75-200mph
Hurricanes are primarily driven by easterly winds called trade winds near the equator and westerly winds known as the westerlies in higher latitudes. These winds help steer hurricanes across the Atlantic Ocean.
A fast twisting funnel associated with hurricanes is called a tornado. These can often form in the outer bands of a hurricane, particularly in the right front quadrant. Tornadoes in hurricanes can bring additional damaging winds and further intensify the impact of the storm.
Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes. Both hurricanes and tornadoes can be deadly, although hurricanes are more likely to cause widespread destruction due to their larger size and duration. Both hurricanes and tornadoes have strong winds, but hurricanes typically have more sustained, powerful winds over a larger region.

The statement "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" is true. "Hurricanes have strong winds" is also true unless there is a second part to it. Both hurricanes and tornadoes kill people.
Sustained winds in a hurricane are at least 74 mph. Some hurricanes have had winds as high as 190 mph.
Both hurricanes and tornadoes produces very fast winds. As to which one has faster winds, it varies. Some tornadoes have faster winds than others and a tornado will vary in intensity during its existence. The same is true of hurricanes. In most cases the wind speeds in a tornado and in a hurricane will fall into the same range. In the most extremely cases, though, the strongest tornadoes produce faster winds than the strongest hurricanes.

Heavy winds like hurricanes, tornadoes, and tropical winds
No, tornadoes can produce winds faster than in any hurricane. There is actually a substantial amount of overlap between hurricane and tornado winds. Winds for an EF0 tornado start at 65 mph and winds in the strongest tornadoes have been recorded at 302 mph. Hurricane force winds start at 74 mph. Hurricanes have had sustained winds as fast as 190 mph with gusts recorded up to 253 mph.
Because of their winds.
There is actually a good deal of overlap. The winds of most hurricanes and tornadoes and hurricanes fall into the same range. However, the strongest tornadoes have faster winds than the strongest hurricanes.

In most cases the wind speeds fall into the same range. However, it is not uncommon for tornadoes to produce winds in excess of 150 mph, which are rarely attained by hurricanes. The most violent tornadoes do produce stronger winds than even the most intense hurricanes.
