Pros
Distinctive styling
Great ride and handling
Optional turbo power
Quality feel inside
Stellar infotainment

Cons
Lousy fuel economy
Styling not for everyone
So-so visibility
Limited configurability

The 2018 Kia Sportage ranked #4 in Compact SUVs. Currently the Kia Sportage has a score of 8.6 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 22 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Premium interior
Two rows of spacious seats
Agile handling and smooth ride
Excellent warranty and predicted reliability rating

Cons
Unimpressive engines
Below-average fuel economy
Smaller cargo hold than rivals

By: 
usnews.com

The Sportage stands pat with its unmistakable front-end styling and steadfast powertrain duo for 2018. Instead of changing those, Kia has extended some of its active safety features to lower trims, upgraded several standard features, and reshuffled the contents of option packages.

Pros
Audi-like interior,
long list of features,
speedy turbo engine.

Cons
Poor fuel economy,
limited cargo space,
love-it-or-hate-it styling.

The 2018 Jaguar F-Pace ranked #4 in Luxury Compact SUVs. Currently the Jaguar F-Pace has a score of 8.6 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 21 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Sports-car-like handling
Comfortably seats five adults
Extra-large cargo hold
Fuel-efficient optional turbodiesel engine

Cons
Minor irritations with the infotainment system
Optional turbodiesel engine is sluggish off the line

By:

Jaguar adds a third engine option for the 2018 F-Pace. A 247-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine is the new engine for the base model. A more powerful 296-hp version is also new and arrives midway through the model year. It replaces the 340-hp version of the supercharged V6.

PROS
Available supercharged V6 delivers quick and powerful acceleration
Bigger cargo space than many rivals
Handles and brakes like a sport sedan
Fuel-efficient diesel option gets 29 mpg combined

CONS
More road and wind noise in the cabin than competitors
The larger the wheels, the poorer the ride comfort
Mediocre infotainment system with clunky smartphone integration
Interior materials feel cheap for a luxury SUV at this price

The 2018 Jaguar F-Pace is a statement of style over sedans. It looks like it belongs, which we suppose is the point.

Pros
Great road manners and sporty feel
Variety of engine and trim choices
Attractive styling
Widescreen infotainment unit

Cons
Safety features and rearview camera are added-cost options
Interior too dark and plain in some colors
Ride can be harsh in larger wheel size configurations
