The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating
6.7 Read Our Full Review	6.7 Read Our Full Review
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2020 Kia Sportage is refreshed, stylish, and competitive as ever, though its fuel economy is poor.	The 2019 Mazda CX-5 sates solo drivers with good handling and tasteful lines, but bigger families will want to move up in size.
TCC Likes
Distinctive looks Good ride, taut handling Optional turbo power	Attractive styling inside and out Poised ride Sweetly tuned steering
TCC Dislikes
Too thirsty Polarizing styling Difficult outward vision	..but also, turbo lag Frustrating infotainment setup Shy on rear-seat space volume
