At Fairfield Kia in Keene, NH, we’re proud to offer you the new 2022 Kia Sportage, Kia’s best-selling model. The Kia Sportage for 2022 is compact family SUV that offers exceptional value and style. It provides you with an array of interior comforts and conveniences that make this an unusually appealing form of family transportation. But we also know you have other choices like the Nissan Rogue, so let’s compare the two.
Comparing price tags
This is a good starting point because it provides a baseline for judging the value of each of these very similar compact SUVs. The 2022 Kia Sportage and the Nissan Rogue both have appealing features. But according to Car Connection, the base price for the Nissan Rogue is thousands of dollars higher. Let’s see if Nissan can justify its high price.
Comparing performance
The newest Kia Sportage starts with a four-cylinder engine while the Nissan Rogue offers only a three-cylinder engine. Both base-level engines have almost identical horsepower, which is surprising given the Rogue’s higher price. The Sportage also has a turbo-charged option while Nissan doesn’t. Both give you the traction of All-Wheel Drive and that’s a bonus for the Kia Sportage since its monthly payment could be a lot less than the Rogue’s.
Comparing interiors
Both vehicles have comfortable seating, although the reviewers at U.S. News & World Report make note of the fact that the latest Kia Sportage has a particularly upscale cabin. They cite the high quality of materials employed in the Kia Sportage along with its "superb fit and finish." Interior room is about the same in a number of areas for both vehicles, with nearly identical front shoulder room and second row legroom.
Comparing infotainment
These two models both have a standard 8-inch touchscreen but the Kia Sportage gives you more when it comes to the stereo system. The Nissan Rogue provides you with a minimal base four-speaker system while the 2022 Kia Sportage gives families in Brattleboro and Dover, VT the extra enjoyment of six speakers at the base. The Kia Sportage also allows you to upgrade to a premium Harman/Kardon surround sound system.
Comparing safety
We’re happy to report that both these compact SUVs have a long list of standard and available safety features. For example, both the 2022 Kia Sportage and the 2022 Nissan Rogue protect families around Greenfield, MA with the security of a collision warning system to help prevent getting involved in an accident that’s occurring on the road ahead. Both also give you the convenience and reassurance of a rear-view camera system.
Comparing warranties
A vehicle’s warranty reflects how much confidence the carmaker has in the quality of the vehicle’s components and craftsmanship. You would think that, with its substantially higher price, the Nissan Rogue would give Nissan owners the assurance of a long warranty. Unfortunately for Nissan buyers, that isn’t the case. In fact, the 2022 Kia Sportage has a far better warranty, both at the basic level and for the all-important powertrain.
The 2022 Kia Sportage gives you America’s best warranty, with 5-year/60,000-mile basic protection and amazing 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage. The Nissan Rogue offers only a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Apparently Nissan doesn’t have much confidence in the Rogue, so should you?
