Performance, power and 0-100 km/h
Both cars record the same 0-100 km/h time of 8.5 seconds. Their listed outputs are also identical at 265 hp. Both specifications list 367 Nm of torque. These figures describe straight-line potential only; they do not establish braking performance, ride quality, steering response or durability under repeated hard use.
Range, battery, charging and efficiency
2025 Kia Sportage PHEV 1.6 T-GDi PHEV X-Line AWD carries the longer listed range at 67 km, against 62 km for 2025 Hyundai Tucson PHEV 1.6 T-GDi PHEV Limited AWD. Their recorded consumption is identical at 1.2 L/100km. Test cycle, temperature, wheel size and charging conditions can materially affect these results, so only figures measured on the same basis should be treated as directly comparable.
Dimensions, cargo space and towing
2025 Hyundai Tucson PHEV 1.6 T-GDi PHEV Limited AWD provides the larger quoted cargo volume: 558 litres versus 540 litres, a difference of 18 litres. Their listed towing capacities are equal at 1,350 kg. 2025 Kia Sportage PHEV 1.6 T-GDi PHEV X-Line AWD is 15 mm longer overall. Exterior size is not a benefit by itself: a longer body may create useful room, but cargo shape, rear-seat space and ease of parking still require a physical inspection.
Price and overall assessment
2025 Hyundai Tucson PHEV 1.6 T-GDi PHEV Limited AWD has the lower listed starting price at $40,150, compared with $42,990 for 2025 Kia Sportage PHEV 1.6 T-GDi PHEV X-Line AWD. 2025 Hyundai Tucson PHEV 1.6 T-GDi PHEV Limited AWD leads in more of the shared headline fields, but that is not a universal verdict: a buyer should weight price, performance, range and utility rather than simply count category wins.
