| Diesel (Kia Sportage) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Toyota RAV4) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles.

Kia Sportage 2021: Under typical circumstances, the AWD system directs 95% of power to the front wheels and 5% to the rear, but it can automatically adjust this distribution as needed to maintain grip. A dedicated "lock" function enables a balanced 50/50 torque split between the front and rear wheels at speeds up to 30 km/h, offering a driving experience similar to traditional 4x4 systems. Additionally, the Sportage includes a "Terrain Mode" that optimizes performance on surfaces like mud, snow, and sand. Toyota RAV4 2019: It has proactive automatic four-wheel drive with Auto, Lock and Sport modes. In Auto mode, the car has front-wheel drive under normal conditions. If wheel slip is detected, torque is transferred to the rear wheels via an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch. In Sport mode, torque is transferred almost instantly between the front and rear wheels to enhance cornering performance by transferring up to 50 percent of engine power to the rear wheels. Lock mode can be activated when driving below 40 km/h (25 mph) and provides constant four-wheel drive. | |||
