Why should I also consider these?

Kia's Sportage presents itself much more confidently in a class of very strong-selling vehicles.

First, it has to get past its own corporate cousin, the Hyundai Tucson, which has an entirely different look that's more flair-focused, and which lacks the Sportage's turbo option and its UVO voice controls.

The Ford Escape is still a best seller 11 years in its current form, and has more interior space and a Hybrid model to distinguish it.

The Nissan Rogue sports interesting styling and good road manners, but its continuously variable transmission--still the best of its kind--leads to more drivetrain noise and slower responses to throttle inputs.

The Honda CR-V is new this year, and it's evolutionary change at best, with no major advances in powertrain or features.

For the most refined driving experience in this group, we recommend the Subaru Forester; it has a tall and spacious cabin, sedate good looks, and a reputation for durability, though fuel economy is much lower than the numbers generated by the non-turbo Sportage.

 
2012 Ford Escape
The 2012 Ford Escape still antes up solid crossover bona fides, but its sluggish handling and plasticky interior are ready for retirement
 
2012 Honda CR-V
The 2012 Honda CR-V is a great family vehicle, with a thoughtfully designed and comfortable interior, and improved refinement, but it lacks the confident, sprightly feel present in past CR-Vs.
 
2012 Hyundai Tucson
One of the most improved crossovers, the 2012 Hyundai Tucson has size and value in its corner.
 
2012 Nissan Rogue
The 2012 Nissan Rogue's comfortable ride and versatile layout make it a good fit for a value-conscious small families--but it's far from exciting to drive.
 
2010 Subaru Forester
The 2010 Subaru Forester may not be as powerful or well-equipped as its rivals, but it really shines in its more carlike dynamics and superior handling.
