The CR-V has similar output of 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque.

The CR-V offers a CVT, which is known to be bland in terms of driving dynamics.

The Kia Sportage kicks things up a few notches with the 2.0L Turbo GDI 4-cylinder which takes driving to a new level with 237 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, leaving the Honda CR-V in the dust. Most Sportage models also include all-wheel drive to help you have more fun and safety.
