Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Tucson than in the Nissan Kicks. The Nissan Kicks offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Hyundai Tucson, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Hyundai Tucson will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Nissan Kicks, which has a much lower MSRP.

Since the Hyundai Tucson is much wider than the Nissan Kicks, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Hyundai Tucson, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Nissan Kicks.

Handling
The Hyundai Tucson has a significantly larger turning radius than the Nissan Kicks, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

The Hyundai Tucson has a little more horsepower than the Nissan Kicks.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Hyundai Tucson transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Nissan Kicks.
