Toyota RAV4 Hybrid VS Kia Sportage Hybrid comparison

[@mohsenqureshi6318]

Thank you for bringing up all the recall issues and details on both cars. Those types of things are extremely helpful when making a decision. Love this segment on your channel.

[@robinpham3851]

I am currently driving Kia Sportage In Vietnam, unfortunately the hybrid version did not come to our market, but the Diesel top trim model that I am currently driving in is extremely Eco efficient + so quiet, smooth and such a comfort space to be in! Just loving it

[@sterlingmichaels]

Wonderful 😎😉

[@RigiLiquid945]

I find the Kia seating to be more comfortable, and tech is more up to date. The Toyota has a 90's interior.

[@BluePhantomCavalier]

If only Kias didn’t have the minor recalled issue of catching on fire….

[@mementomori29231]

​@@BluePhantomCavalierif only Toyota didn't kill people with unintended acceleration. All car makers have issues. Our Toyota was far worse than our Hyundai and Kia vehicles, including a transmission failure at 90k miles.

I would buy the Kia. I’ve owned several Kia’s and they have been very reliable and well-built cars.

[@Kiss__Kiss]

Andrea... You will ALWAYS be right... LOL!!! @ 3:56 Those bronze colored wheels remind me of the old B5 Audi S4 "Avus" style oem wheel.. I also liked that you guys mixed up the format a little..

[@sterlingmichaels]

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.

[@willoverkill8461]

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!

[@stetsonclark8348]

I've test drove both of these. Looking at the exterior of the Rav4 really has me questioning why I decided to write it off as what I wanted. Then I saw the interior and remembered 😂

[@jeffer1101]

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).

[@hermanchow1405]

6 years old car and going into 7,8,9 years of life expectancy , do you still expect the car should acting like new ?

[@rinbine2713]

Do you agree that the cable is not hybrid system? What a world worst car company..

[@jeffer1101]

@@rinbine2713 I suppose it technically isn't, just like the coax cable is not your TV or the speaker cable isn't your speakers. However, it's clearly a design oversight and they should just cover it. Proof of it being a design mistake is the fact they have addressed it for the 2022 and newer models. I had a lot of things repaired on my Kia and dealing with warranty claims wasn't simple and straight forward with them either.

[@rinbine2713]

[@ivandoneshefsky4762]

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. EDIT: Great videos by the way. Informative and easy to watch.

[@mtbmike1328]

Here in SLC Kia only offers a non refundable deposit which turned we away from their product. Toyota and Honda offer fully refundable deposits. Even Hyundai will call you when the vehicle is allocated and give you the option to commit or refund your deposit. No dealership is perfect but I'll stay away from Kia!

[@ksref]

The Rav4 is less responsive on the gas pedal, and has an electric whine

[@ChrisMichals]

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.

[@Seanheery]

The Sportage has steering wheel mounted paddle shifters here in the US.

Don't see being able to do that with Kia w/o major repairs. Just my thoughts

[@dm285]

10-31-23 "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 recalls from the two Korean automakers are another in a long string of fire and engine failure problems that have dogged the companies for the past six years. This should sum up Kia/Hyundai vehicles.

If resale value and long-term reliability are major considerations, its almost like RAV4 is the default choice. As good as Hyundai/Kia's hybrid system is, its not yet as proven as Toyota's bulletproof system, especially when it comes to resale value on used market. If I have to choose, however, I would definitely take the Kia Sportage because its an much better package. Overall.

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 on stand by for a new vehicle, not a buyers market.

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.

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.

Sportage hybrid SX trim is bit expensive than RAV4 XLE premium Hybrid (with 2 year extended warranty), but Toyota’s higher interest rate covers it. 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?

[@mayankpatel9192]

I think lot of factors would help you make decision 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.

Does the Rav4 have wireless Apple carplay and wireless Android auto?

[@andreaspencer9813]

The 2023 model will have wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, the 2022 model has wired.

Will you be reviewing the Sportage PHEV or do you have any thoughts on it vs the Hybrid version?

[@andreaspencer9813]

We are still waiting for it to arrive, but will review it when it comes, looking forward to it.

@@andreaspencer9813 I just put a deposit down on Kia Sportage PHEV but looking forward to your review :} Your reviews helped me decide between the Tucson, Rav 4, and Sportage. Thank you!

[@andreaspencer9813]

@@Professor.Joe1 Oh good, smart to get your order in early. Glad our reviews have been helpful, so good to hear.

Did I miss something here. Where is the zero to sixty acceleration tests? Where are the braking tests and comparisons.. in my opinion the testing results are.critical. How about comparing the turning radius and overall vehicle weight….

[@splatmacpuffin]

I wonder how long the KIA will run reliability? There is a reason you can’t find the RAV4 anywhere.

Kia/Hyundai is Garbage,careful the engine fires don’t burn down your home.

[@chadxlr3978]

You can’t find the Sportage anywhere either. Most dealerships are marking up more than $5000 for the new Sportage. I went to 3 dealership and only found 2 Sportage

We all know the answer to that…just ask the 8.5 million people affect by the engine failures and fire recalls for 2012 - 2020 Kia/Hyundai models.

[@kellingtonlink956]

I’ve recently advised two individuals to check out the KIA (along with the Toyota) as each where looking for this size of CUV. Neither wanted to even consider the KIA as an option, even if it were significantly cheaper, better equipped or nicer (interior). I was quite honestly surprised. Unfortunately for KIA (and fortunately for Toyota) is still struggling with an identity problem or perceived brand quality issues. Its too bad as the Koreans offer quite an attractive option looks and price-wise. Thanks for the video.

[@kellingtonlink956]

Note: neither individuals were car people (knowledge wise).

[@moloono1]

It hard to break a bad reputation when your vehicles are being recalled for engine failures, excessive oil consumption, and fire recalls for model years 2012-2020. Hell, even the 2020 G80 had a fire recall 😂

[@richardharker2775]

Kia in Australia offer a 7 year warranty. Mitsubishi 10 years if you service solely with their dealers.

[@Hexa8]

How is reliability of kia after 100k kms ? Toyota n Honda we know last longer no issues

[@goldpilgrim]

Kia has a TURBO and 6-speed automatic transmission! More moving parts than Toyota. Is it good or bad?
