Both offer exceptional used value compared to the RAV4 and CR-V — you typically save $3,000-5,000 for a comparable vehicle. The Tucson and Sportage are mechanically similar (same platform, same engines), but the Sportage often prices slightly lower. The 2022+ redesigns of both are dramatically improved.
Kia and Hyundai share parent company and parts. Both offer excellent warranty coverage that transfers to used buyers (10yr/100K mi powertrain for original owner, 5yr/60K for subsequent). Reliability has improved dramatically since 2020. Avoid 2011-2015 models with Theta II engine issues.
The 2022+ Tucson and Sportage both have stunning interiors that punch well above their price class. The Sportage has a more driver-focused cockpit with a curved display. The Tucson offers more rear seat space. Both offer wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto on most trims.
Choose the Tucson if you want more rear passenger space and a slightly more premium interior feel. Choose the Sportage if you want a lower used price and a more distinctive design. Either way, you get excellent value — much more car for the money than Toyota or Honda alternatives.
