I have the Sportage Hybrid. My last two cars were Toyotas. Honestly, compared to Toyotas the Sportage DOESN'T seem outdated . I did not intend to buy a KIA . However , when I drove it I absolutely loved it. My friends were saying " they are junk don't buy one". They are definitely not junk. All of them that called them junk that have rode in my Sportage were surprised at how nice it drives . I love my Sportage. I think it's beautiful. The Tucson looks really nice too. I am still happy with my choice .

Another great video so thank you. I’m on the verge of choosing my next car having driven VW Touran model for over 15 years. I was 99.9% certain it will be the Sportage but now I’ve seen this video it’s making me have a rethink. The main deal breaker for me would be the outdated indicator / turn signal of the Tucson in its low position on the bumper as in the UK tailgating is a real thing and trying to turn that light won’t be visible. I wish the Tuscon had the higher indicator like the Sportage, then it would be the best. Thanks

Great review. Love the look, updates to exterior and especially the interior, tech, ride, handling, price etc. However, the only thing I would change is to 1. raise the turn signals at the back HIGHER, closer to the light bar and 2. a minor detail but the key fob looks like it's from the 80's. The Kia key fob looks WAY better. Small detail, but I'm surprised Hyundai didn't do a better job with the key fob design. Otherwise, it's a home run imo..

I just bought a 2024 Tucson in the UAE. This is as of May 2024, as we will get the 2025 model here only by Nov 2024. I love the Tucson, I think it looks wayy better than Sportage, & since the hybrid model doesnt come in the top trim here, I went with the 2.5L Petrol top trim. Im loving all the features of the Tucson & it feels like an amazing premium experience driving it. Somehow I didnt even get a test drive on the Sportage, but i did test drive the CX5 & Forester. If the CX5 had more space in the back & the boot, I probably would've bought that even though it was more expensive by about $3000 for the highest trim. But finally, i found the max value for money in the Tucson 2.5L so i bought it. The CX50 isn't available here.

I have a kia sportage hybrid 2023. Its a great car except a few things. 1 - when coming to a near complete stop, there is a second lag before i can move forward again or i have to completely stop and sit for a split second. 2 - the center console is great but the curvy cup holder on one side can be flattened out. 3 - the auto liftgate opener is a little annoying. If you get out of the car and stand near the back it attempts to open. If you stand there intentionally wanting to auto open it takes too long. No win situation, i do prefer the foot kick sensor in cars. I see number 2,3 exists. Wonder if they addressed 1

Yea my friend I like Kia cars a lot, see them all over the road here in US. But I’m on my 3rd Hyundai, a 2019 Tucson Ultimate (US-spec). I went and looked at the Sportage and thought about trading in. But I saw Sorrento and I liked that better. But now New Santa Fe is out and I think the design is a Masterpiece, so I now want a Santa Fe. But when I go to the dealer I’ll decide between Tucson HEV or Santa Fe HEV. There both great cars so idk, We will see which one I prefer when I test drive!…Thanks for your incredible reviews of Hyundai/Kia & Genesis vehicles. You’re one of my fav’my friend! 😉

How long and fast can tucson hybrid go only on electric power? Can you somehow turn EV mode on and force it to go on electric power until battery is empty, or it would start gas engine over some speed or after some time? For example, I have part on my work->home journey where there is a bridge ~2 km long where I rarely can go over 30 km/h. Can I tell him to use only electric and not to trn gas engine?

@CarSceneKorea Ай бұрын

Simply put, no, you cannot manually control the EV mode. The car does everything on its own and it's dependent on its surrounding and condition of the car, etc. One thing I can tell you for certain is that it'd be very difficult to drain the battery lower than 50% The car actively charges the battery once it hits around 50% Think the car will use more EV modes when weather is fit for EVs.

