For everyone wondering about Hyundai durability. I bought a 2013 fully loaded Elantra in 2014...200k miles, and now my son is driving it. It won't die! We were so impressed that we bought my wife a 2024 Palisade...best vehicle I have ever owned. On a side note...be nicer to your cameraman, or you're gonna get locked in. 😅
I have a Tucson PHEV ultimate. Fully loaded tech, super quiet while driving, and the best part I average over 2000 kms per tank of gas. I can go months without filling it
Japanese car fanboys always say that the resale value is much better, and rightfully so since they paid more in the first place, and I think car technology is leveling off. Tucson is a better choice.
The value percentage drops at an incredible speed with any Korean cars (I had several hyundai and kia). If I had to buy a 5 years old car to keep it for 5 more years, it would be a mistake not to go with a Japanese car. The reliability is just better. If I want a car filled up with technology, bad materials, not particularly reliable engines, and not timeproof design, then hyundai is the option to go if I want to save some money. If I want a more reliable car, better materials, more driving feelings, better resale value, lower maintenance cost, and more practical car, not considering Honda is a mistake
Thanks Sam for the review. Great job! Which one to choose for better driving experience, which one is better driver’s car? And of course since these are family cars which one will be better for long term ownership, more reliable, and efficient maintenance? Thank you!
@@SamCarLegion Can you provide the reasons, the reason I'm afraid of the Tucson is reliability - and yeah the Outlander has the more advanced AWD system and more space and range
@@KO-sx9uyI would be more worried on why you would pick a subaru over a hyundai. Kia & Hyundai started to fix their reputation in 2011. They got one of the main guys from Audi at that time and ever since then, they have completely turned around to be a great car manufacturer especially when you factor in price. Kia also has really good safety ratings on their cars. They used to have engine/transmission issues over the years but that’s all being fixed as time as passed. I will admit they steal/mimic designs from bmw, audi, mercedes, porsche,etc but in a good way to make the car feel even more premium for what you pay. Quality isn’t exactly like theirs but you would be surprised on some of the build quality on certain models. Lastly I’ll end off with recommending the Kia Sportage HEV. My mom has one and wow fully loaded with amazing gas mileage and decent space for $40k
Amazing Review Sam! It would be nice to compare Rav4 hybrid to these 2 as well. Also, can’t wait for 2025 Hyundai Tucson, refreshed look and new interior which will destroy the competition.
You do the same thing as me! I push on the plastic cladding on the outside of vehicles too. The RAV4 and Ford Escape bend all over the place and are very thin. I haven’t tested out the Honda but now I don’t have to. The Tucson is very solidly constructed inside and out.
@@SamCarLegion Yes, I see that. Very poor fit and finish. That’s a deal breaker for me when I see that kind of poor quality. I don’t pay for just a powertrain when I lease or buy vehicles. I expect and want high quality/comfort, current technology, and up to date design throughout. Otherwise, I would just go out and buy a powertrain if that was all I was looking for. 🤔
@@raphaelfrancis4509Given the specs of the car yes, it is decent... don't compare it with a 400hp SUV You can overtake without any issue Tucson is noticeably slower. Actually korean cars are the slowest in acceleration test versus any Japanese model. For example a 243hp 2.5 hybrid toyota Sienna is noticeably faster than a 290hp 3.5 v6 kia carnival
No spare tyre ! Why is no-one talking about this. What happens if out of mobile range and a tyre gets more than a small puncture that cannot be fixed by the repair kit. Bye bye
I was just driving a 2024 CRV Hybrid Touring and while it was comfortable and felt solid, it was slow and over my 250 km trip I only managed 9L per 100km (26 mpg). I can see why the first owners traded it in at my work with only 7k on it lol.
My wife had a 2021 CRV Touring, it was stolen and we just got her a 2024 CRV Touring Hybrid. Really love the new 2024 but I don't get why they got ride of the panoramic sunroof. Outside of that, fantastic SUV
Well, even Honda’s reliability in recent model years is now under question. I feel bad for people that pay more for so much less of a vehicle. A friend of mine bought a new CR-V ICE this past July, right when I got my ICE Tucson. One night out, we compared vehicles and it was embarrassing. I literally felt bad for him and rather guilty because everything about my vehicle was infinitely better inside and out. Obviously he didn’t shop around and looked rather depressed that he made such a big purchase when he could have gotten so much more. I feel very fortunate to have my Tucson and to have received a great deal on it.
I just paused the Tuscans interior shot...Bro that is horrific lol That is the ugliest Infotainment system in all cars. Plus...Everytime I Uber in a CRV I the car says premium everything.
Called my insurance company to find out rates on both. My insurance company said there is a $500 premium for the CRV as it is the most stolen vehicle in Canada. If I install a GEO tracker I would waive the premium charge, but the tracker costs per month.
I recently got a 2024 Tucson Hybrid N-Line after comparing with the CRV Hybrid. Still kind of nervous about the long-term ownership, I’ve been a Toyota guy for past 25 years….not getting anywhere near the promised MPG, more like 31-32.5, based on driving the hilly San Diego terrain, and even doing more city driving than I would to try and get better efficiency…I guess you get over 35 if you only drive on totally flat terrain, or 38 if your commute is downhill both ways??? C’mon Hyundai…they’ve been sued before over dishonest MPG advertising. Other than that I do enjoy the vehicle. The CR-V seemed a little more sluggish and I just can’t commit to CVTs.
Yeah, that sounds about right. They base their MPG on driving in optimal conditions, temperatures, and driving like a grandmother on the highway. Either way, it’s still better than the ICE MPG so that’s nice. And the Tucson is the best vehicle in its class otherwise. Along with the Sportage. All the rest look and feel like scrap metal and plastic from Japan.
It is true I was involved in an accident in April my 23 Limited Tuscon the whole front end removed at a 4 way collision with all the sensors, chips, and wires it was over 20k to replace just that my car was worth more than that and i owed less than what it was worth so the insurance totaled it. With all the tech inside of hyundai's vehicles drive up its worth and value, so i can totally back you on this because its not not cheap to recalibrate the safety features back to their original working order and the parts won't be cheap.
CR-V is much better. It looks better, drives better, has a much better hybrid system, is much more reliable, etc. That's why it's the best-selling vehicle in its class, besting even the RAV4.
Lol! The Tucson is not even in the same universe as the CR-V. 😆 CR-V is much better. It looks better, drives better, has a much better hybrid system, is much more reliable, etc. That's why it's the best-selling vehicle in its class, even besting the RAV4.

good point there
It's not a better choice judging by the technical side and the interior materials
