Kia Sportage vs Hyundai Tucson
The right set of wheels can take you anywhere you want to go. The Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson are two versatile options, but which one is right for you?
To help families and adventure seekers in the Avon, Indianapolis, or Plainfield, IN areas decide, Andy Mohr KIA looked at what they have to offer in this 2022 Kia Sportage vs. Hyundai Tucson comparison.
MAX HORSEPOWER
HILL START ASSIST
BLIND-SPOT COLLISION WARNING
With impressive acceleration and agile handling, the 2022 Kia Sportage is one exciting compact Kia SUV. It runs on a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine that gets up to 181 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque.
Drivers who want to power through the elements or accelerate quickly will also be interested in the available turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. It offers an impressive 240 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.
The Hyundai Tucson also offers a 2.4L 4-cylinder that’s capable of getting up to 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. While this offers a smooth ride, it’s the maximum horsepower provided by any engine of the Tucson.
With similar specs, the 2022 Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson are both capable of towing up to 2,000 pounds. That’s enough power to hitch a utility trailer, a couple dirt bikes, or a fishing boat to your ride.
Both SUVs also offer all-wheel drive, so you can get through tough driving conditions without running into any problems.
However, the Kia’s drivetrain offers extra traction and stability. Its Dynamax™ All-Wheel-Drive system features a locking center differential. Plus, if you’re driving on steep roads, Hill Start Assist can help you climb to the top, while Downhill Brake Control lets you come back down safely.
The Hyundai Tucson’s AWD system doesn’t offer any locking differentials, nor does it offer Hill Start Assist, or anything that can maintain a safe, slow speed when you’re driving downhill.
Both vehicles come with an advanced suite of safety systems ready to keep you protected from the fast-paced road around you.
For starters, you’ll find the following on even the base trims of the 2022 Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson:
- Forward Collision Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection
- Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Departure Warning
- Driver Attention Warning
With these technologies by your side, you’ll be able to stay out of harm’s way and even be brought to a complete stop if needed to avoid a frontal collision.
To provide the utmost protection, the Sportage is also standardly equipped with Blind-Spot Collision Warning. It lets you know when another vehicle is traveling in your side blind zones, so you know when you can safely make a lane change.
If you want access to a comparable feature in the Hyundai Tucson, though, you’ll need to upgrade to a higher trim level since it isn’t a standard amenity.
With its high-powered performance, impressive fuel economy, and rugged capability, the Kia Sportage is the kind of compact Kia SUV that drivers all over Avon, Indianapolis, or Plainfield, IN can count on.