Does the 2025 Tucson Hybrid have a dash cam>. If it does not, can a third party dash cam be installed. I don't see the MPH in the navigation (the icon telling you how fast you can travel in different areas. Does Navigation tell you when you arrive at your destination if your location is on the left or the right, I have purchased a 2005, 2012, 2020 & 2023. The 2023 is a hybrid and is the current vehicle that I have. I cant use a dash cam because it runs down my battery if I do not drive the vehicle for 2 to 3 days. Will 2025 have a dash cam. When I owned the 2005, it had a lock on the glove box. I comment and said that the same key was used for the ignition and the glove box, which made it a useless feature. When you go to a parking garage and the attendant parks your car, he not only needs the key. to park your vehicle, but also has the key to the glovebox (useless). Instead of having a separate key, they eliminated the key. The tire area, in the rear, the glove box. and center console would have a way of locking these area so the attendant cannot open them and remove your personal property.

@janvink9520 Ай бұрын

Over the past 1,5yrs I've grown towards choosing a Sportage as a new company car(choice still to be made). I liked it more than the Tuscon, design wise and interior(I didn't like all the folds in the door panels and the front end. Also liked the dashboard of the Sportage more). But seeing a facelifted Tuscon, especially the N-line, with the new front and interior, I might just go for the Tuscon. Especially in White, with a black roof. Regards from The Netherlands.

@CarSceneKorea Ай бұрын

Thanks for sharing! N-Line indeed is a great looking version, makes Tucson's design stand out even more!

I have the non face-lift tucson. The sportage was 4-5 thousand euros more expensive at the same level of trim in my country (Romania), which is why I went with the tuxon.

Regarding the flashing device, it is not a matter of light but a matter of cost. At C$47,000.00, I estimate that LED lights are a minimum. Especially in 2024.

@MichalSzul Ай бұрын

I got Sportage as pre facelift Tucson interior was not my taste and matrix led was available in Sportage and not in Tucson. Also exterior design of Sportage is more attractive to me. With Tucson facelift it would be tougher choice as interior is nicer and the HUD but still I like the exterior looks better in Sportage European version.

Owner of a Sportage hev here. The European version comes with matrix lights which automatically adjust and “protect” the other cars in traffic. Unless the Tucson is using digital leds lights (the new generation) I don’t think it is a difference to the ones from the Sportage. I am not sure if all the markets receive these headlights from the sportage though.

Being between the Sportage and Tucson FL right now... Sportage was my first choice before the Tucson fl but now i think im going for the Tucson. Firstly for the updated interior. Love that new design with the space due to the shifter being on the steering wheel. Also IFS, HUD, the new cleaner screen and the software, more buttons for controls instead of the captive buttons in the Sportage makes me choosing the Tucson. Love the look of the Sportage more though 😅. Of course the sportage facelift is around the corner... Will be for sure astounding if they do something similar to the interior. Thanks for all the videos very informative and thorough.

Though I prefer the current iteration of the Tucson interior from a design perspective, I also like the capacitive buttons for the sleek look and there as there are no crevices to collect dust or dirt. Either way, I think the new look is still cleaner than the Sportage and has a few functional advantages. The Tucson outsells the Sportage here in the US, but it will even more so now.

I've been eyeballing both of these cars too see which one I'd want to get as my next car. I love the upgrades that the Tucson Hybrid got for 2025 but I've always loved how the Sportage looks with their boomerang headlights. Do you have any idea on when their face lift might happen for the Kia Sportage? I'd love to have the interior upgrades from the Tucson also implemented in the Sportage.

We will definitely see the goodies that Tucson Facelift's got on Sportage Facelift as well. Also, Sportage FL under camo spotted in Korea confirms that it will have the latest family front look of Kia, that rotated L shaped DRLs on the front, not sure about the rear though.

There is no discount here for the 2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid SX Prestige - Dealerships marking them up $3k over MSRP (total ~ $43k) here in the south (US) due to their limited availability and high demand.

Thankyou for making videos that go into details and subjective comparisons that none of the other Consumer Education Auto Assessment Experts delve in to. The only thing I need to know now, before choosing a 2025 Tucson Hybrid, or a Sportage Hybrid this fall, is which of the two is the most comfortable for driver and passenger on long (+500 mile) trips. Under butt and thigh cushioning is most important for long trips when you're over age 50. If the 2025 Santa Fe receives a better looking back end, I'll get that hybrid. I have a 2020 Santa Fe now. 115,000 miles and starting to burn oil....like my 2015 Sonata did after 100,000 miles. Hopefully the Hybrids will not have that "problem".

