| 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 (Mitsubishi Xpander) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles.

Kia Sportage has 4x4: 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. | |||
