2025 Hyundai Tucson vs. the Competition
When it comes to the 2025 Hyundai Tucson vs. the competition, it compares most closely to the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-50, and Kia Sportage. Of course, nobody truly compares to Hyundai across all major categories, nor do you have as much revamping with similar nameplates at the level Hyundai does this. Since 2004, this family-style SUV has been a global favorite.
When compared, the Tucson outperforms the Honda CR-V in infotainment, although the CR-V boasts slightly better cargo space. The Toyota RAV4 loses to Tucson in legroom and maximum cargo capacity. For the Mazda CX-50, the Tucson has better standard features, but both offer very competitive hybrids. Lastly, the Kia Sportage will be a little cheaper, although it does not come with as many base-model perks as Tucson, nor does it have a 2,000-pound towing capacity.