@CarSceneKorea Ай бұрын

Between Tucson and Sportage, I'd say there isn't much difference. However, all-new Santa Fe? I'd go with SF any time. The all-new SF came out real nice, the gap bw Tucson and SF is quite big in my opinion.

Hello dude! First of all, thanks for those videos that's getting really helpful for me, especially when it comes to deciding among those two brands. I'm living in South America, and we are literally getting almost 2 years old models as the latest just because of the consumer level not being that demandant as well as the country itself being under-developed. So given that, I would ask your opinion about which brand's engine would you recommend considering models [of both brands] of 2 years back. I'm not mentioning any specific model to avoid the channel and the community getting any kind of problem.

@CarSceneKorea Ай бұрын

Glad you find my video helpful :) You CAN drop any comment you'd like on my channel, you won't get me into any kind of problem, so no worries. They share the same engine and powertrain as far as models here in Korea are concerned, which I believe is the similar case around the world. As mentioned in the video, it really boils down to your personal preference, but I'd definitely give the Tucson a try if you can get your hands on it.

A facelift, all-new will always be better than the previous model. I mean, it's their primary goal, right? It is worth the wait, does the discount compensate the difference? Boils down to your taste and personal preference, decisions, decisions. I'd go with the facelift on this for sure though.

My question is: the 1.6L Turbo-GDI Hybrid Engine with 6-Speed Automatic that much more powerful & efficient THAN the 2.5L GDI/MPI 4-cylinder engine with 8-Speed Automatic?? Without the electric motor there's already less power on the 6 speed. And on the highway, I hit 35 MPG with my gas tuscon. So its very close huh?

No doubt the 2.5 is stronger, but the combination of the motor and 1.6T work flawlessly, makes you feel like you are driving much more powerful(responsive) car.

Great video, Thank you. However, I do have a few questions even tho it might sound strange to some ppl. 1. Could you PLEASE PLEASE let me know in detail (perhaps a separate video if it's easier) the AC HAVC system performance between the two vehicles, from cooling, blower fan output and temperature, Max/recirculating AC performance, Cooling Seat temperature drop and air flow from the time you turn it on(Cooling seats are offered on Kia Sportage hybrid "SX-Prestige" and Hyundai Tucson Hybrid "Limited" models which are the 2 models I'm interested in)....etc? (please keep in mind I'm in a very hot climate area and AC cooling/performance is extremely important) 2. The 2024 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid LIMITED model does NOT come with USB-C plugs, instead it comes with a few regular USB plugs. On the other hand, 2024 KIA Sportage SX-Prestige comes with a few USB-C plugs. Does 2025 Hyundai Tucson LIMITED offer USB-C with their new interior technology changes or still come with regular USB plugs? 3. Did you happen to test or monitor the MPG fuel usage between these two 2025 vehicles by any chance on different mode driving? If yes, which of the two got a better MPG? (I believe for 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited(or possibly all Tucson Hybrid trim models), Hyundai has changed the battery output delivery compared to their 2024 Tucson Hybrid models, which MIGHT help the MPG fuel usage overall performance on this 2025 Tucson Hybrid, of course I'm not 100% sure. I know Hyundai did NOT change the battery size or anything, just the way it delivers the electric power which could help MPG usage). 4. 2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid SX-Prestige offers a 360-viewing angle of the car, however 2024 Hyundai Tucson Limited does NOT offer the 360-viewing even tho it has cameras all around the vehicle like Kia Sportage does. Does 2025 Hyundai Tucson Limited with their new interior technology design offer 360-viewing now, or still doesn't? 5. I know you mentioned BOTH of these 2025 vehicles are very quiet on the inside. My question is, which of these two 2025 models do you think is quieter if you would test them with a sound noise measuring device? Thank you
