Overview
If you have been thinking about purchasing a small SUV, you may be comparing the 2021 Kia Sportage with the 2021 Hyundai Tucson. Which one has the features you need? Here's a comparison of the two vehicles that can help you get your decision efficiently.
Engine Selections
The Kia Sportage provides a choice of two engines. You'll receive more than enough power for your daily commutes from the base 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. It generates an output of 181 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque. If you'd prefer a more robust driving experience, go for the optional turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. With a spirited output of 240 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, this engine ranks among the quickest in its class.
You can also choose from two engines with the Hyundai Tucson. With an output of 161 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque, the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine provides average performance. The available 2.4-liter four-cylinder delivers more punch with an output of 181 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque.
Cabin and Tech
The cabin of the Sportage is upscale and fitted with quality materials and easy-to-use features. Spacious and supportive seating for up to five passengers is provided. The standard UVO infotainment system is user-friendly and equipped with an 8-inch display, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capability, six speakers, a USB port, and Bluetooth.
Although the Tucson's cabin provides all the necessary features, it's a bit underwhelming when it comes to comfort and styling. Up to five passengers can be accommodated, and the front seats are quite spacious. With the standard 7-inch infotainment system, you receive standard features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Bluetooth, six speakers, and a USB port.

With the Sportage, you receive a rearview camera, pedestrian detection, forward-collision warning, lane-keep assist with lane-departure warning, and a driver attention monitor. Available features include blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and front and rear parking sensors.
