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.

Mukhang BMW X5-X6 dating ng Kia Sportage....

Pero mas makisig para sa akin ang Tucson.

Pero ayaw ko magkaroon ng mga yan, mas magiging lapitin ka ng chikababes nyan... jk.

The new Sportage is nice (esp the front grille...ang angas ng tiger look). but looks wise, Tucson pa rin for me.

i find the rear part of sportage too "ma-bilog". may macho bang mabilog?! hehe! mali-b*g pwede pa! hahaha! joke! kidding aside, parang masyadong mataba ang sportage for me.

Up ko lang kasi available na sportage
Planning to buy a CUV (2WD Gas) this coming December.
Pero kung kakayanin, Santa Fe 2WD R-eVGT gusto ko!

Nice! I prefer the looks of the sportage to the tucson. Just looks more solid. Yea they both kinda have shades of the x5 look though. Up for korean surge adding some spice to the auto market!

Mas maganda ang harap ng sportage. Mas maganda naman ang likod ng tucson. Sa side pareho lang. I am doubting kung masustain ng hyundai ang "fluid" design nila. Bakit di ginawang ang starex na fluid design?At kung magkaka pick-up ang hyundai, fluid design din kaya?

Sari-sariling preference lang naman yan. I personally prefer the Sportage more. Its like comparing BMW (Hyundai) and Audi/Volkswagen (Kia). But I really hate Kia's designers for doing away with the C-pillar window (yun nga ba ang tawag dun? Basta yung window sa 3rd row ) It makes the Sportage look like a huge raised hatch with SUV wheels when looked on the side and there's also the issue of a huge blind spot in the rear...
