Aha smartphone app integration, hands-free text messaging, and more--the Kia Sportage offers the UVO telematics system. For increased peace-of-mind and cutting-edge accessibility, choose the all-new 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek.
