NEW Kia Sportage vs Hyundai Tucson review - best hybrid SUV? | What Car?

[@MichaelSmith-vq6dp]

I got my Tuscon N Line S Hybrid 230 in Oct last year and I love it. Interior is great and is also comfy to drive. I do like the looks of the new Sportage and interior also looks good. Either one you go for, I think you would be happy

[@keithburns5974]

That was my choice too as I insist on a panoramic roof and I think the more sporty look of the N-Line is worth the small extra cost. Despite ordering back in mid-September, It still hasn't arrived and the suggested mid-March delivery is not filling me with confidence. (6 months!). The big selling point for me was the massive near 13% discount including Hyundai's £2250 contribution plus the 2.9% apr which brought the PCP payment with the maximum deposit of £14,000 from my 2016 Volvo XC60 part-ex gives monthly payments of just £113 pcm. Kia couldn't get anywhere near those figures. The part-ex valuations of my Volvo XC60 from both my local Hyundai and Kia dealers (same group) was £2,000 less; I had to drive 27 miles away to get the online broker discounts. The Hyundai drives and performs so much better than the XC60 2.4 Auto.

Having driven both back to back, the Sportage had a slightly smoother ride than the Tucson in my opinion. The Tucson is still decent, but I was able to feel road imperfections slightly more than in the Sportage

[@cyberathlete]

@@slkslk2042 That's all I needed to know. Thank you!

[@slkslk2042]

@cyberathlete the only caveat I'll add to that is that I drove UK spec petrol full hybrid models, with suspension setup designed for European roads, not sure if there is any difference to the non EU model. The Tucson was also on 19" rims compared with 18" on the Sportage, so that may have also affected ride quality

[@cyberathlete]

@@slkslk2042 The US model I think is pretty similar in spec to Euro, if not slightly larger. I am confident they want the ride experience to be similar and tuned for US roads like they did for Europe and Australia. I am confident KIA is gunning to be #1 in the compact SUV segment. I am considering the hybrid or PHEV models only.

Tucson, better looking and classy trim aesthetic in my view, subjective of course. I test drove both this past weekend, don’t agree with this reviewer on many aspect. Recon the Tucson would make me smile for much longer when I see her parked on the drive. Either way, both cracking cars.

[@Ricky-mo6mv]

I picked the Tucson as well within the past month. Love it! Then again, no KIAs available in my area regardless so it really wasn’t an option unless I wanted to order something without driving it. However, I think the front grill and rear lights of the Tucson are design masterpieces. Not to mention the angular design of the side that have some people bent out of shape. Despite all that, there is still something about the Sportage that makes it competitive in terms of visual appeal. However, the interior of the Sportage does absolutely nothing for me based on images I see in photos or video. I much prefer the streamline and more minimalist look of the Tucson interior.

[@zambesis]

[@petercannings8991]

I thought the same picked base model tuscon to top model Kia . I have the ultimate Tuscon . Looks nothing like the se . Not a great review

[@barnoslogik]

drove both of these cars over the last 2 days, both were the PHEV options, with approx 260BHP, the tuscon was a the premium spec with a cream leather seats setup and the sportage was the GT-line spec, with black interior, the tuscon by far was more comfortable seat wise and felt roomier, possibly an optical illusion due to the lighter coloured seaters. As a lay out of the cabin i prefered the sportage, but for a couple of things, firstly the curved screen felt a little too far away, when in my optimum driving position, so i had stretch slightly to use the very left hand button, which included the home button. secondly the fan on/off switch was on the left hand side of all the controls rather than the drivers side so again having to lean/strech slightly. to put this into prospective i'm between 5ft 10, and 5ft 11 (about 179cm) and i class my optimum driving position as my wrist balancing on the steering wheel plus i like my seat back quite vertical. so aesthetically the sportage may be better layout but practically the tuscons for me was better. On the driving side the differences were obviously minimal, both easy to drive, with that slight delay with the uptake of the gear changes and engines kicking in, but nothing i couldnt get used to, both excellent on the motorway and back roads respectively, both would give you the confidence to overtake if necessary or when joining a motorway to get up to speed etc, also extremely quiet to drive in urban/town enviroment in hybrid modes. I also extended the range of the vehicles whilst driving quite normally over a 45-50 minute road test, so guessing the previous testers maybe were a little heavier footed than even i am.

