Honda CR-V vs. Hyundai Tucson: Compare Cars

Bengt Halvorson Bengt Halvorson Senior Editor

Compact crossovers like the Honda CR-V and Hyundai Tucson are essentially the new family wagons for many households—and in turn, we've seen almost every automaker step up its game, with progressively better packaging, versatility, and features aimed at the way that these models are truly used today.

The Tucson and CR-V, actually, represent quite different approaches in this market, with the Tucson aiming a bit more at commuters and empty-nesters while the CR-V takes aim directly at families with the current generation of the CR-V.

There's also an Eco model with the 1.6T engine that gets the best mileage in the lineup, at at 26/33/29.

TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2016 Honda CR-V has its priorities in the right place, with lots of space and features—but performance takes a back seat. The 2017 Hyundai Tucson doesn't live on the cutting edge, but it's an attractive, economical crossover SUV that's worth a spot on your shopping list.
