2025 Hyundai Tucson vs 2025 Honda CR-V
2025 Hyundai Tucson vs Honda CR-V: Which One Truly Delivers More?
Choosing your next compact SUV can be a challenge, especially when two popular options like the 2025 Hyundai Tucson and the 2025 Honda CR-V are both packed with features. But if you're looking for a vehicle that blends smooth performance, smart tech, and everyday comfort, the Tucson stands out in more ways than one. Let’s compare both side by side to see which SUV better fits your life.
Power Meets Confidence
The 2025 Hyundai Tucson has a 2.5-litre Smartstream engine delivering 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. In contrast, the 2025 Honda CR-V has a slightly smaller 1.5-litre turbocharged engine, producing 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque. Tucson is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that gives you smooth, confident handling whether going through the city or taking a weekend trip. It also keeps things efficient, offering up to 8.0 L/100 km on the highway. At the same time, the CR-V is matched with a CVT which can feel less responsive than Tucson’s geared system. Its fuel economy is also good, with highway efficiency rated at around 7.6 L/100 km, but only in select trims. The Tucson offers the kind of smoothness and control that feels just right every time you hit the road. That’s why it's the better pick when you want both comfort and performance wrapped in one.
More Than Space
The 2025 Hyundai Tucson offers up to 2,108 litres of cargo space with the rear seats folded and 1,095 litres with seats upright. The 2025 Honda CR-V gives slightly more, at 2,166 litres folded and 1,112 litres upright. Both vehicles seat five passengers, but Tucson’s seats are wrapped in premium cloth or available leatherette that feels more refined. CR-V’s base materials are simpler unless you move to higher trims. Tucson’s cabin layout is also more functional, with easier access to rear storage and more thoughtful placement of features. Even though the numbers are close, Tucson brings a more comfortable and upscale feel that makes daily use much easier.
Smarter Everyday Living
Inside the Hyundai Tucson, there’s an available 10.25-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an 8-speaker Bose sound system, and a wireless charging pad. You also get available heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated side mirrors. The CR-V includes a 7.0-inch standard screen or a 9.0-inch upgrade on top trims. Wireless smartphone connectivity is only available in certain models. It also lacks ventilated seats and does not offer a branded sound system. Tucson gives you more comfort and smart features at your fingertips. It’s built to make your everyday drive easier and more enjoyable.
Peace of Mind
Both vehicles include modern driver-assist features like Forward Collision-Avoidance and Lane Keeping Assist. But Tucson gives you even more, like Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Driver Attention Warning as standard. Optional features include Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist and Highway Driving Assist. CR-V offers similar tools, but many are only available on top trims. If you want full confidence without needing to upgrade, Tucson gives it to you right out of the gate.
