[@glennkneebone123]

I ordered both the Tucson Hybrid and Sportage HEV. Sportage came in first. Long, good history with Hyundai so it was a change. Can’t go wrong with either but here is my list of things to consider between them. Limited vs. Sx-Prestige. You don’t get the digital card key and phone key, heated rear seats, leather, or complementary maintenance with Sportage. You don’t get fog lights, spare tire, LED rear turn signals, LED backup light, or the larger curved screens in the Tucson. The Sportage gets better mileage due to smaller wheels and a softer ride with the larger sidewall. I do get 38 mpg city usually. Over 10,000 miles in 7 months, I got 35.6 mpg mixed with 80 mph Montana roads not helping. The synthetic leather on the Kia is really quite good. Honestly better than the Hyundai leather as much as I thought it would not be. Also holding up better with no creasing like I usually get with real leather. The Kia is cheaper but the complimentary maintenance makes the difference a wash. The Kia connectivity is less costly than the BlueLink once the complimentary period is over. You get three years free with Hyundai, one year from Kia. There is a small front skid plate available for the Kia. None for the Tucson. Good for those ice chunks on the road and early clearance warning. Not for off roading as it doesn’t cover much. The ambient lighting in the Tucson is in the door bins and center console and is more of a soft flood light. The Sportage is a light pipe on the passenger side dash and the center console. The cargo light is LED in the Sportage but not the Tucson. The gloss black center console in the Sportage can be easily covered with a cover sold on Amazon. Looks near factory. Can’t cover the Tucson. More storage nooks in the Tucson but the Kia has the cup holders that are retractable for good storage. Can fit a big water bottle or a big sub sandwich if you have no drinks! Not so in the Tucson. The Tucson has the ultrasonic occupant sensor that presumably supplements the security system. Finally, two things that nobody points out. The Hyundai has a center airbag between the front seats to prevent head knocking I guess. That isn’t present in the Kia. The Kia has a nifty dynamic instrument display that syncs with the weather and time so you get sunrises, sunsets, sunny skies, thunderstorms, snow, etc in the dash. Gimmicky but everybody loves it. Again- can’t go wrong with either. But hopefully this helps if those differences matter to you.

[@ochar4633]

Fantastic information! I'm sure it is not available anywhere. One question, Which one stays on Battery power longest?

[@triforce_shadow]

Great info. My wife has the Sportage and I have the Tucson. Only thing I will add is I do believe if you buy a Hyundai brand new from the dealer, you get BlueLink+ which includes Basic and Advanced for the entire time you own the vehicle. The Map and Multimedia OTA update subscription is the only thing that is for 3 years. I believe this was a change for the 24s and up and Ionic 6 and up.

The way you guys discuss and give individual reviews, really liked it. Good Job!

[@PickensDon]

Haha I literally just took delivery on this exact vehicle yesterday! I’m in Puerto Vallarta and only one hybrid version is available- took 6 months to get! Coming off a 2020 Escape Titanium turbo 2.0. The Escape has a few more tech features I will miss: the open sesame tailgate, remote start, auto park, memory seats and keyless entry. They are both fast, but the Tucson’s ride, interior quality and quietness are much better. The volume knob doesn’t bother me as I use the steering wheel control. In Mexico we get a spare tire (yeah!). A neat trick you haven’t mentioned: the 12 volt battery override if your battery dies it will start with the hybrid battery. We only get a basic 6 speaker stereo but with the quiet cabin it sounds pretty good. Interesting that everything is automatic: no EV-only or Regen brake controls but that’s fine! It all just works in the background. Here the CRV and Escape are $2500-5000 USD more and Toyotas bore me. Today’s my first day driving it so I’ll update this later. Yes we get black cladding. Now if only they could make more hybrids so they are easier to get and bring us the plug-in! You two are great keep up the good work. And here the Spanish speakers do say Took-son! Update: the a/c kills mpg from 37 to 30. Try without hvac and you’ll Get the 37 and more I have actually squeaked out 50! Would like an EV button for max efficiency. This car has a weird thing where if you have the key in your pocket and walk behind the locked car the hatch opens. Every time I go to walk the dogs it’s an issue, so that needs addressing and the dogs set off the rear seat warning so I buckled those seat belts. Overall very happy with my choice.

Purchased a new 2023 Tucson Hybrid Ultimate earlier this year. I do like the look of this new N-Line Hybrid but I'm also happy that my Ultimate has a few extra features like ventilated seats. The Sportage was #1 on our list as we preferred the interior but it just wasn't available when I was in the market. I have averaged 6.3 L/100 km. Best tank was 5.9 and worst was 7.7.

[@gordlockwood1213]

Thanks for the videos! I love your consistent fomat and honest appraisals. I am looking for a hybrid SUV and have watched all your videos. I have narrowed the field down to 3 which is, unfortunately, partly the result of availability. When you lose your car due to it being totaled, you can't wait 8 to 12 months for a new car.

