Hyundai Tucson vs The Competition

When shopping the small SUV segment, think big by choosing the one and only Hyundai Tucson from Ray Skillman Southside Hyundai.

Let’s take a look at how the new Hyundai Tucson beats out its major competitors: the Toyota RAV4 and the Honda CR-V. After this, there will be no question about which ride is best suited for you and your family.

Value

Unfortunately for both Toyota and Honda, the conversation pretty much begins and ends right here. The Hyundai Tucson flat-out gives you more for your money than either the RAV4 or the CR-V. At a starting MSRP of just above $22,000, the Tucson gives you all you want in a small SUV. Both the Toyota RAV4 and the Honda CRV can’t touch this pricing, as they’re priced considerably higher than the Tucson.

Add in Hyundai’s unbeatable cash incentives, and it’s a no-brainer. Currently, Hyundai is giving you up to $2,500 in cash rebates, as well as 0% APR for 60 months. Not to mention leasing specials of $199/mo. for 60 months. The Honda CR-V, however, currently offers nothing to you in terms of savings or incentives. At least the Toyota RAV4 can come somewhat close, with only $2000 cash back available and a lease special good only on the RAV4 LE FWD model. The big difference here is that Hyundai actually wants to make it easier for you to own a high-quality vehicle with the size, space, and versatility you need.

Although this info alone is likely enough for most to choose the Hyundai Tucson over the others, there’s still more to consider.

Interior

Let’s face it: we all care about what our vehicles look like on the outside, but we spend all our time on the inside. Hyundai knows this. That’s why the new Tucson was created to impress both inside and out. The interior environment of the Hyundai Tucson is far superior to both the RAV4 and the CR-V. Inside the Tucson, you’ll enjoy a far more quiet and refined ride than in the Toyota RAV4 or the Honda CR-V; which have both been described as leaving much to desire. In fact, the Car Connection has described both the RAV4 and the CR-V as unpolished and not so pretty. Again, the choice gets easier and easier for you.

Efficiency

This one is actually pretty close; sort of. All three vehicles offer similar MPG numbers in the city and on the highway. The big difference here is that the Tucson gives you a much larger gas tank at 16.4 gallons, making your stops at the pump far less frequent. That certainly goes a long way in winning over your favor. Simply put, the Hyundai Tucson costs less to purchase than either the Toyota RAV4 or the Honda CR-V, and it also costs less to own. After all, the money you spend is not as crucial as the money you save every day in your new Hyundai Tucson.
