2024 Hyundai Tucson vs 2024 Kia Sportage in Columbia SC
2024 Hyundai Tucson Overview
The compact crossover has stiff competition each year. Even long-time favorites like the 2024 Hyundai Tucson and 2024 Kia Sportage really have to work for their place at the top of the class these days. Stivers Hyundai is a place where you can learn about even Hyundai's competitors. We compare models like this because we know at the end of the day, Hyundai gives their SUVs enough to win against any competitor. It's currently in its fourth generation and still taking on tough competitors like the Kia Sportage. Both models come with a standard 187-horsepower powertrain this year, but from there, things get very different.
Exterior - Hyundai Dealer Serving Columbia SC
It's obvious that the 2024 Hyundai Tucson has sold millions of units because people love the way this SUV looks. It has one of Hyundai's most shapely exteriors, and it only gets bolder in 2024. The new Tucson is small but has an upward slant in the front-end that makes it appear much larger than it is. It's an aggressive design statement and one that warns competitors that the Tucson rises above it all. A 2024 Kia Sportage has a much flatter front-end and one that won't appeal to people looking for sporty SUVs as much. Its flat hood-line and straight-across front bumper don't really make as big of a statement. People also often prefer the Tucson's more traditional, slimmed down and minimized LED headlamps. The Sportage went for arrow LEDs too fast for the rest of its exterior to catch up.
Interior - 2024 Hyundai Tucson in Columbia SC
A fully loaded 2024 Hyundai Tucson comes with leather-trimmed seats, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat. Heated and ventilated front seats are also standard for optimal all-weather comfort. For its part, the 2024 Kia Sportage does come with perforated and quilted SynTex seat trim, but many people prefer the Tucson's leather seating. You'll find the Tucson just feels better to ride in than the Sportage, and that has a lot to do with its available leather seating. Stivers Hyundai believes that most people who would sample both interiors would prefer the 2024 Hyundai Tucson vs 2024 Kia Sportage cabin.
Hyundai Tucson Driver-Assist Technology
A 2024 Kia Sportage comes with Kia Drive Wise technology, and that's a driver-assist platform that definitely earns the praise it receives. Features like rear parking distance warning and blind-spot collision avoidance assist protect the Sportage very well. The Tucson's starting driver-assist platform is more advanced, though, and its forward collision-avoidance assist comes with junction turning detection, something that Kia doesn't offer until further down the trim lineup. When you add in that the Sportage is the more expensive of the two models, it's easy to see that the Tucson is the better value for those looking at safety.
Winner: 2024 Hyundai Tucson
The new Tucson has it all. With 187-horsepower performance, three well-made trims, and outstanding SmartSense features, it's an SUV that so many people love. You'll also be pleased to know that the new Tucson is available in Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid trims. Trims like the Blue deliver turbocharged performance and upgraded technology for those looking to get more out of the Tucson's handsome build. We see so many people go home in a Tucson from our dealership. In 2024, we expect to see the number of people instantly choosing the Tucson go up even more. It's a model that's easy to appreciate just because of its beautiful exterior, but once those doors are open, the Tucson offers a whole new world to families. If you want to get the most out of your travel space and still drive a compact SUV crossover, you can trust the Tucson to deliver.