[@bho6486]

I really like the looks of the Tucson Hybrid and the cutting edge tech that Hyudai/Kia use. In the end, we went with the Toyota Venza for the better gas mileage. We just drove around 1,000 Km (around 600 miles) today on our winter trip down to Orange County, CA and averaged just over 43 mpg (5.38 L/100 Km). Over the 2 years of ownership, we are averaging 5.8 L/100 km (41 mpg). We really love our Venza but a quieter interior is appealing when driving on the highway. Would like to test the Tucson to see the difference in sound.

[@benvanmil6761]

Great car for sure, I just can not unsee one thing when I see the front in the dark but regardless it is great driving!

[@sflscott11]

Low bumper turn signals cant be seen by vehicles following the vehicle directly behind the Tuscon. If you are driving properly, you[re looking ahead and would wnat that extra visibility of what is going on ahead of you. However, here in Florida its a mute point, turn signals arent used!

[@TracySwenson]

We took a year off from car shopping and are back in the market. Really leaning Kia Sportage or possibly the Sorento for more rear storage space (dogs). Do you happen to compare the two in any of your work? Hybrid is most likely the model type too. Thanks, love watching you two.

[@Shahzadafamily]

I currently have a 2017 Tucson and the way the 2022 Tucson interior is with the piano black and touch buttons etc made me look more at Sportage or Rav4 but the new updates have changed all that and look so much better hopefully we will get the options for the power side mirrors and HUD in Canada.

[@richardludvigh5575]

What do people have with the touch screen vs knob for volume buttons ? I have never used neither of those anyway ... your steering wheel has the damn controls ...

[@hugdeath929]

Looked at the Sportage and Tucson recently and they both appear to be strong value prospects. I feel like I could live with either. I like the nose of the Sportage, the side of the Tucson and the rear of both. I’ll need to look at the interior of the Sportage again to see if I have a preference there. Am I correct in thinking that there is a key difference between the two because the smart park system is not available on the Kia. Is Hyundai offering free scheduled maintenance for the early life of the vehicle? We drove the ICE engine Tucson before driving the hybrid variant and there was a marked difference in passing power and confidence. Im not phased at all by the lack of a volume or tuning knob. In my last 4-5 vehicles I’ve used the steering wheel controls to adjust volume and cycle through preset channels. That allows me to focus on the road even more. Thanks for your review. Once we decided to take a look at some new vehicles I couldn’t wait to hop online and see what you guys have thought about them.

[@mannythegoodguy]

Lack cladding on any vehicle is no go. Missing buttons are also no go. But just plain hybrid is fantastic.

[@nealjohnson5059]

This thing about the turn signals make me laugh...Zack stated the purpose...I remember in the 5 hr course in the US it said to keep that distance...New car with have safety technologies that would keep that distance as well. The mud and snow on concern is no difference that you cleaning your headlights off throughly. There are some people in rush and fail to clean their vehicles off completely...especially the roof...Awesome review as usual. 😉

Just to clarify for all viewers. You said 7 litres per 100 km. In imperial figures that is actually 40 mpg the 34 you mention would be US figures as their gallon is smaller. I think it confuses listeners. Just my take. Keep up the great videos

I had the 2022 hybrid SEL and I manage to do 42 mpg but whit a little humming whit I did whit the battery use and that’s making the car going into ECO Mode while is going a slow speed but obviously the battery will ran out but when it does I change into sport mode and put it on manual and run it in 3rd gear at 40 mph and the battery will charge faster whit out braking at all. Other thing is trying to rev quite higher just a pinch just to raise the needle and then release it and the car whit go into eco mode

[@barryw9203]

I switched my order for the Tucson PHEV to HEV because of postings (with pictures) showing that you can get a full size 19 inch spare tire in the wheel well under the floor mat. And I never use the volume knob on my Sonata - use the conrod on the steering wheel - will do the same with the Tucson

I've owned the Kia SXP Hybrid since June of last year. I love the car BUT the mpg is just not even close to 38 mpg if you do a lot of highway driving. It's even worse in the winter! For example last night I did my weekly 80 mile drive and it was 32 degrees out and I was doing about 80 mph - and only got 23 mpg.

How litter change oil

[@pomerau]

There is a widespread problem with turn signal / indicator light placement in general, imv, and in this instance I for once courteously disagree with the argument given / scenario mentioned. (I am only familiar with vehicles available in European markets and should think with some countries, ahem, using red lighting and not the more prominant amber turn lighting here in the UK this makes matters slightly worse from the rear) Higher placed rear indicators enable vehicles not immediately behind to see beyond the front following car's bodywork, through the glass area or more clearly from the sides that the first vehicle intends to turn off and eventually slow to a stop on a main road. Otherwise traffic following will not expect the second car to slow and stop for no reason. (am I making sense? I'm only driving a keyboard at the moment). My pet peeve is inboard placement of our amber coloured indicators on many cars, particularly on the front where you have a dipped beam / DRL enabled car ahead approaching yours at a junction and suddenly moving toward the centre line when you may finally notice they had their turn indicator on the whole time as you swerve abreast of them. Rear inboard indicators are almost equally as bad, and remove the instinctive reactions we've had to indications for many decades. Of course, this slightly encourages the decline, or inclination not to use indicators at all and the aggressive, dangerous, "you get out of MY way or else ..." attitude that is pervading. Don't ask me to remember which models are the worst in terms of light

[@user-qq1nx7zh7z]

Hi you two. I bought the Tucson HEV Limited trim in the US for my birthday. The major reason was due to your reviews. Although I’m enjoying it, I am NOT getting the EPA estimate. I read some online Tucson forums that informs me there is a “break in” period of 3,000 miles in which the mpg would get better. Have you or annyone else ever heard of that?

