The popularity of crossover SUVs is at an all-time high in America, thanks in no small part to high-quality imports like the Mazda CX-5 and Kia Sportage. Each is able to give you stellar and beautiful style, bright and adrenaline-laced performance, and enough tech capacity to keep you in tune to everything going on in your life. Because of this, they’re both worthy choices for you if you’re in search of the best that the American market has to offer. Still, we want to help you discover even more about these two leaders.
