You do an EXTREMELY thorough review. Very nice

@jraheemjefcoat429 10 ай бұрын

Tuscon hands down! It's fresh and modern out of the bunch. I want to stand out, not blend in with the rest of the bland compact SUVs. And let's give it up for Hyundai for tucking the rear wipers for a clean aesthetic in the rear! It is just the simple things to detail that get my attention. I crave innovation, and Hyundai delivers that!

Nice ride. You made a good choice. I just test drove one there other day and was very impressed. Highest quality interior compared to the other cars I drove. I looked at the RAV4, but the interior felt very cheap, and had so many quality issues with Toyota in my past cars that I just couldn’t do it. CR-V was fine, but its CVT wasn’t very smooth and its interior dash was the 4x4 with tablet nailed to it look and not as as high quality as the Tucson, Sportage, or Forester. Poor sales lady was showing us the back end and an interior piece fell off as we were telling her the inside felt a little cheap. Great sales person so wanted to be more impressed than I was.

@HereisHappy Ай бұрын

I purchased the 2024 Tuscon Limited plug in hybrid. I love the ride. Smooth like butter. Inside feels luxurious. Quite. I test drove all 3 above. My previous 2 cars were Prius. I loved my prius but i wanted to get a SUV that drives like a car. The Tucson did it for me. All the bells and whistles. Tucson was the smoothest drive. It just feels so good. And all the safety features really did it for me.

@JHS447 10 ай бұрын

Very comprehensive and helpful video. My wife has a bad back and needs lots of headroom because she raises her seat and uses a cushion. The Tucson has the best headroom without a sunroof, and while the reliability is not quite as good as the Toyota, it has a 5 year warranty which, in my judgment, more than compensates. I am strongly leaning towards the Hyundai. You lose very few features even in the base, “blue hybrid” trim.

@Sleepygarage 9 ай бұрын

I hope you can do it again with the Hybrids using the 2025 models as the Hyundai has SIGNIFICANT improvements to the interior and NVH apparently. Also, including the Kia Sportage Hybrid would be great too but I understand that it is somewhat similar to the Tucson and 4 cars can be quite a bit more tricky than just 3... Keep up the amazing work.

21:20 The Tucson actually has the best hands-free tail gate open system - you just have to be near the door with the key and it opens. I guess it might be disabled on that test car.

@alex99398 8 ай бұрын

At 16:00, the Hyundai interior is nice here, but for 2025, they've facelifted the front (I think it looks a bit more cleaner) but it looks like a completely new interior now. Instead of two separate screens for the cockpit and infotainment, there is one "connected" screen (actually 2 separate screens that appear connected) and introduced more buttons to make it more practical (avoiding the VW issues of late). Personally like the Honda and Tuscon (2025 facelifted model for the interior improvements now - more sound deadening for improved NVH refinement) but all 3 are great.

Got 81K miles out of my last one before the engine blew. And yes, I was on top of maintenance.

All three are great. My personal choice would be either the Tucson Hybrid (but only for the 2025 year given the substantial improvements to the interior layout and ergonomics) warranty, tech and the fact that it's a traditional automatic transmission. A close second would be the Honda CRV and a distance 3rd would be the Toyota.. Dang, that RAV4 horn is almost a dealbreaker alone..

I just test drove the CRV yesterday. It was very fun to drive, but it is about as far from luxury as you can get. Interior was very cheap feeling IMO. The Tucson or Sportage are probably the only 2 in this class that are going to give you that “Luxury” feel. I am going to look at the RAV4 as well, but I have had a lot of reliability issues with Toyota and also not a fan of the looks. But I do want to be as open as possible before spending the crazy prices cars are costing these days.

Anything with a CVT is a no go for me. I've also had a great experience with my hyundai and prev toyotas. I personally would pick the Hyundai with the 2.5 and the Rav doesn't need to be hybrid either. Ravs and Tucson have step transmissions.

@wilsonreynoso6708 5 ай бұрын

This is the best comment on here ! Does not matter which brand but if it has a CVT its a NO GO for me! My 2019 Toyota Rav4 non-hybrid has 160K Miles with no issues. Only oil changes, brakes and tires were my maintenance expense. I do drive 60+ miles for my one way commute and have never average below 30 miles per gallon on a non-hybird. I would skip anything with Turbo, anything with a battery and most definitely CVT for long term ownership. My 2007 Fj cruiser has been a champ as well! I love Honda`s too as I do own a Honda S2000 now since 2004 and my 2023 Civic Type-R, but i definitely would now buy the CR-V with CVT or Rav4 with CVT.

Excellent review. You are good at this. We settled for the 2024 RAV4 hybrid XSE. We have a 2012 Highlander with 180k. Zero problems and everything functions like new. We also have an 2018 Kia Optima. 60k Nice driving car, Kia dealers and service was a joke in my town. Way more recalls and engines really suck. Fires and blown motors all over in many Kia/Hyundai models. Disturbing. Honda CRV was nice especially the interior but it is not the latest Hybrid system. No spare tire! Really?! Deal breaker right there. We pour over Consumer reports every year. All Toyota’s rate amazing and better than Honda and most certainly Hyundai. We drive cars until 250K or more. Reliability is huge. Breakdown and stranded is not fun. Toyota wins. Their engineers and parts are second to none.

Hyundai is the winner backed by their better warranty coverage than other two, including modern look and extra features (for same or less price). If other two were so reliable why not bump up the warranty. I'm not saying other two suck they are not any better if you only buying because of reliability. Toyota and Honda are so behind, technologically speaking, with their dashboard that looks like from 1990s.

Toyota and Honda are in desperate need of updating their design aesthetics inside and out. Fit and finish is also poor in the current generations of both with an abundance of low grade materials.
