This is a Motormouth couple car review comparing the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. The Toyota RAV 4 Hybrid has a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine paired to an electric motor with a CVT producing 219 horsepower and 163 lb-ft of torque.The Tucson Hybrid has a 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a 6 speed automatic paired with an electric motor producing 226 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. AWD only. The RAV4 has a rugged and sporty looking exterior with standard LED headlights, a temporary spare tire, 17” wheels, 18” are standard on the top two trims. Fog lights, a power rear door and a moonroof are standard one up from the base model. The Tucson Hybrid in Amazon Grey is wider, longer and taller than the previous model. It has a distinct and sharp looking exterior with angular body panels and a front radiator grille with dark chrome accents giving this SUV an aggressive look. It comes standard with LED headlights and taillights, a panoramic sunroof, smart power liftgate and 19” wheels. On the top trim you get the LED premium projector type headlights and 19” alloy wheels. You will also notice that the rear wiper is hidden on this model giving it a very clean look. The Tucson does not come with a spare tire, you get a tire repair kit instead. This is where the Tucson shines over the RAV4, it offers more front and rear legroom and cargo space, however, the RAV4 offers more rear headroom. The Tucson comes standard with an 8-inch touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital display instrument cluster Wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a wireless charger, heated leather wrapped steering wheel, heated and ventilated front leather seating surfaces. The top trim gets a 10.25” touchscreen, drivers seat memory and a Bose stereo system Keep in mind, there is no base model in Canada where the RAV4 does have a Hybrid base model. In the US, you do have the base model Blue trim. The RAV4 Hybrid comes standard with a 7” touchscreen, a 4.2” information display, Apple Carplay and Android Auto, cloth seats and heated front seats. The next trim up from the base model comes with more features like a leather wrapped heated steering wheel, a moonroof and the power tailgate. To get a wireless charger, you have to move up another trim level to the XSE with the technology package for $2,830 to get this feature and the 8” touchscreen. This trim also comes with SofTex leather seats and a 7” information display. The top limited trim comes loaded with ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, driver seat memory, 8” touchscreen, the 7” information display and a hands-free power liftgate. Both the RAV4 Hybrid and Tuscon Hybrid offer plenty of interior space for a family.
The Hyundai is bigger though, it has more front and second row legroom.
Half an inch more in the front and 3.5 inches more in the 2nd row. The Tucson has more front headroom by 1 inch but the RAV4 offers more rear headroom by half an inch. The cargo area is spacious for both but the Tucson wins again offering 36 more litres behind the 2nd row and a total of 142 litres more when the seats are down. In total, the Tucson is 1.4 inches longer than the RAV4.
