The Hyundai Tucson and the Kia Sportage are closely matched family SUVs that both offer striking exterior styling, practical cabins, and straightforward physical climate controls alongside crisp digital displays. Both models provide plenty of interior room and come with 17-inch alloy wheels, front and rear parking sensors, and manual gearboxes paired with 150 horsepower petrol engines. The Tucson stands out with a slightly larger boot and a more interesting interior design, while the Sportage counters with a longer warranty and a slightly more efficient mild-hybrid powertrain. Neither car offers a particularly plush ride over rough town roads, but both settle into comfortable motorway cruisers that are easy to drive.