[@wyw201]

Try adjusting your driving style. The less the turbo spools up the higher the mpg. Use regen braking for downhill segments.

[@wolfshanze5980]

I have the 2023 Tucson Hybrid for about a year now... officially its rated 37mpg. Now, I'm no grandma, and I'm no NASCAR racer, but I am closer to NASCAR than Grandma in my driving style... it all boils down to how fast you accelerate and how often you get the Turbo sucking gas. For the first 6 months I probably averaged 32mpg, then without changing driving habits it did slowly get to around 34-35mpg, which is what i get now. If you accelerate slowly I'm sure you can get 37mpg, but I didn't get the Turbo to drive like a grandma. I have averaged 37mpg or even higher when I baby it, but thats not me... I'm fine with 35mpg, it's more than I'd get with an ICE. I'd say mileage does improve after break-in... but more like 6 months, not 3.

There's no fire Hazards with the current Tucson. The only recent fire Hazard recalls revolved around a faulty wiring harness for certain tow hitches (I believe the Palisade was effected, not the Tucson)... but mind you, thst was the wiring harness for the tow hitch, which is only something to worry about if you get the tow hitch, and easily fixed if you did.

People like you are just internet trolls looking for something to stir up, because you can't get anything substantial to complain about to back up your pre-conceived prejudice and lack of knowledge... If you want to do ACTUAL research, why not check out the COUNTLESS professional independent car reviews that all LOVE the Tucson and all agree Hyundai has come a LONG way in reliability and are besting the competition... oh but that wouldn't go along with your pea-brained notion all Hyndai's catch on fire... stupid is stupid, and you just can't be saved from yourself. Your in the minority pal, and reality has left without you.

I want people design car that feel proud to drive. Like Toyoto Supra 1998.

So glad the cladding is gone … I really hated it… and I’d rather have wired Apple CarPlay if it means I can have navigation. I don’t like these rims… five or 6 spoke would be so much nicer but I could use these as winters :) LOL

Wow $43K for the base hybrid version! I remember when it first came out few yrs ago the base hybrid (luxury) was only $38K. Huge jump in price! No wonder it can’t beat RAV4 hybrid aside from the fuel economy, the RAV4 hybrid (LE) has a lower starting price!

[@kizo172]

Rav4 hybrid LE is literally a JUNK. Have you ever imagined a hybrid car starting with an actual physical key? 😂 yeah Toyotas are so cheap thats surprising

[@kubi0461]

There is one difference between Tucson and sportage, the awd system. Sportage’s awd is more basic like a rav4 while Tucson’s htrac is a bit more active and aggressive with shifting power around. At least based on reading comparisons about each system. I rented a 22 regular Tucson. It’s strength is being a jack of most trades and being quite good at all of them. Very efficient use of space and feels huge inside for both people and cargo. And it’s simply pleasant to ride/drive. I only fear the dealers which I’ve heard bad things about fairly often. Lack of interesting color options can be a bit of a bummer. I think it’s white, black, grey, gray, blue, and red.

The Hybrid is a steal. If you do a lot of highway driving, you can get between 35-40 mpg easily. Sure it becomes a low key speed machine with sport mode on, but this is a car that rewards careful acceleration. It's just a scooch too firm for my tastes. The Santa Fe is better in that regard. Both hybrids are extremely solid options.

[@ishaansaral502]

Yeah CarExpert did a video on AWD systems for many CUVs, and the Tucson passed where the Sportage failed.

​@@MaGiKRat420 Thank you for your comment It really helps 👏

[@flat-out]

I wanted to get this new Tucson I like the dash area but I chose the CX-5 GT Reserve and could never be more happy it's prettier. The handling and power is fantastic I was giggling how fun it was when I test drove it.

Pricing is going up up up😢

Andrea! wow...

[@flarearrow9808]

Turn signals on the bumper corners is a "no no" for me..... In parallel parking situations where the vehicle parked behind you is exiting their parking spot, the corner of the bumper is proned to getting tapped, damaging the turn signals.

[@jprusso224]

I'm not sure I get why people might be complaining about hvac buttons. In both my cars, I've set it at 22 all around and never touched it again! So why the complaints? When I got the Lexus LC500, people were b!tching about the heated seats/steering wheel buttons being hidden in the dreadful touchpad-controlled infotainment. Well... with Lexus, you activate the "concierge" and it takes care of everything to keep you comfortable. Heated, steering, heated seats, everything. So again there... set it at 22 and never went into the climate menu again!
