Are you looking for the 2022 Ultimate, or the upcoming 2023 Ultimate?
If sporty is what someone wants that would be the Sportage. Just opinion of course but I would say the Tucson looks more upscale inside and out, more of what they call a Boulavard look. Sportage more sporty. I happen not to like the shape and size of the the air vents in the Sportage or the front end. Tucson has a little more substantial disc brakes and I believe is rated to trailer more weight about 350lbs. For me the Tucson has one of the best front and rear looks obviously for some it will be the Sportage.Speak off, I honestly wouldn't mind the Kia Sportage PHEV as wellsame platform, fancier interior
They are the same car, with the same engine, with the same brakes, with the same frame, they are rated the same for towing both 2000lb for phev.If sporty is what someone wants that would be the Sportage.

Same cars but on several sites I see differences in interior space, size of disc brakes, towing and available trim. Just want to point out I'm not pulling out my comments from thin air.

Yep in the end essentially the same platform etc. You would be deciding primarily on style.Oh yeah, interior space can be different, they share the same platform, but I believe kia chose to move the rear seats a bit forward to get even more trunk space if I am not mistaken.
What about the official specs ?
The same wheelbase, the same width, obviously same engine and platform,
Sportage towing 2000lb (speaking of hybrids and PHEVs)
Tucson towing 2000lb (speaking of hybrids and PHEvs)
they both have 3500 for ICEs
According to kia Canada, read brake is Solid disc (11.8”) which already makes the car connection a bit off.
Tucson seems to have bigger brakes on the rear tho, so that is correct.
What I meant originally, platform and mechanical wise they are the same vehicle.
Yep, while I like Tucson more from the outside, I find the Kia's interior more "posh"Yep in the end essentially the same platform etc. You would be deciding primarily on style.
