I ordered a 2022 Tucson Hybrid back in July 2022... 5 months later, it finally arrived but had magically transformed into a 2023 Tucson Hybrid. I got the Phantom Black exterior with all black interior, and it's an absolute dream to ride in and drive... I love my Tucson.

Was certain I would buy the new Honda CRV. Stopped by Hyundai to check out the Santa Cruz. While the dealer brought up the Santa Cruz my wife and I noticed the Tucson. Really impressive. After a quick test drive, we bought the Hyundai and never regretted it. My new Hyundai is probably the nicest vehicle I’ve ever owned. Makes me smile every time I drive it.

We recently bought the 2022 Tucson AWD Limited and really love it. We had looked at both cars and it was a hard decision on which to pick. We liked the dash of the Sportage slightly better, but we liked the front end grill and lights, overall interior styling and heated rear seats of the Tucson better. What came down to the final decision was that every Kia dealership we went to wanted to charge us $4,000 above sticker price for the car, while we found a Hyundai dealership that sold us the Tucson for sticker price. $4K no-brainer. Both were really nice.

Love both but I’d say the Sportage

Glad you did this comparison. I am hoping Hyundai will listen and tweak some of the things like the fog lights and the turn signals and the knobs for the radio on later models. Otherwise I like the Tucson Limited Hybrid much more than the Kia Sportage esthetically.

Both vehicles are awesome. We own the 2022 Tucson Limited (gas). The room in the Tucson is LARGE, I am 6''5 and have head room and shoulder room. The Kia I had to lay the front seat WAY back to fit as my head touches the roof. My shoulder is up against the door. Cant believe they are the same platform, Kia dropped the ball for room, BIG TIME!

I just bought a Tucson Blue with the tow package. Dealer initially tried to add a 20% FMA ($6800). I laughed and walked out the door. Sales guy flagged me down in the parking lot and agreed to sell at the $34k MSRP. As long as they were sold at MSRP, I could’ve maybe gone with either the Hyundai or Kia, but the Blue was sitting right there with my two prerequisites (a white exterior & the factory hitch receiver w/ wiring harness and plug). And in Texas, the Sportage Hybrid is in short supply. I like that AWD is standard on the Blue trim, with 17 inch wheels, and NO sunroof ( I live in the West Texas desert, and sunroofs are useless). I also noted that Consumer Reports currently ranks Tucson as the highest-rated hybrid in its class (93) vs. Sportage (75).

I'd take the Kia Sportage for an SUV since it has physical controls and better interior compared to the Tucson.

Note that while the MSRP is slightly less, Kia dealerships in my experience have been far scummier about "market adjustments".

I am always a fan of Kia (I owned a 2017 Sorento SXP, Telluride and now Sorento PHEV), unfortunately the styling of this new Sportage had thrown me off a bit, and the confusing system combining the volume and HVAC control is just not a wise design decision by Kia.

You should’ve added 0.5 points to the Sportage for having LED turn signal lights on the back compared to Tucson’s halogen bulbs. The Sportage also has it placed at a better viewing angle for the drivers behind… also, the back on the Tucson does have heated rear seats, which the Sportage should’ve had. However, you forgot to mention that the Sportage is the only one with USB-C connectors compare to Tucson only having USB-A connectors. Which means the back should’ve been tied both at 0.5.

If your going to pay that much money she wants a better ride, and for her that was the tucson.

