    This is a Motormouth couple car comparison of the updated 2022 Toyota RAV4 hybrid versus the 2023 all-new Kia Sportage Hybrid. Both of these new compact crossover hybrids have some of the best fuel economy. These two models are very popular and not so easy to get these days. The Kia Sportage Hybrid is bigger than the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, it has a little more front row legroom but an extra 3.5” of rear seat legroom. The Sportage wins in cargo capacity with an extra 4.3 cubic feet or 122 litres more overall space. The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid has a A 2.5L 4-cylinder matched to an ECVT with Toyota’s hybrid synergy drive; it produces 219 combined horsepower with standard AWD. The Kia Sportage Hybrid has a 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission, 227 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Standard AWD in Canada, but FWD and AWD options are available in the US. Fuel economy is very good, but the RAV4 does better at 5.8L/100km, 41 MPG city and 6.3L/100km, 38 MPG highway. The Sportage 6.1L/100 km, 38 MPG city and 6.3L/100 km, 38 MPG highway. Both the RAV4 and Sportage have very different exterior designs, the Sportage more modern and futuristic with 8.3” of ground clearance, the RAV4 rugged with 8.1” of ground clearance.
    The Toyota RAV4 offers a practical and versatile interior, the Sportage offers a much more modern design with the available 12.3” touchscreen and digital driver display, standard 8” touchscreen. The RAV4 has a standard 7” touchscreen, available 8” and 9” touchscreen but there are changes coming for 2023 which will make the RAV4 more competitive. It will be getting Toyota’s new multi-media system with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, dual Bluetooth phone connectivity and a standard 8” touchscreen, available 10.5” touchscreen and 12.3” multi-information display The Toyota has more trims to choose from giving you more options for all different budgets. The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid starts at
    $33,350 CAD/$29,075 USD, XLE $36,350 CAD/$30,545 USD, XLE Premium $33,435 USD, SE $38,150 CAD/$31,730 USD, XSE $40,790 CAD/$35,055 USD, XSE + tech package $44,990 CAD and Limited $44,650 CAD/$37,575 USD. The Kia Sportage FWD model starts at $27,290 USD, AWD $29,090 USD, EX $35,995 CAD/$30,990 USD and SX $42,695 CAD/$36,190 USD.

    so after watching many of your video and high praise for the Kia Sportage, my wife and i found a 2023 and drove it last night. it’s nice looking both inside and out but for us the seats were much too narrow. i’m 6’ 205 and my back could not fit between the side bolsters. my wife is 5’5” 110 pounds and even she thought the seats were too narrow. we also thought the engine noise in the cabin was much to loud under any acceleration. keep in mind we have owned three Kia’s in the past. we are now waiting for the Telluride to arrive and hope it’s a better experience.

    I bought a new Camry hybrid because of the Toyota hybrid track record, my first Toyota and I came out of a Kia product. But I also purchased with cash and plan to own it a long time, if I was leasing I might have felt different, Hyundai/Kia usually have better rates.
    And I extended the warranty to 5 years, Toyota should definitely be 5 years B2B standard!

    You both did a great job with this review but let's be honest. At the end of the day Andrea is right.....of course. 🤣
    Both Toyota and Kia are legit companies although I am a little disappointed to see Toyota insisting that a cable is not part of the hybrid system. That's not what I expected from them.

    I just got my Sportage hybrid last Friday and I’m absolutely loving it! I got the Xline and I actually took a lift 90 miles away to Lancaster because they told me if I came in that day to buy instead of charging me $6000 over sticker they would only charge $2000 and pay for my ride.
    I was very happy with Valley Kia and I’m very happy with the car but I may wind up trading it in very soon because I want the top of the line and then white instead of the gray that I got. It’s just a personal choice And I will lease and save about $250 a month by doing so by trading up.
    I wanted all of the features and I wanted the white color and they were absolutely not available right away.
    And I did consider the plug-in RAV4 but I’d much rather save the money and try out Kia for once and see what it’s like and I love the design so much better than the RAV4.

    As a former Kia owner, I traded in my almost 10 year old car for my Venza last year (sister car to the RAV4 Hybrid). I found my Kia to be quite reliable for about 6 years, but in the last 3 years I owned it, it needed about $7000 worth of repairs on various things that didn't seem to hold up long term (and a few of the issues were quite expensive). Now, the good news is I bought an extended warranty, so it was all covered under that, but even making warranty claims always seemed like a hassle. Also, I had to bring the vehicle back numerous times to fix the issue, so in my experience, the service level was pretty below average. If they couldn't handle repairs right the first time around on a regular car, I wouldn't be overly confident they'd manage any better with a more complex vehicle with a turbo and hybrid powertrain. I chose to replace my Kia with a Toyota Hybrid as they are known to be the most reliable vehicles on the planet and I am hopeful the dealership experience will be better (it can't be worse than the Kia dealership was). Lastly, regarding "Cablegate", the issue is the cable that connects to the rear motor mounts facing "up", which allows salt/water to creep into the connector housing and pool, which will corrode and damage the connector over time. This issue only affects 2019-2021 models. The newer ones have a cover that helps protect the connector/motor better and I think they may have reversed the connector position (so it now faces down).

