When it comes to compact SUVs, the Hyundai Tucson and Honda CR-V are each incredibly popular choices in a competitive market. Both vehicles offer a compelling combination of versatility, comfort, and advanced features. However, at First Hyundai we delve into the details and explore why the this new Hyundai model shines in comparison to the Honda CR-V for your Seekonk lifestyle.
Comparing Hyundai Tucson and Honda CR-V Performance
Both the Hyundai Tucson and Honda CR-V come with combustion and hybrid engine configurations, but only the Hyundai Tucson is available with a versatile plug-in hybrid as well.
Hyundai Tucson Performance
The Hyundai Tucson impresses with its diverse engine lineup, providing options to suit different driving preferences. The available turbocharged engine delivers 187 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. And with the Tucson Hybrid, you'll have an impressive 226 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. And with the Tucson Plug-in Hybrid, you'll get eve more performance with 261 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. In addition, you'll have 33 miles of EV range, something that no Honda CR-V can offer. And for handling, the Tucson's well-tuned suspension contributes to a smooth ride, offering comfort on various road surfaces.
Honda CR-V Performance
While the Honda CR-V offers a reliable and efficient performance, it tends to lean towards a more conservative driving experience. The CR-V's standard powertrain is similar to the Tucson, with 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque. But in the hybrid variant, the CR-V falls short at 204 horsepower and just 129 pound-feet of torque. And remember, there is no plug-in hybrid option for the Honda SUV.
Technology Comparison
Tech is comparable between both the Hyundai Tucson and Honda CR-V, but there are a few touches that set the Tucson apart from its Japanese competitor.
Hyundai Tucson Tech Features
The Hyundai Tucson excels in the technology department, offering a modern and user-friendly infotainment system. The available larger touchscreen display and intuitive controls enhance the overall driving experience. Advanced driver-assistance features, such as Hyundai's SmartSense suite, provide an extra layer of safety and convenience. Plus, proximity keys, surround-view camera features, and a remote Smart Parking Assist for easy parking on the busy streets of Milford.
Honda CR-V Tech
The Honda CR-V is equipped with a decent infotainment system but might lag behind the Tucson in terms of screen size and user interface. And while you can have a proximity key, the price tag for the Honda CR-V is considerably higher than that of the Tucson for the same level of tech.
Safety Comparison
Hyundai Tucson
The Hyundai Tucson prioritizes safety with its SmartSense suite, which includes features like forward collision avoidance, lane-keeping assist, and smart cruise control. Furthermore, you'll have a surround view monitor, HIghway Driving Assist, and a Blind Spot View monitor that projects a live video of your blind spots for easier lane changes.
Honda CR-V
The Honda CR-V also boasts a range of safety features, including Honda Sensing technologies. While these features enhance safety, features like the Tucson's blind spot cameras are unfortunately unavailable in the latest Honda CR-V models.
Interior Space and Comfort
For long drives around Mansfield, interior comfort is critical. Fortunately, the Hyundai Tucson offers more cabin space and comfort-focused features than the Honda CR-V. Learn more below.
Hyundai Tucson
The Hyundai Tucson's interior is well-designed, providing a comfortable and ergonomic space for both the driver and passengers. Quality materials including available Nappa leather and attention to detail contribute to a refined cabin ambiance. Features like heated and ventilated seats add even greater luxury. Plus, the Tucson's available panoramic sunroof enhances the feeling of openness in the cabin. And with 41.4 inches of front legroom and 41.3 inches of rear legroom, you'll have more space to stretch out than in the Honda CR-V.
Honda CR-V
The Honda CR-V's interior is spacious and offers comfortable seating. But with the premium materials and genuine luxury features available in the Hyundai Tucson, the Honda CR-V doesn't quite offer the same level of comfort.
Cargo Space Comparison
Hyundai Tucson
The Hyundai Tucson strikes a balance between compact size and practicality, offering a well-utilized cargo space. With 38.7 cubic feet of cargo room, the Tucson lets you bring up to 8 full-size suitcases along for your journey. In addition, the available hands-free liftgate adds convenience for hauling those heavy items.
Honda CR-V
The Honda CR-V finds its lone victory here, where 39.3 cubic feet of rear cargo space is just a touch more than you'll get with the Hyundai Tucson. However, it also offers less cargo height and less legroom, so the space itself isn't as functional for those truly large items.
Hyundai Tucson vs Honda CR-V Design Comparison
Design is subjective, but Hyundai Tucson offers a much more unique look than the narrowed LED headlights and squared grille of the Honda CR-V.
Hyundai Tucson Design
The Hyundai Tucson underwent a striking redesign, featuring a bold and dynamic exterior. The Tucson's modern design language, with its parametric grille and sharp lines, contributes to its overall eye-catching appearance.
Honda CR-V Design
Meanwhile, the Honda CR-V maintains a classic and functional design, with a focus on practicality. While the CR-V's design is certainly more expected, some drivers may be drawn to the Tucson's more avant-garde and contemporary aesthetic.