Great video but I feel like it's all super subjective. Compare your unique tallies below. Is the type of illumination used in the fog lamps (LED getting 0.5 point over halogen) really worth the same as real leather or rear heated seats? How often to buyers ask about fog lamp illumination technology as opposed to type of seat material? Below I've listed your unique tallies for each car and given an asterisk to those that I feel will only matter to a very small group of buyers. For example, I wouldn't want a red seat color in either car, so that half point is irrelevant. I also don't care about retractable cupholders, that's definitely fun but it's a gimmick you probably won't use much day to day, and certainly not worth a full point (half point for each cup location, I assume? More than generous to give it a half point for something so trivial, much less 1 point). For me the biggest thing is that Kia gets the bigger displays, that's the headline here and what might set it apart. The tradeoff is less premium features: no heated rear, fake leather, smaller wheels. Everything else listed is kind of a small deal. * = Isn't a significant enough feature to make or break the choice, and should be eliminated. If you take my prioritization, the Tucson actually wins by 0.5 points I believe. And note I'm not biased, I don't own either car nor do I own a Hyundai or Kia at all. Unique Sportage Points: *Red and Blue interior cabin color choices *LED fog lamps (vs Tucson halogen) Larger driver display Larger infotainment display *Foldable cupholders on center console (1 point - wow) 3D vehicle camera view $1,335 average MSRP lower Unique Tucson Points: Real leather Larger wheels 3 years complimentary maintenance *Sensors behind the door handle for unlock (Kia are visible on outside) Heated rear seats There may be other things unique to each car that I would have liked to hear about. What about seat comfort? Heated windshield? Solar and privacy glass? Suspension - they have to be tuned differently? Would recommend you guys make a checklist to standardize this comparison for the future, think about the important features to put head to head. But great video nonetheless!

We've been out trying the Hyundai Tucson AWD, Kia Sportage AWD and Ford Kuga FWD, all PHEV. Ford was the cheapest, out dates and most vibrant on the road. Kia has a better warranty in Denmark (7 years) than Hyundai (5 years). Kia can supply cars at the moment, what Hyundai can’t. Our choice was the Kia Sportage Upgrade PHEV (19” alu + heating in the rearseats).

Just purchased the Tucson convenience package and wish I had gotten the hybrid instead for the power , it just seems like the 187 bhp in the model I have could used a bit more power. Still at the end of it all I really am impressed with the overall design and quality.

I had the Kia Sportarge hybrid GT Line S for the afternoon and it was fantastic

I own a third generation Sportage that I bought new in 2013, and is still going strong with 87,000 plus miles. Always did routine maintenance at the Kia Dealership, and to this day, knock on wood, have had no issues. She still purrs like a kitten! I didn’t like the redesign of the 4th generation Sportage, however, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the 5th generation redesign of the Sportage, and the front drive SX Prestige, will be my next new vehicle!! Thank you for the Comparison to the Tucson!

The exterior of the tucson wins by a mile plus it has gorgeous wheels as compared to the sportage .. while the interior you could go either way, they are both nice in my opinion.

Don’t you think the point system should be graded on a scale? For instance.. 3 years free maintenance give Hyundai the same amount of credit as kias flop out cup holder? Although they still have equal amounts of couple holders? I’m just saying some features hold substantially more weight

I’m considering one of these.. Leaning towards Kia. Great video. TY. Btw, if your video camera can do HDR, it would sure help to keep the interior of the vehicle bright enough, while not looking all blown out (over exposed) through the windshield.

Here in Australia, kia has a few more goodies up its sleeve, such as, 7yr unlimited km warranty, the sportage also benefits from a full Australian suspension tuning as we have alot of rough country roads, our road surfaces are well known to be some the harshest in the world. Personally, I'd sooner buy another sportage, before I would consider the Tuscon, not that the Tuscon is a bad car because it's certainly not.

This is a hard one I would have to choose the Tucson there's nothing bad about the Sportage. I am not a huge fan of the front or the grill on the Sportage one thing but maybe it will grow on me. What I do not like about the Tucson is the way they set up the fully digital gauge cluster I don't like that there's nothing covering it just looks like a heads up display and it's not well integrated into the dash and I don't like that it just sticks out like a heads up display one thing I love about this the Sportage is that they're actually using knobs instead of the stupid touch-sensitive buttons that would have been nice if they were all that way but that's okay but was Hyundai thinking about making all touch-sensitive buttons on the climate control and not even know there's not even a volume knob come on hyundai

Both are great choices, can't go wrong w/ either IMO. The leather seating and a bit more upscale feel tilted us toward the Tucson. I prefer the rear tail & front grill styling w/ the Tucson but the side profile of the Sportage. Wish they offered the Tucson Limited Hybrid in a FWD model too, AWD is nice but really not needed for the driving I do. Also wish the Tucson had the larger info screens that the Sportage does, so there's give and take w/ both models. IMO if you can find a dealer that's not screwing you over MSRP, then that would seal the deal regardless of Kia or Hyundai. And for those nicking the Tucson for a few LEDs that are missing, you can change the whole set of them for less than $10 and 15 minutes of your time.

