Differences in the Sportage and ix35 entry prices don't amount to much. At the top end you can buy a higher spec' Sportage.
Both cars have similar dimensions. There's only a one bag difference in luggage space with all seats up and maybe a suitcase with the rear seats down in the ix35s favour.
Engine options and their efficiency are virtually identical. There's a 2.0 petrol option with the Sportage and a 2.0 diesel 2WD with the ix35.
Petrol engine options are viable in both cars so calculate if savings on your higher mileage will cover the added cost of buying a diesel car.
Motor car insurance is a real issue in this sector with a wide range of retail prices, sizes, engine options and car insurance groups confused by insurer's offers. Fortunately there's not too much variation with these two but be very aware when comparing them with other cars in this sector. You'll probably find both provide some of the cheapest car insurance. You just need to compare as many direct online car insurance quotes as possible.
