TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Hyundai Tucson hot-swaps one of its 4-cylinder engines, and ups its safety game.

The 2019 Subaru Crosstrek is as plucky as ever, but with more available safety gear this year.

TCC Likes

A simple but appealing look
Refined ride
A quiet cockpit

Great overall package
Off-road capable, on-road comfortable
Plucky feel

TCC Dislikes

Basic SE trim
Smaller cargo area than in rivals
Limited’s the only model for top tech

Mediocre acceleration
Interior is just OK
Manual transmission no thriftier, nor faster than CVT
