Ex-showroom, Kathmandu4 of 6 trim prices distributor-verified 07 Oct 2026Comparing GLX 4WD AT vs X-Line 2.5 Petrol AT variants
The short answer

Kia Sportage costs रु 35,06,000 less ex-showroom. Sportage has 34 PS more power.

Choose the Hyundai Tucson if
You prefer its body style, brand or dealer near you — the numbers are close.

This trim makes sense for buyers who need traction and diesel torque more than outright refinement. It is hard to call it value unless you regularly use the 4WD capability.

Pros
4WD improves rough-road confidence.
Diesel torque should suit hills and load carrying.
Automatic gearbox helps usability.
Useful for buyers outside Kathmandu Valley.
Cons
Highest-cost diesel Tucson in the list.
Diesel may be less attractive in urban use.

Our verdict

These two split the decision: the Kia Sportage is रु 35,06,000 cheaper ex-showroom (27.8%), while the Hyundai Tucson is ahead on dealer and service reach — so the answer depends on which of those you are buying for.

Choose the Hyundai Tucson if
  • you want servicing within reach of where you live
  • you want a dealer close enough to visit and negotiate at

Measured: 5 more service centres in Nepal (35 vs 30); 38 more showrooms in Nepal (81 vs 43).

Choose the Kia Sportage if
  • the ex-showroom price is your binding constraint
  • you want the stronger powertrain for hill climbs and overtaking

Measured: 34 PS more power.

Every figure in this verdict is computed from the table below — the same ex-showroom prices, variant specifications and Nepal service network the page publishes. Nothing here is an estimate, and where a figure is missing on one side the axis is left out rather than guessed.