I think that 1300 price difference is more than made up for by the 3 year maintenance plans. I'm not sure if the Kia has it, but the Tucson also carries a 10 year 100k mile warranty on the electric motor and battery pack, in addition to the 10Y/100K power train warranty.

The Toyota hybrids don't use a traditional CVT. The CVT transmissions that most people complain about(and are prone to failure) are ones like Nissan and Honda use. I own a shop and have seen multiple low mileage failures from both of them. Toyota/Lexus systems are pretty much bulletproof.

Larger wheels should not win you a half a point. In my opinion they are a downgrade. You sacrifice comfort. Also bigger wheels equal more expensive tires. Why is a bigger screen more points? You can see both without an issue.

Thank you for this... I was about to post the same! I would remove one Full point for the 19" tires.

Was looking at these two and also the Honda crv and Honda Passport. Ended up getting two new Passports mainly for the reputation of Honda drive trains/extra room/6 cylinder non turbo motors and a 9 speed transmission. The Passport does lack a few things like cooled seats/360 camera and panoramic roof but at the end of the day it holds it's value much better than the Hyundai's and Kia's and has a long standing history of quality.

Have you ever owned a Hyundai or Kia? Anyway if you owned one of these vehicles for 24-36 months you'd have 2-3 years of warranty left thus not causing you to lose too much on a trade in. with the honda, it's a great vehicle - I drove the CR-V hybrid. absolute dream to drive but so is the kia. Its warranty I wish was better.

I bought the Tucson 2023 gas, and I love my car, I did a comparison with the Sportage has it was my first choice, but I went with the Tucson has it looks more elegant.

My first car was used Tucson in 2008 and I've driven brand new Tucson in 2021. I'm looking to buy Tucson again to replace my Jeep.

I would pick the Kia Sportage

Kia Sportage 2022 has been sold in Indonesia imported from Korea at an expensive price, unfortunately Hyundai Tucson hasn't arrived, I hope it can be produced CKD in Hyundai Indonesia factory same as Santa Fe , Creta, Ionic5 and Stargazer

My wife just got a wolf gray on red Sportage Prestige. Absolutely love it!

Sounds awesome!

I had a 22 Tucson sel hybrid for almost a year now I just got the sportage ex hybrid - I haven’t driven a Tucson in over 6 months but for some reason I feel like the sportage isn’t as sporty as the Tucson? Did you feel any difference with braking and handling?

Bought a Tucson and love it

So far I have to say the Kia is growing on me.

We have the Tucson! 😍

Both looks good. But currently a Kia Sportage SX Prestige hybrid out of the door price is around 47k 49k. That is an armed robbery. And dealership are don't give a damn about helping (I was able to get those OTD after pushing a lot, and I didn't get details about how that price is distributed). So I assumed 5K in markups).

Test drove both. Noisy on highway. Interiors cheaply designed..purchased mazda cx5 turbo. Fast fun car

Same!

So this weekend I was choosing one of these to buy, the tuscan is nice, but it just doesnt have the tech feel I like and the piano black everywhere made my wife feel fingerprints were going to haunt us. They are both very nice cars but the sportage won me over with the tech suite and the super big cup holders.

Still loving my 22 Tucson Hybrid AWD SEL trim whch does have radio controls and wireless android auto and the outstanding panoramic sun roof and dynamic cruise control. This ones a keeper

Prefer the Sportage appearance and the interior
