Firmly entrenching yourself in a professional, family-oriented lifestyle is a much easier proposition for most drivers to handle when they have a versatile, reliable and dedicated crossover SUV by their side. For this reason, many American consumers opt for this kind of vehicle, and the reasons are endless; though crossovers are primarily known for their interior innovation and tech advancement, there's also an element and power that allows you to recapture your youth whenever you need to. Two of the most popular vehicles for this kind of goal are the 2018 Kia Sportage and 2018 Nissan Rogue; both have been consistently lauded as some of the highest performing vehicles on the market. Our question is, how well do they match up one-on-one?

It offers an available all-wheel-drive system, and an upgrade to its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine equates to a horsepower rating of 240. Plus, with an overall NHTSA 5-star safety rating, the Sportage has an uncanny aptitude for bringing your ultimate security and peace of mind to the foreground of every drive.
