Hyundai Tucson or Kia Sportage?

I'm shopping for a crossover... Help me decide between the Kia Sportage and the Hyundai Tucson please. Interior space, interior design, value for money and a comfortable economic drive would be the qualities that would sway my decision...

Please help!

Hi Yvonne,

I hate to make your life harder but... There's no difference, at least not mechanically speaking. The Sportage and the Tucson share the same engine, chassis and electronics package - all that's different is the styling and the cabins. Arguably, the Sportage is a little more engaging to drive than the Tucson, but it's a very narrow difference. And while the Sportage has a longer warranty, it's limited to 150,000km - the Hyundai's five-year warranty comes with unlimited mileage. 

It basically boils down to buying whichever one you prefer the look of... Here are our reviews to help you along:
