iX35/Sportage ride comparison

I understand that these two cars are basically the same underneath. However, in the review of the Kia you comment that the ride could be better and that it is noisy at speed. Does this also apply to the Hyundai? Is there any discerneable difference between the two in terms of dynamics?

Depends on the tyres. The bigger the wheels and the lower the profile the tyres the worse the ride will be.
