The strong starting performance of the Sportage carries over into more categories than just performance. Its strong general audio system has 6 speakers (compared to just a very uneven four speakers for the CR-V). Base model shoppers will really want to take a good look at the base models between the two. A Sportage base delivers an 8-inch touchscreen display with a rear view camera generously added in, remote key entry, and standard Apple CarPlay Android Auto. You'll get a few of these same features on the CR-V, but they aren't well-designed like in the Sportage. Everything in the Sportage is simple, second nature actions (a button here, a click there). It's a technology system serving Boardman Youngstown Akron Canton Warren with the things frugal shoppers dream of. You're free to pinch pennies without losing your high tech cabin.

Kia Sportage Mechanical specs

The 2,000 pound towing performance of the 2022 Sportage LX is by far better than the base towing performance of the CR-V (only 1,500 pounds). Sportage horsepower ranges from 181 HP to 240 HP, a hefty number for a compact crossover that isn't really built for performance on early trims, but that fact doesn't keep the Sportage from having one of the peppiest and affordable base model engines in the industry. The clear 190 horsepower from the CR-V is as good as it gets. There aren't multiple engine choices or the ability to customize the type of stylish drive you want. In any 2022 Kia Sportage vs 2022 Honda CR-V comparison, you'll notice that the Sportage laps the Honda model by far.
