2011 Sportage vs 2010 Tucson

[the one]

Image Comparison from Goodcarbadcar.com




Perched next to the Kia Sportage in the image below is its brother from another mother, the Hyundai Tucson. Sharing plenty of their underthings is one thing, but these two do not go out on the town dressed alike. Kia uses slightly harder lines for the Sportage while Hyundai rounded out the Tucson, making it appear lower where the Sportage seems more butch.




Although these vehicles share architecture, their respective marketing strategies will be drastically different. The Hyundai Tucson is already available priced just $1,000 beneath the Kia Sportage's big brother, the Sorento. It's improbable that Kia would so closely align the 2011 Sportage with the larger, more thoroughly fitted Kia Sorento - even if the two combine forces to battle America's best-selling SUV, the more expensive Honda CR-V.


Regardless, this post is about image. On the right, you see the Kia Sportage. On the left, Hyundai presents the Tucson. Angle for angle, Kia's got it nailed. Seen together, the Hyundai may come across as slightly upscale but doesn't seem as cohesive.

mas maangas nga yung Sportage kasi "boxy" yung design nya.. yung Tucson naman medyo mabilog yung pagkaka design "fluidic" ika nga

There is something wrong with the front end of the tucson..... similar to the CRV, something is wrong with the design... I think its the middle horizontal bar of the grille that is making tucson ugly...

the Sportage somehow resembles like a little Sorento. i like it's boxy design very much because it enhances its SUV stance.
