Toyota RAV4 vs. Honda CR-V vs. Kia Sportage

I feel like this is a paid article by Kia. The Sportage is a good vehicle but 1st place, above Toyota and Honda?

TLDR

  • 1st Place: Kia Sportage Hybrid (8.7/10)

    • Why it won: Offers the best value for the money, superior interior quality/design, and the best warranty in the group.

    • The catch: It is the least fuel-efficient of the three (35 mpg AWD).

  • 2nd Place: Toyota RAV4 (8.1/10)

    • Why it's good: Features a much-needed technology upgrade (larger screens, standard dashcam) and is the most fuel-efficient (42 mpg AWD).

    • The catch: Lacks comfort and refinement due to hard front seats, noisy cabin, and cheaper interior materials.

  • 3rd Place: Honda CR-V (7.5/10)

    • Why it's good: It is the most satisfying to drive with excellent handling and steering.

    • The catch: It finishes last because it is the most expensive and notably lacks modern features (no surround-view camera, ventilated seats, or panoramic sunroof) that its rivals offer.
