If you’re comparing options for your next compact SUV, it’s no surprise that you’ve narrowed the list down to the market’s frontrunners. The Hyundai Tucson and Honda CR-V both come with some appealing features and qualities for 2022, but which SUV checks all the boxes for you? Let’s park them side by side for a comparison.
A modern SUV should come with modern technology, and you might be surprised by the different offerings in each of these contenders. A touchscreen infotainment system comes standard in the Tucson, while the CR-V base model only sports a display screen with no touch capability. The Honda’s screen is also smaller than the Hyundai’s expansive 8-inch screen, and even if you opt for the CR-V’s available touchscreen, it’s still smaller than both the Tucson’s standard screen as well as its available 10.25-inch upgrade. The Tucson comes standard with smartphone connectivity for Android and Apple devices as well, while these features are only available at an additional expense in the CR-V.
If you prioritize efficiency, both Hyundai and Honda stand out in the market for their attention to fuel-efficient driving. They also offer their SUVs with hybrid options. The Tucson Hybrid complements its disciplined gas mileage with a lively 226 horsepower thanks to a turbocharged 4-cylinder and electric motor combination. Hyundai also offers a plug-in hybrid Tucson that generates 261 horsepower. Although the CR-V Hybrid is admirably efficient, it generates less horsepower than the hybrid Tucson.
While both vehicles received respectably high predicted reliability ratings for 2022, The Tucson leads the way with a higher score. Hyundai also covers the Tucson with more substantial warranties than the CR-V can offer. The Tucson is covered with a five-year/60,000-mile limited warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, while the CR-V trails with a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.
