Whether heading out for an adventure in Collinsville or quick errands around Mascoutah, the right SUV can make your life easier than ever – but which one should you choose? Many customers find themselves torn between the 2021 Kia Sportage vs. Hyundai Tucson, and while the Tucson has plenty of great features onboard, it’s the Kia Sportage that pulls ahead for its performance, amenities, and the Kia warranty. Take a look at the Kia vs. Hyundai below, and find out why you should start planning that test drive in a new Sportage!

Kia vs. Hyundai: Performance

Some Smithton drivers prioritize overall power in their SUV, while others prefer a more fuel-efficient experience. But no matter which you prefer, the Kia Sportage has the better specs with its engine configuration. Its larger 4-cylinder engine translates to 20 extra horsepower and 25 additional lb-ft of torque, so you can navigate the roads of Trenton with absolute confidence. And though powerful, the Sportage doesn’t compromise a fuel-efficient performance. In fact, you’ll get an extra 2 miles per gallon on the highway! Take a look:

2021 Kia Sportage

• 2.4L 4-cylinder engine
• 181 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque

Kia vs. Hyundai: Features

The Kia Sportage has the clear edge over the competition when it comes to performance, but what about luxury? Both models include similar amenities like 60/40 split-folding rear seats and a standard six-speaker audio system. However, the Sportage offers additional luxuries like available dual-zone temperature control and heated and ventilated front seats, along with premium exclusives like:

• Available 320-watt Harman/Kardon® Premium Surround Sound w/ Clari-Fi™ system
• Parking assist with front and rear sensors
• 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with two-way power lumbar support