[@TheRealDiseone]

As I'm buying one of these cars, I was looking forward to this review, but sadly the review isn't very even as you use the GT-Line S for Kia (Top Spect), but Tucson is the entry level Connect, so it's not really a good comparison, you should have used the Ultimate, with the Tech pack, then you would have a much even comparison. After driving both, the Tucson wins, the dial for the automatic is far to easy to choose the wrong position, the display is beautiful on the Kia, but the switch between heating and media, gets very distracting when driving as you need to look down to check, but the biggest is the DAB on the Kia constantly cuts out, and after looking on the net and speaking to Kia this because the range topping panoramic roofs interfere with the reception, so have still got to release an upgrade to rectify this issue. It was the slowness of Kia admitting this that made me go with the Tucson, as at £40k you would expect them to make sure a stereo works decently of the assembly line.

[@lauram9616]

Having driven both, the Tucson is the winner in my eyes. Not only do I think the exterior is MUCH nicer, but I prefer the way it handles (feels nice and stable on motorways) The Sportage also feels laggier and less responsive than the Tucson

[@d4isyjo]

Same with me. Personal choice I guess but I would definitely choose the Tucson over the sportage.

[@amazoner0cks]

laggier and less responsive? both have same "suspension, gearbox, engines" It's a matter of interior and exterior design plus materials used.

[@estebanpacheco7102]

I got the top trim Tucson Hybrid. The exterior in my opinion is fantastic if you want to go away from the traditional look, the exterior lines create diverse light angles and shapes, quite exciting to look at, the grill is unique. The interior on the tucson is a modern flow, straight lines, there are some details on the Kia that I like(big screen), but I must admit once I went full digital, I cant stand the sight of knobs, big buttons, a gear stick, or obvious air vents. Both gorgeous, but I'm siding with the Tucson (reason why I picked it). The Kia 6 does presents an interesting mix, will wait to see how it evolves.

[@Ricky-mo6mv]

I chose the Tucson for all the same reasons. Amazing design inside and out. It’s a shame they changed the interior for 2025.

This is not accurate, the hybrid does not use a CVT transmission, its a traditional torque converter 6-speed automatic.

[@italianjob4947]

It's not a torque converter either! It's a dual clutch gearbox.

@@italianjob4947not in the hybrid it isn’t.

[@italianjob4947]

@@davel9359 Yes it is, I've got one.

Hello, Did you notice if the Tucson stayed in ELECTRIC mode for the first 30 miles? I hear that the Santa Fe PHEV rarely stayed in electric mode and behaved more like a standard hybrid car where the internal combustion engine would kick in very often. I enjoyed watching your review.

[@ramonschliszka6332]

1st! Finally a compare video with the Sportage. Please do one against the RAV4.

[@MrTengre]

I am biased, but I think there is no comparison between the 2 . The interior in the RAV looks so much like the 2016 , the only plus I would say is the exterior design and better fuel consumption .

[@newleaf21]

The Sportage (picked mine up last week)

[@LaytonMechaley]

Great video man! Color grading is crazy too, top tier content

[@Funkydood]

KIA Sportage, hands down!!!! BTW, Hyundai is pronounced like "Sunday".

[@capngeo2002]

Mechanically they are the same car. Only differences are cosmetic.

[@JessieS]

What color is the sportage?

[@cheg753]

The Kia! The older Tucson was pretty. I don’t like the new look. It just looks odd to me.

[@GodSaveThePhilippines0821]

One of the best reviewers bar none!

[@wolvoman1]

If your head is not touching the headlining, ''but is not far off'' what is the problem ?

[@rolandojose9369]

Tucson is the best ❤️❤️❤️

[@minniesaab7255]

I'll take KIA this time 😉

[@TazBo-wd2ig]

Which is cheaper in insure that’s the question

[@mariosdemosthenousdemosthe8159]

You should compare with N-line version to be more accurate with compare.

[@josepinaserrano1853]

Both are awesome, but I think I would go for KIA

[@originalmace]

Should really have compared Sportage GT Line S vs Tucson N Line S for a fair comparison 🥸

[@Leviathan009]

Exterior=Tucson Interior= Sportage

[@bayramgok8035]
