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

Pick up my Kia Sportage Gt Line S on 1st of March, 1.6 turbo petrol hybrid, 230hp! Test drove same spec and engine was very happy with it

I am very proud that Kia Sportage is made in Slovakia 🇸🇰 but i am absolutely in love with my 2021 Tucson Premium+ Hybrid 230HP with leather seats. But if u choose one of these two cars u can not make mistake 👏

Wow the Sportage has such a nice interior.

The gearbox is not CVT, but 6AT

Test both. Tucson is premium model and Sportage is middle. Material inside is better quality in Tucson. Price is almost same....Kia is 600 eur cheaper then Tucson in same level of equipment. My choise is Tucson.

+Tucson. Together with my wife we agreed that Tucson is more spacious, especially on the rear seat...

Very happy Tucson HEV premium 230hp owner , since 5 months ago. A really impressive car, very pleased with the purchase. I like it more outside than Sportage but I do admit Sportage interior is a bit nicer.

I'd go for the Kia if I had the money for a new car. Much better than anything else on offer atm

You can’t go wrong with either but I pick the Hyundai because it just looks more posh inside and outside

The Kia is the one I like because of its interior and dashboard and warranty

I couldn't find a Tucson to test drive or buy without a lengthy wait. Went for the Sportage HEV in 4 Trim instead, can't wait.

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.

I really love the rebranding of Kia its looks so minimalist and almost electrical. I love the sportage interios and screen.

I'd choose the Tucson.

Looked at the EV6 which i really like, I test drove both the EV6 and the Sportage, found it difficult to choose so went with the wifes choice and placed an order for the Sportage PHEV as we both liked the high riding position, the technology, AWD and the technology is very close to the EV6. I currently drive an Outlander PHEV.

I have ordered Sportage after testing also Tucson.

If hydai exterior and Kia interior I will buy one

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.

Has to be the Tucson ! Hands down.

That Tucson has killer looks. So hot 🔥

one really small thing that might be nitpicky that i noticed when i checked both is that when you rest your elbow on the center console while you operate the screen or ac, the tucson will release the console because the release button is on the top, right where your elbow rests. the sportage release is on the bottom so it’s not an issue.

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.

Tucson for exterior and interior for me hands down...

Even in the Mercedes GLAs and GLBs you find a lot of hard plastic (even in higher trims) so KIA and Hyundai do not really have to fear anything in terms of quality

Why did you not put the GT line against the N line as the set up is better in the N

Both are nice but I like the Tucson more

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.

We have 2 Sportage’s and love them. Looked at the Tucson but liked Sportage more. The price was even better. KIA all the way!!

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

I signed yesterday for my Kia Sportage. Looking forward it. Like the interior and the exterior more thant te Tucson

Just ordered the Kia Sportage Gt Line Plug-in hybrid in experience green and black. Delivery in april.

THIS was the review I was waiting for. Looks (Front): Tucson Looks (Side): KIA (Tucson has too much geometry going on for my liking AND the plastic around the wheels needs to be matching paint to the body. The wide black plastic trim looks hideous) Looks (Rear): Tie Looks (Interior): KIA Technology: Tie Ride Responsiveness: KIA (based on the video review here) Ride Comfort: What Car? you tell me, this is the deciding factor for which car I ultimately buy as I want something quiet and comfortable, especially over longer drives on the highway. Thank you!

Why not have both range topping models as a comparison.

Just ordered a Tucson N Line in Shadow Grey but not arriving until August.

just bought my sportage. the interior beats the tucson. it looks like a mercedes. love it. the exterior actually liked more the tucson but after a big deal of though end up choosing the 7 year warranty and a finer dashboard.

The Tucson looks so much better but the plug in isn’t available in my state :(

Can you please include metric system units because i get distracted trying to listen to you and going through math conversions, overall good stuff.

Are the engine, gearbox for both cars same?

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

Very helpful thank you

Thanks for this..I am impressed with the Kia..but more impressed with your yellow jacket..it Rock's mate.. Love to know where you got it...

What do you think betwen the Tucson, Sportage and the new qashqai epower ? What do you prefer

Can have a group test for best Hybrid family SUV, non plug in, please.

I just bought the Tucson Hybrid, in terms of warranty here in Portugal they both offer 7 Years with no limit on Kms so no change there. In termos of driving I did love the Tucson and I'm surprised you didn't mention the Sport mode driving vs the Eco mode driving. They do offer a different feel to the car.

Both these cars are nice, family suvs so dont need to perform or accelerate like sports cars, id have any of the two to be honest, both look as good on the outside, but interior looks a bit better in the Sportage but the tucson has slightly bigger boot, so be very hard choice between the two for me, id end up flipping a coin to choose for me 😂

Should have included the n-line version of the tucson - looks so much better!

I prefer the interior of the Kia as well as the overall external look. One thing that puts me off the Hyundai is the square wheel arches.

Feel like comparing the two with an 7k difference in price needed to be called out more. I.e kia wins but does it win by 7k?

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.

