Both compact SUVs have a lot to offer drivers, whether they’re looking for space, performance or efficiency. However, when you compare the two side-by-side like in our table, it’s clear that the 2019 Toyota RAV4 has the advantage over its Kia competitor.

To start with, the 2019 Toyota RAV4 has much more to offer when it comes to performance than the 2019 Kia Sportage.
