2023 Hyundai Tucson vs. 2023 Honda CR-V
Loaded with standard features, and with guaranteed poised handling, the 2023 Hyundai Tucson is one compact SUV you will look up to. Compact as it is, it impresses with a spacious interior too.
In the case of the 2023 Honda CR-V, you will love the comfort provided inside, plus a large cargo hold awaits at the back. Expect a long list of standard driver aids as well.
Design & Style
The 2023 Hyundai Tucson is gifted with a stylish cabin, characterized by a dashboard that seamlessly flows from one door to the other. It has interior panels with plenty of soft-touch plastics, and is well insulated filter noise coming from outside. This is gifted with a cargo area that opens up to 74.8 cubic feet when rear seats are folded. The two-row SUV also accommodates five passengers comfortably with its well-supportive seats and spacious configuration.
The 2023 CR-V looks like its predecessor in terms of exterior design, and like the Tucson, it is loaded with soft touch plastics inside. It is appreciated for also getting up to 75+ cubic feet of space at the cargo area. It has supportive seats to accommodate five people, and is spacious on both rows. It is noticeable that seats at the back are firmer when compared to the ones in front, though, thus compromising comfort.
Technology & Safety
The 2023 Tucson is fitted with an eight-inch touch screen, and an option to avail of the 10.2-inch version in other trims. It has six speakers, two USB ports, an HD radio, and wired smartphone integration. Driver aids standard to the ride are rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, rear-seat alert, driver-attention monitoring, forward collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, adaptive cruise control, forward automatic emergency braking, automatic high-beam headlights, and lane-departure warning with lane-keep assist.
The Honda settles for a seven-inch touch screen display that can only be updated with a nine-inch touch screen for its upper trims. It has six speakers, and two USB ports, but does not offer an HD radio. Safety wise, it has most of the safety features offered by the Tucson, but does not include cyclist and pedestrian detection, as well as adaptive cruise control.
Performance
Under the hood of the base trim for the 2023 edition of the Tucson is a four-cylinder engine that is capable of hitting 187 horsepower. The turbocharged version found under the hood of the base 2023 CR-V scores only up to 190 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
It is noticeable that these two rides hit the same mark in terms of cabin design, but the CR-V is defeated because of the firmer sits at the back. Technology and safety wise, the better score goes to the 2023 Hyundai Tucson. The same thing goes when engine performance is considered. This just means that overall, the Tucson is a better choice over the 2023 Honda CR-V.