I think the Tuscan looks plusher, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I am sure to the average driver both will handle just fine

Can't get past the 'challenging' front design of the Kia. So, the Tucson for me, I'm afraid...

I prefer the Kia Sportage, because of the sunroof and the 7 year warrenty.

We have the 2022 Kia Sportage and love everything about it.

Problem is….these cars with reasonable spec, are ridiculously expensive ……

There is not a CVT transmission in either. It's a conventional 6 speed.

Tucson N-Line S for me...this time next year!

Any of them Have wireless air play?

I love both but ended ordering the Sportage, because I prefer its interior with that spectacular dashboard... completely different from the other cars. I'm waiting for my Sportage probably next week and I can't wait 😉

Thks useful information... I preferred Hyundai... but after watching this video. I choose Kia

Here in Serbia Sportage is 2-5.000 euros more expencive, so I went for the Tuscon.

Why are the Honda crv or Toyota rav4 never mentioned as competitors. You get the usual Vag clones as the tesco lot to compare then the audi BMW as the sainsbury posh lot leaving the two I mentioned in no man's land

Went yesterday to a kia and a hyundai dealer to try boths interior. The Sportage does look better and more practical while Tucsons interior is good and a bit more roomy. Both pricetags were about the same. Have to try them on the road because stability and soundproofing are 2 aspects to keep in mind

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

the sportage looks great and drives quietly like tucson but, tucson is more attentioned to detail than the sportage. more quiet and practical. I can't fault both both car makes though, they are streets ahead of other big rivals like, peugeot.

Kia's not bad at all, but front is just not nice looking.. I know it is matter of taste, but Tucson is pleasing all around..

im enjoying my tucson full hybrid 7 months now😊 everyday i am very surprice about the performance and the best SUV of 2022😊 im happy i choose the tucson. eve you compare the GTline of KIA still no match on the beauty of not N line tucson😅😅😅

Have my GT Hybrid on order in Flame Blue, looks amazing cannot wait to pick it up next month :) never drove an automatic before so I’ll probs end up crashing straight off the line 😅

Sportage is good one, but I prefer Tucson for ita exterior and modest interior. Engine also, looks much more stabile is Hyundai🔥

So if your going to review 2 cars why chose base model of one against top level off another. . The nline s/ Ultimate Tuscon look nothing like the SE

I test drove the Kia Sportage loved it. The "coat hook" on the head rest is actually a hook for an iPad or tablet for kids to watch TV on long trips. The smaller hook is for a small coat or a bag. This is what I was told by the dealer. I love both vehicles I wish I could get the Tucson body style with the kia interior. My biggest concern with the Tucson is the where the break lights are located. Still haven't made the decision yet to which one I want to buy.

Mate just sold my Tucson M-hybrid 2021 - because of the milage which was horrible - i did not test the full hybrid though. Last week i ordered the KIA Sportage Hybrid which is 10 levels above the Tucson in everything ranging from the AT gearbox vs the dual clutch on the Tucson , suspensions, infotainment, design. Unfortunately PHEV is not available in my country yet so i was limited to a Hybrid but still i am very impressed with the KIA.

The Sportage looks so good and for me would be my personal choice over the Tucson

One of the best reviewers bar none!

Kia my vote 👍

I've got the Tucson, but if the sportage was available when i'd bought the Tucson, i think i'd have gone for that.

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

The Sportage (picked mine up last week)

still cant decide 2022 SUV's, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, Peugeot 3008 or Toyota Rav4. I think a watch all the review for these cars and still cant decide, so far after watching this its now down to Kia Sportage and Peugeot 3008

Kia win just by having the back indicator on top and not at the bottom🤷

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

Both are good

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

Exterior=Tucson Interior= Sportage

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

Not feeling the headlights on sportage but like the interior better but like the Hyundai size better snd overall the look better. The front is ugly on the Kia not feeling it

The GDI engine is a deal-breaker for me.

What color is the sportage?

I am very much sold on the Kia and Hyundai range. However, having secured a Kia E-Niro on a decent lease deal, there is something very simple yet frustrating about it. The auto hold is not in fact auto hold as it was in both our 5 series and s90 in that you manually have to turn it on each time you start the car. Can I ask, does the auto hold remain on with the new Sportage or the Hyundai Tucson?

Just ordered a Sportage gt-line mild hybrid petrol auto in lunar silver.

When will they make a Hybrid that doesn't sound like a tank when it's going on the motorway?

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

The Mazda CX5 better than all you mentioned 👍

Just ordered Kia Sportage GT line

اغلب المشاهدين اختاروا Tucson على رغم من انك تقارنها مع فئة gt-line لو اخرت Tucson n-line لتفوقت بشكل كبير

Kia: (Doesn’t offer adaptive dampers on the new Sportage in the UK) Audi, BMW and Mercedes: First time?

Sportage I like the looks-the new logo even; it’s awesome KIA.

Tucson looks better for me.

I have test drove both of these and the Kia is for me

CVT automatic?? It's DCT isn't it?
