The Kia Sportage is the Tucson's most direct rival, given it shares its platform and engines with it.
Given their extensive similarities, it comes down to which model you prefer the look of inside and out – all the features available on the Tucson are available on the Sportage, though the two model ranges are specified differently. Servicing prices are more affordable in the Hyundai but the warranty is longer in the Kia.
The Nissan X-Trail offers the option of a third row but a new model is due here later in 2022, sharing its underpinnings with the recently redesigned Mitsubishi Outlander that also features a third row. Neither is available with a diesel engine anymore.
The Tucson is available overseas with both a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid but neither is available here, forcing buyers to look to the Toyota RAV4 for the former and the Outlander for the latter.
The Mazda CX-5 has a smaller cabin but is one of the few SUVs remaining in this segment with the option of a diesel. It also offers a punchy 170kW/420Nm turbo-petrol, which the Hyundai has no answer for.
