Kia Sportage vs Tucson: Performance Specifications

Standardly leading the way in the 2020 Kia Sportage is a 2.4L inline 4-cylinder engine. You can also opt for an available 2.0L turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine that pumps out 240 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. With this kind of power and the proper equipment, the Kia Sportage can tow up to 2,000 pounds of trailer equipment.

Pair either engine with the available Dynamax™ All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system with locking center differential. This system strategically monitors your driving conditions and makes automatic adjustments to the torque distribution to give you the best possible grip on the road.

The 2020 Hyundai Tucson has two engine options, as well. No matter which one you go with, though, you'll max out at 181 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque, which means less pickup and less pep.

Kia Sportage vs Hyundai Tucson: Comfort & Convenience

As SUVs, the 2020 Sportage and 2020 Tucson prioritize interior space. With both models, you'll get five spacious seats with 41+ inches of front legroom and 38+ inches of rear legroom. Additionally, you'll get more than 60 total cubic feet in either model with the rear seats folded down.

Packing your cargo has never been easier, thanks to the available hands-free power liftgates offered by both models. Simply swipe your foot under the rear bumper of the vehicle, and the tailgate will rise on its own-no need to set your items down or fish your keys out of your pocket.

When it comes to luxury-level comfort, though, the Sportage is a step ahead of the Tucson. With this model, you'll be able to opt for a 10-way power driver's seat with lumbar support, as well as heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, leather seating surfaces, and more. You won't have as much of a selection with the Tucson.

2020 Kia Sportage vs Tucson: Technology & Safety Features

The Kia Sportage was designed with families in mind, which is why each one is standardly equipped with the Kia Drive Wise suite of safety features. No matter where you go, you'll be able to count on these advanced features to have your back:

• Blind-Spot Collision Warning
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
• Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go

Additionally, the Sportage keeps you connected with an available UVO infotainment system with UVO link. Not only will you get navigation, Bluetooth®, and smartphone integration, you'll also get Amazon Alexa integration, Find My Car assistance, Google Assistant, and remote climate control.

With the Hyundai Tucson, you'll get some of these features-like an intuitive infotainment system and a handful of safety features-but you'll miss out on all of the UVO link capabilities. Additionally, blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic monitoring do not come standard on this model.

The Verdict: 2020 Kia Sportage vs 2020 Hyundai Tucson

While the 2020 Hyundai Tucson offers a few great features, only the 2020 Kia Sportage provides the whole package.
