The 2024 Hyundai Tucson and the Honda CR-V have been returned for the 2024 model year. For 2024, Hyundai brought about a few adjustments to the Tucson’s features, making the vehicle stand out even more. Honda on the other hand has made some significant improvements to the CR-V, making it differ a lot from the 2023 model.
In this article, we’ll be looking at the 2024 Tucson and the CR-V, their features, and which of them is better to buy.
Overview of the 2024 Hyundai Tucson
For 2024 the Tucson brings new safety features to the table, such as all-occupant seatbelt reminders, rear-side airbags, and steering-wheel haptic feedback to alert the driver to warnings from the lane-keeping assist and blind-spot monitoring systems. Hyundai has built its reputation on value and bang for the buck. But its designs are an unsung contributor to the brand’s popularity. From the sleek Sonata of a decade ago to the quirky, swept-back Veloster hatchback, Hyundai’s design leaps may be as important as its abundant features and attractive prices. For a compact SUV, the 2024 Hyundai Tucson makes a great impression.
The Tucson, Hyundai’s small crossover SUV, was redesigned in 2022, and its doors pop with bulges and wedges, and sharp lines extend from the front doors to the rear taillights. A wide-slatted grille is complemented by segmented LED accent lights and the roof tapers to the back for a sporty look. Exciting design won’t save a bad car, though, and fortunately, Tucson is a good car.
It’s roomy and comfortable, with good headroom in front and rear rows, a minimal and classy interior, and abundant cargo space that’s among the best in the class. The Tucson’s standard four-cylinder engine is painfully slow, but fortunately, an available turbocharged hybrid powertrain gives the Tucson plenty of punch plus an EPA-estimated 37 mpg in combined driving.
Tucson’s wild style and ample interior space make it a top consideration among competitors such as the Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-50, Nissan Rogue, and Toyota RAV4.
