Toyota Hilux 2020 vs Kia Sportage 2018
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.8 Diesel | 1.6 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Toyota Hilux) 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 (Kia Sportage) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles.

| Power: | 204 HP | 177 HP | |
| Torque: | 500 NM | 265 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 10.7 seconds | 9.1 seconds | |
| Toyota Hilux engine produces 27 HP more power than Kia Sportage, whereas torque is 235 NM more than Kia Sportage. Despite the higher power, Toyota Hilux reaches 100 km/h speed 1.6 seconds later. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | |
| Ground clearance: | 293 mm (11.5 inches) | 172 mm (6.8 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Toyota Hilux can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 250'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Toyota Hilux engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 10 years | 14 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used also on Toyota Land Cruiser | Installed on at least 9 other car models, including Kia Ceed, Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Tucson, Hyundai Elantra | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Kia Sportage might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The Toyota Hilux engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||

no data | 1492 litres | |
| Turning diameter: | 13.4 meters | 11 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Toyota Hilux is 2.4 metres more than that of the Kia Sportage, which means Toyota Hilux can be harder to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
| Power steering: | Hydraulic power steering | Electric power steering | |
| Hydraulic power steering is technologically more complex, louder, increases fuel consumption and requires more servicing. It has the advantages of more power, less strain on the car's electrical system and better feedback (feeling) when steering. | |||
