The Hyundai Tucson is a small SUV that boasts a reasonable price tag. It is great for taking on the week’s errands or towing the boat on the weekend, as it is comfortable and easy to drive. It has three main competitors:
While they all seem to be quite similar, the Hyundai Tucson actually has clear advantages over all of them! One of which is the warranty. Hyundai takes plenty of pride in their vehicles’ quality, to the point of receiving multiple awards for it. The warranty of Hyundai vehicles, including the Tucson, is easily one of the most competitive ones in the entire industry: the basic one is at 5yr/100,000km.
Read on for more about the Hyundai Tucson’s advantages versus its competitors:
COMFORT: There is plenty of head room and leg room in the Hyundai Tucson. Both the driver and front passenger will be very comfortable, which is a particular plus for taller drivers.
PRICE: Compared to the $28,690 base MSRP of Honda’s CR-V, the Hyundai Tucson’s $25,999 base MSRP is still the better deal.
RIDE QUALITY: A well-paired transmission and engine allows the Hyundai Tucson to provide a ride that’s both elegant and smooth. Multiple reviews have called out the powertrain of the Honda CR-V to be unresponsive and sluggish.
PRICE: When buying a vehicle, a key factor consider is price points. This is especially true in this case since both vehicles are closely matched. The Tucson is being offered by Hyundai at a base MSRP of $25,999; on the other hand, the Rogue from Nissan’s base MSRP is $27,198. Both the price gap and value go up as the trim levels get higher. This alone shows that the better valued SUV is most certainly from Hyundai.
RELIABILITY: RepairPal finds the Hyundai Tucson to have a lower repair cost overall and less frequency when compared to the Nissan Rogue.
RIDE QUALITY: Reviews were all in favour of the Hyundai Tucson over the Nissan Rouge in 2019, and its largely kept that up this year. The Hyundai Tucson offers a ride that’s more quiet, refined and one that handles better. On the other hand, some reviews see the NIssan Rogue’s drivetrain as noisy and the handling as “boring.”
SAFETY: Hyundai’s Tucson got a 5 Star Overall Crash Rating from the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (US NHTSA). On the other hand, the Toyota RAV4 received 4 Star Overall Crash Ratings only.
SPACE: Whether it’s a long drive with multiple passengers or a quick trip with luggage, space is crucial in a vehicle. The Hyundai Tucson is great for both, especially passengers. It has 102.2 cubic feet of passenger volume to offer, which is considerably more than the 98.9 cubic feet of the RAV4.
The Hyundai Tucson is a small SUV with a reasonable price tag. It has some competition amongst other car brands, but it ultimately comes out as the best choice. Compared to its competitors, it has better ride quality, reliability and a lower base MSRP.
