Class Leading Cargo Space

The 2025 Kia Sportage stands out as a leader in cargo space, providing an impressive 39.6 cu.ft with the rear seats up and an expansive 74.1 cu.ft when the rear seats are folded down. In comparison, the Jeep Grand Cherokee offers 37.7 cu.ft with the seats up and 70.8 cu.ft with them down, making the Sportage the clear winner when it comes to offering more space for passengers, gear, and everything else you need to carry.

2024 Volkswagen Taos

While the Volkswagen Taos attempts to compete with the 2025 Kia Sportage, it ultimately falls short in several key areas. With less cargo space, sluggish maneuverability, and a shorter manufacturer warranty, the Taos seems to fall short of the value and performance offered by the Kia Sportage. Here’s why:

Cargo Space

Volkswagen’s 2024 Taos comes with 27.9 cu.ft of cargo space with the rear seats up and 65 cu.ft Cargo with the rear seats folded down compared to the Kia Sportage offering a whopping 39.6 cu.ft of cargo space with the rear seats up and an even more impressive 74.1 cu.ft with the rear seats folded down. If you need more room for friends, family and cargo, the only option is to buy a 2025 Kia Sportage here at Raceway Kia of Freehold.

Maneuverability and Performance

Motors matter, and Volkswagen just can’t measure up this time. The Taos is described as peppy but has a taut suspension that makes it uncomfortable. Throw in its small stature, and the vehicle can feel claustrophobic. Reviews nitpick noticeable turbo lag, creating a disruptive driving experience. Kia on the other hand, believes in driving that’s as intuitive and natural as your natural pace. Don’t believe us? The 2025 Kia Sportage’s quality steering, quick motor, and comfortable interior speaks for itself!

Standard Safety Assists

In contrast to the Kia Sportage’s exceptional 5-year/60,000-mile manufacturer warranty, the Volkswagen Taos only offers a 4-year/50,000-mile warranty. This disparity not only suggests a lack of confidence in the Taos’ long-term reliability but also means VW won’t have your back if issues arise beyond the warranty period. If you’re seeking a vehicle that provides lasting peace of mind well beyond your purchase, the 2025 Kia Sportage is the ideal choice.
