If you are looking for a new sport utility vehicle, there are so many options available and all of these options have something to offer. The popularity of the compact SUV began to grow a few years ago when automakers developed more efficient and more fun to drive alternatives in the segment, offering consumers vehicles that handled, performed, and consumed fuel much like a sedan, but with the added benefit of better versatility.
The compact SUV segment is so popular that just about every manufacturer has something to offer. That said, each model is different in where it shines and its strong suits. Take the 2022 Kia Sportage and the 2021 Nissan Rogue.

The new 2022 Kia Sportage is indeed an SUV that emphasizes performance and drivability while being fuel efficient and versatile. This is where it stands out from the 2021 Nissan Rogue.
Get a more dynamic drive and more value in the 2022 Kia Sportage
One buys a 2022 Kia Sportage because he or she wants to have fun on the road. Considered by experts to be the most fun-to-drive compact SUV in its niche, the 2022 Kia Sportage features a powerful 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine producing 181 standard horsepower which is as much power as the Rogue, but thanks to a traditional 6-speed automatic (as opposed to a CVT which drains power delivery), the Sportage feels faster.
It is also possible to get a turbo four-cylinder engine with 237 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque in the Kia Sportage, an engine that is over 30% more powerful than the four-cylinder engine in the 2021 Nissan Rogue.
The good news with all of this is that the 2022 Kia Sportage is not only powerful, but also fuel efficient and very versatile with 1,703 liters of cargo space which is more than enough for all of our cargo and transportation needs.
The Sportage is stylish, fun, and packed with features. And at a base price of under $26,000, it is also more affordable than the new Rogue.
