PERFORMANCE
Kia Sportage Hybrid

To lead the league in slugging, baseball players must have a solid stance in the batter’s box, flex their ample strength, see pitches well, and wield unparalleled confidence while at bat. Much like baseball pros, the Kia Sportage Hybrid and the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid must check all the performance boxes to be an all-star.

Rounding the Bases

The score is tied in the bottom of the ninth. You’ve got a man in scoring position. All your team needs is a base hit to win. When you’re in a make-it-or-break-it moment like that, you need a vehicle that can put on the jets and get you home. Which SUV is more powerful?

Both models equip a 1.6L turbocharged engine. You’ll easily score with either SUV thanks to their quick-footed acceleration. Still, in the Sportage Hybrid, it generates 227 horsepower compared to the 180 horsepower in the Tucson Hybrid. Plus, the Kia produces 258 lb-ft of torque compared to the Hyundai’s 195 lb-ft of torque. With more torque, the Sportage Hybrid will make rounding the bases seem like child’s play.

Long Ball

To keep the inning alive, players need to hack balls foul to avoid striking out. Experience and expertise are needed in this crucial moment. The Kia and the Hyundai also provide a pivotal asset to the puzzle: endurance.

As hybrid SUVs, these models can travel longer on a single tank of gas. Which one is more likely to hit balls out of the yard?

  • Kia Sportage Hybrid: EPA-estimated 42 city/44 highway MPG*
  • Hyundai Tucson Hybrid: EPA-estimated 38 city/38 highway MPG

Thanks to their fuel efficiency, both SUVs easily hit doubles and triples. However, with its better mileage, the Kia effortlessly plays long ball, so it can always make it to home plate standing.

TECHNOLOGY
Kia Sportage Hybrid

The jumbotron at your favorite ballpark is important in more ways than one. It delivers player stats, shows instant replays, and provides audience entertainment during the seventh inning stretch. Technology also plays a pivotal role in the Kia and the Hyundai. Which model do you prefer?

Pump-up Playlist

Walk-up songs. Every player has one. These songs often become synonymous with a player, and audience members won’t even have to look at the field to know who’s coming up to bat.

The same goes for you. Both models have standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, which allows you to be the DJ on your journey. Plus, with their advanced sound systems, you can play your signature song and let your neighbors know when you’re coming and going.

Jumbo-Sized Screens

Both SUVs have large infotainment displays. While they’re not as big as a baseball park’s jumbotron, the Sportage Hybrid sure does give it a run for its money. Behind the wheel of the Kia is a 12.2-inch instrument display and to the right is an 8-inch touchscreen display. Dual 12.3-inch screens are available.

On the other hand, the Hyundai has a 4.2-inch or optional 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. It also has a standard 8-inch touchscreen display; however, it only gets as big as 10.25 inches. Even if you’re sitting in the nosebleed section, the jumbotron lets you feel like you’re on the diamond. The Kia’s larger screens will give you that added visibility you crave.

COMFORT
Kia Sportage Hybrid

Whether you go to a day or a night game, you need equipment to keep you comfy through all nine innings. Sure, a dollar hot dog, a cold beer, and a bag of peanuts will get the job done. These hybrid SUVs have their own amenities to ensure you’re comfortable before the seventh inning stretch.

Welcome to the Dugout

When it comes to their cabins, the Kia and the Hyundai offer similar standard and available creature comforts, such as:

  • Dual-zone auto climate control
  • Woven cloth seats
  • Heated front seats
  • Available ventilated front seats
  • Available heated steering wheel

If you have to tune into the game via radio as you drive, you’ll feel comfortable rain or shine.

Loosening up in the Bullpen

Nine innings is a long time, especially when it’s a sold-out crowd and you’re packed in like sardines. Although your season ticket seats feel like your home away from home, the Sportage Hybrid and the Tucson Hybrid ensure you can kick back and relax.

Both models have adjustable seating that makes you feel like you’ve got the best seat at the game. The Hyundai only offers 8-way power adjustment, while the Kia goes up to 10-way adjustment! With additional movement like that, anyone behind the wheel can find their sweet spot and stretch their limbs when needed.
