When it comes to tiny crossover SUVs, the Toyota RAV4 was an early frontrunner.

However, it now has to contend with cars like the Kia Sportage, which provide strong competition.

When comparing the 2023 Toyota RAV4 with the 2023 Kia Sportage, the RAV4 Prime plug-in hybrid (PHEV) is a significant advantage for the RAV4.

It outperforms the Sportage in terms of efficiency and speed.
