Kia Sportage or Subaru XV?

Asked by Chris Burns

I'm looking at the top of the range Kia Sportage and the top of the range Subaru XV for work. I travel 50,000 km per year. What would be better suited?

Both would be well suited on the basis of what you have told us. The top Sportage is more expensive than the top XV, but it’s more economical, the service intervals are a little longer, and it comes with a 7-year warranty compared to the XV’s 3-year deal. If you planned to keep the car for a number of years I would suggest the Sportage is the better choice, but if you turn your cars over regularly I would probably go for the XV.
