Kia Seltos vs Hyundai Tucson Space and Convenience

With a fine-toothed comb, you can identify the differences between the cabins of the Kia Seltos and the Hyundai Tucson. Both feature available power sunroofs; however, the Kia Seltos offers one with two trims, while the Tucson only gives it to you with one. If you like the appearance of a smooth leather steering wheel with a matching gearshift knob, you can get them with every Kia Seltos trim except the base one. With the Tucson, this option is only available on the three highest trims. When you take the wheel in the Kia Seltos, you can sink into an available 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with 2-way lumbar support. In the Hyundai, you have the option of an 8-way power driver’s seat. Stride to the back and open the trunk to find 62.8 cubic feet of cargo space in the Kia Seltos with the second row folded down. Less cargo space can be found in the Tucson with only 61.9 cubic feet to spare once you fold down the rear seats.
