2014 Nissan Qashqai vs Kia Sportage

Compact SUV has never fallen out of trend, which explains why carmakers continue to produce them. The latest Nissan Qashqai is among the bestselling SUV at the moment but is it better than the Kia Sportage?

The Qashqai arrives with a panoramic roof. While it might be similar with the Sportage, the premium specs come with a glass roof that stretches from the windscreen, all the way to the C pillars. Then again, the Korean SUV has an added option of folding the roof to enjoy the breeze outside.

Also, both the Qashqai and the Sportage utilized LED lighting technology. The former relies on energy saving bulbs while the latter opted for the xenon bulbs.

It is more environmental friendly on the Qashqai as it emits 99g/km of carbon. This is almost half of the 135g/km emission produced by the Sportage, even when it is equipped with the ecoDynamic kit.

Obviously, the Nissan Qashqai is the winner in this contest. Aside from just being stylish and efficient, it is also able to offer power when needed. The Sportage is still a long way behind in the SUV market.
