The Honda CR-V and Hyundai Tucson are two incredibly comparable cars. Still, the CR-V is better in many ways. When you look around, you see that compact SUVs are the most popular car class. Almost every other car on the road is an SUV. Compact SUVs look good, drive well, and come equipped with the nicest auto technologies. Few SUVs compete with either the 2021 Honda CR-V or the 2021 Hyundai Tucson.
Honda and Hyundai have similar names and somewhat similar histories. They each have high production rates, and both companies have stories going back to the 1940s. Honda has a slightly better reputation, though. Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, Honda vehicles have been the most popular in several production years. The Honda CR-V is an excellent example of perfection in compact SUVs. It is one reason we sell Hondas at Bob Brady Honda. The 2021 Hyundai Tucson would be a superb choice for life in Decatur, IL, but the 2021 Honda CR-V has the Tucson beat at every turn.
Capacity is an essential factor to consider when shopping for a compact SUV. The 2021 CR-V beats the 2021 Tucson in terms of cargo space (33 cubic feet vs. 31 cubic feet) and passenger space (103 cubic feet vs. 99 cubic feet). That means that passengers will have room to sit without being on top of one another. It also means that there is more room for items in the 2021 CR-V’s rear so that luggage does not interfere with people’s comfort.
You also find more upscale materials inside the 2021 CR-V, giving it a more sophisticated look than the 2021 Tucson. You get more intuitive control of heating and air-conditioning and plenty more features.
The 2021 CR-V and 2021 Tucson come with infotainment touchscreens that are compatible with Apple and Android. In the 2021 CR-V, you can upgrade to a loud 9-speaker system. It gives you a much clearer sound to jam to in Decatur, IL. Each vehicle allows you to access an optional GPS.
The 2021 Tucson comes with two engine options that are weaker than the 2021 Honda CR-V’s one standard engine option. Underneath the CR-V’s hood, you will find a turbocharged four-cylinder that outputs 190 horsepower and is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. It shifts much smoother than the 2021 Tucson with its six-speed automatic transmission. Its engine is also beefier than either Tucson four-cylinder engine (they put out either 164 horsepower or 182 horsepower, depending on the volume).
You can also buy a hybrid 2021 CR-V, which pairs twin electric motors to a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine for 212 ponies. This option maximizes fuel economy, which is already better in the CR-V than the Tucson. In the 2021 CR-V, whether you choose a gas engine or gas-electric combo, you will pay less on your gas bill in Decatur, IL.
Each vehicle has a five-star rating from the National Traffic Highway Safety Administration and Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. They won these accolades by offering the following standard safety features to keep Decatur drivers safe:
Both vehicles are two of the best on the market, but the 2021 CR-V is the obvious choice. Shop our online inventory of new Honda CR-Vs and visit us to test drive one. At Bob Brady Honda of Decatur, IL, you drive home in the car of your dreams.
