The Honda CR-V vs Hyundai Tucson comparison brings together two compact SUVs with spacious interiors, available all-wheel drive, and modern technology. Learn which is right for you, thanks to this comparison from Gillman Honda San Benito.
More Horsepower From the Gas Engine
The gasoline Honda CR-V uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 190 horsepower. By comparison, the Hyundai Tucson uses a larger 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 187 horsepower. That gives the Honda CR-V a slight horsepower advantage despite having a smaller-displacement engine. Both SUVs offer available all-wheel drive, with the Honda CR-V using Real Time AWD™ and the Hyundai Tucson offering HTRAC AWD.
More Standard Charging Convenience
Both SUVs provide wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, but the Honda CR-V goes further by making a wireless phone charger standard. Hyundai lists wireless phone charging as unavailable on the Hyundai Tucson SE, SEL, SEL Plus, and XRT. It does not become standard until the SEL Premium and Limited trims. This gives every Honda CR-V access to cable-free smartphone charging without requiring a move to a higher trim.
A More Powerful Premium Audio System
For buyers who prioritize audio quality, the highest Honda CR-V trims also have a numerical advantage. The Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid features a Bose® premium sound system with 12 speakers. The available Bose® system in the Hyundai Tucson uses eight speakers. The four additional speakers give the Honda CR-V a more extensive premium audio configuration.
