With so many popular models on the market, it’s easy to find the best type of body style for your needs. For instance, regular commuters and city drivers may enjoy the size of a sedan, while big families love a large SUV. With the HR-V and Tucson, why not have the best of both worlds?
At first, it may look like the Honda and the Hyundai interiors mirror each other. In fact, they each offer available leather-trimmed seats and available heated front seats for your comfort. With these comfortable interiors, you can drive around for hours without realizing it. However, the similarities stop there.
Plus, each vehicle has standard 60/40 split fold-down rear seats.
As for technology, the standard and available entertainment and tech features in these SUVs will allow you to cruise along and stay connected. Both SUVs offer standard and available:
However, the HR-V has a unique feature you won’t find in the Tucson. This feature is standard speed-sensitive volume compensation, which will adjust the volume depending on your speed and the exterior noise. For instance, as you speed up on the highway and the exterior noise gets louder, your HR-V will automatically raise the volume, so you don’t have to miss a beat.
Whether you’re driving to work or dropping the kids off at school, it’s important to make sure everyone gets to their intended destination safely. Fortunately, SUVs like the HR-V and Tucson come standard with incredible safety features.
When you hop into either of these cars, you can expect plenty of driver-assistance systems to help keep you safe on the road. With the HR-V, you’ll have Honda Sensing®, while the Tucson comes with Hyundai SmartSense.
Similar systems come standard and available in both the HR-V and the Tucson, such as:
It’s clear that both models have safety features that will benefit you. However, only the HR-V offers a multi-angle rearview camera on the standard trim. With the Tucson rearview monitor, you’ll only have one camera view.
Plus, features like Traffic Sign Recognition System and Traffic Jam Assist are only available on the Honda HR-V.
One of the most important specs you’ll come across in your car search is fuel efficiency. Whether you’re driving to work or across state lines, you’ll want to make sure your vehicle makes the best use of your gas. So, which SUV is more efficient?
Both small SUVs come with a 4-cylinder engine across all trims, giving you a nice balance of fuel efficiency and power. However, the HR-V comes out on top as the more efficient ride. See for yourself with this table:
