2020 Kia Sportage vs. 2020 Hyundai Tucson

For living the active, rugged lifestyle in Denver, a small SUV is an excellent choice. Both sporty and affordable, compact SUVs like the 2020 Kia Sportage and 2020 Hyundai Tucson are great for daily commutes or hitting the mountain roads around Lakewood. In 2019, Market Watch named the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson to their top ten best compact SUVs under $26,000 list. When it comes to Kia vs. Hyundai in 2020, the vehicles are similar and still provide a lot of SUV for a small size and price tag.

Kia Sportage vs. Hyundai Tucson: Price

The Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson fall into similar price ranges. The base model’s MSRP are within $1000 of each other, while the top-tier Kia Sportage is almost $2000 more than the Hyundai Tucson. What do Arvada drivers get for that extra money? For starters:

• 19-inch alloy wheels
• Harman Kardon® Premium Surround Sound with Clari-Fi™, 320 watts and 8 speakers
• Heated and ventilated front seats
• Leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear shift knob

Let’s compare the Kia warranty with Hyundai’s. The Kia warranty is well-known for its 10 year/100,000 miles powertrain limited warranty, 5 year/60,000 mile basic warranty, 5 year/100,000 mile anti-perforation warranty, and 5 year/60,000 mile roadside assistance. The Hyundai warranty is catching up with Kia’s offerings:

• 10 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty
• 5 year/60,000 mile new vehicle limited warranty
• 7 year/unlimited mile anti-perforation warranty
• 5 year/unlimited mile roadside assistance

With Hyundai’s warranty, you can drive more miles with the peace of mind of roadside assistance without having the extra expense of paying for coverage elsewhere.

Kia Sportage vs. Hyundai Tucson: Efficiency and Safety

Both models get similar gas mileage with the city average high at 23 mpg, making them compatible when navigating the mountains in Arvada. But for safety on rough or slick roads, the Kia Sportage comes with standard Dynamax™ Full-time All-Wheel Drive. This system anticipates road conditions and delivers power to the wheels that need it most. The Hyundai Tucson has available all-wheel drive at an additional cost.
