This is a Motormouth couple car comparison of the all-new Kia Sportage and the Hyundai Tucson compact SUVs. Both are offered with gas, hybrid and plug-in hybrid. The Sportage and Tucson share the same platform and powertrains including, a gas, hybrid and plug-in hybrid. The gas model has a 2.5L 4-cylinder with an 8-speed automatic transmission, 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. FWD and AWD options are available. The Hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains have a 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The hybrid has a combined 227 horsepower with standard AWD. The Tucson PHEV has a combined 261 horsepower with 53 km/33 miles of EV range. The Sportage PHEV total output has not been announced yet, we assume it will be the same as the Tucson and the Sorento PHEV’s with 261 horsepower. It will have a targeted EV range of 51 km/32 miles and standard AWD. The Sportage plug-in hybrid will arrive this summer. Although these two SUV’s have plenty in common, they are very different looking.