      I have a 21 Venza limited fully loaded. Question for you; in US gallons are you able to pump more than 11 gallons when nearly empty? Toyota says Venza has a 14.5 gallon tank and highway mpg over 500 miles. In almost 12,000 miles and 1- extended driving trip of over 2500 miles, I’ve been unable to get more than 425 miles range on 1-tank. My dealer has had the car twice to try to remedy the issue but has failed. Toyota corporate has been notified but they are inept. Plenty of complaints from owners on Venza forums. Can’t complain about the mpg as it’s been as advertised. Btw. the tires are terrible in the snow and are very loud with increasing miles. Good luck with your Venza purchase.

    All your numbers are off by exactly $500 US for the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. Every trim model is $500 more on the Toyota website in the US. And worth noting you're comparing the 2023 Sportage vs. the 2022 RAV4. I'm sure those prices will get a bump up for the new 2023 RAV4 model with the updated interior infotainment screen.
    I just spent 2 weeks researching both of these vehicles, watching every video and reading every article I could find on the two. Yesterday I ordered the Sportage hybrid. Also, local Kia dealerships are saying 4-6 months for the Sportage Hybrid, while Toyota dealership says RAV4 is over a year wait supposedly. I like them both for different reasons, and both have pluses and minuses. Neither is perfect, but I don't think you can go wrong with either one, I think the Sportage Hybrid and RAV4 Hybrid are both great choices.

    Very good review, I had hard time deciding between the 2. What leaned me toward RAV4 is the shifter. Kia has a dial that I don’t understand but sure looks like it’s not like the RAV4 where you can manually shift it. Being from Buffalo NY, I’ve learned that down shifting in snow is far more effective than ABS braking by itself. When I look for a vehicle, I need to see that I have control of the drive system. That dial thing on the Sportage does not tell me what I’m looking for. So far I have not seen anyone comment on that.

So is it safe to buy Sportage hybrid full option in Canada without any extended warranty or better to go with RAV4 with relatively less features?

      1. Do you want your car to look classy from both inside outside? --> Sportage
      2. Do you want faster Pickup ? --> RAV4 ( bigger engine)
      3. Howmuch can you wait ? Rav4 has atleast 1 and half year waiting , Sportage SX you may get in 6-8 months considering more people go for PHEV EX/SX
      Exclude warranty part from your decision for a second and make the decision. If you like Kia, you can always purchase warranty for $50K+ vehicle at the time of final paperwork.

      @robertpreston2770 ปีที่แล้ว

      Competitive capitalism will drive them there to some degree. As an example, Honda has lost huge market share of new sales due to supply issues. Got to believe they are going to want to produce and incent enough to try and win most of that back as they overcome their supply issues. At the same time, Hyundai and others who have taken that share are not going to want to give it up. Car makers will produce enough cars to the extent they can increase overall market share/revenues/profits without letting margins get to low per car. Also, a car maker who has more to chose from off the lot will typically increase sales better than one who has les and longer order intervals.

    "CableGate"...since your video, has now been resolved. In the USA Toyota has sent out letters to those affected hybrid owners, that an 8 year of 100k mile warranty on the cable in question now exists.
    I recd my letter I believe about 8 months ago. They will inspect the hybrid vehicle for free if it is exhibiting symptoms like a defective cable and if it is the issue, they will also replace it for free. I am very happy with that.
    In Canada my understanding is that affected hybrid owners, also recd a warranty/ free replacement if the cable has failed due to corrosion (per articles I have read) for a similar period of time.

    The Sportage is definitely nicer, sporty, and looks more modern. I wonder if the 1.6 turbo would be reliable, long term. The RAV4 is proven technology, with good resale value, and to quote Zack, you will get your money back from the bank of Toyota.

    Really nice interior on the Kia. Front end is way over the top. I’ve been following “cable gate” and Toyota really has to make this right for affected owners. I’m still convinced Toyota one of the most reliable brands though. Not a big fan of the RAV4 “Star Wars Storm Trooper” look though and industrial looking interior as well as the noisy cabin. I’m on stand by for a new vehicle, not a buyers market.

    • @pierrec.5516
      @pierrec.5516 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Andrea and Zack both said (a few times) that the Kia was quiet so I doubt the cabin is noisier than the Toyota. The Toyota's interior is so utilitarian, they are far behind many competitors in this area. I also would be very reluctant to spend my hard earned dollars on the idea that the company is going to "make things right" on a known defect. I have a friend that just bought a new RAV4 and spent over a thousand dollars getting the extended warranty to protect himself from the risk of a cable problem. Toyota should fix things now or I think they risk losing sales to their competitor.

I have a 2017 sportage and it’s the best everyday/family car In my opinion. Here in the US the standard warranty is 5yr/60k bumper to bumper w/ 100k power train warranty.
