Compact crossovers such as the 2024 Honda CR-V and the 2024 Hyundai Tucson are excellent choices for small families needing a new vehicle. Their compact dimensions lend themselves well to daily commuting in urban areas and taking long trips.
The 2024 CR-V builds on the sixth-generation model that debuted for the 2022 model year. Honda has introduced a new trim called the Sport-L for the 2024 model year, which brings more comfort and technological features. The 2024 Tucson is based on 2020’s sixth-generation model and receives some minor improvements.
In this compact crossover comparison, we’ll evaluate the 2024 CR-V vs. Tucson in terms of interior, performance, and safety attributes. And if you want to see the new CR-V in the metal, contact the Ascension Honda sales team. You can schedule a visit to our showroom in Gonzales, LA, and test drive the 2024 CR-V.
The 2024 CR-V and the 2024 Tucson have identical passenger cabins. Each compact crossover can seat up to five adults across two rows. However, Honda has paid close attention to ensuring optimal passenger comfort. The front seats have been redesigned to offer improved ergonomics and reduce driver fatigue. The rear seats can be reclined for added comfort.
The size of the trunks of the 2024 CR-V and the 2024 Tucson is comparable. But the 2024 CR-V has a versatile split-folding rear seat that unlocks more cargo space. Additionally, non-hybrid CR-V trims offer a height-adjustable trunk floor for even more cargo space.
The 2024 CR-V and the 2024 Tucson are well-equipped in terms of technology. Both compact crossovers come with standard Apple CarPlay® Android Auto™, as well as automatic climate control. They offer dual-zone climate control on higher trims, as well as larger touchscreens, powered and heated front seats, plus wireless phone chargers. Honda also offers an optional 12-speaker Bose surround sound system for the 2023 CR-V.
Depending on trim, Honda equips the 2024 CR-V with a gasoline or a gasoline hybrid powertrain. The gasoline powertrain utilizes a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that’s also found in other Honda vehicles. This engine develops 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque. A CVT gearbox is standard across the range, as is front-wheel-drive. However, buyers can choose an optional all-wheel-drive system.
Honda offers the hybrid powertrain exclusively on higher trim levels of the 2024 CR-V. This powertrain combines a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine with an electric motor and a 1.1-kilowatt-hour battery pack. Generating up to 204 horsepower and 247 pound-feet of torque, a direct-drive transmission system sends power to the front wheels. Buyers can also select an all-wheel-drive system.
The 2024 Tucson also includes regular gasoline and gasoline hybrid powertrains. Regular gasoline variants are powered by a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine. Developing 187 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque, it uses an 8-speed automatic transmission to power the front wheels. Buyers can choose an optional all-wheel-drive system.
Then, the 2024 Tucson comes with two hybrid offerings. Both see a 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and an electric motor combined with a six-speed automatic transmission. The regular hybrid variant boasts 226 horsepower, while the plug-in hybrid can provide 261 horsepower. All 2024 Tucson hybrids feature all-wheel-drive as standard.
2024 Honda CR-V features Honda’s latest Sensing® suite of active and passive driver assistance features. Highlights include forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and autonomous emergency braking. The 2024 Tucson also offers many of these features as standard.
In this Honda vs. Hyundai shootout, we’ve got to recommend the 2024 CR-V. It offers a versatile, more comfortable cabin and an impressive suite of standard safety features. Furthermore, it can keep pace with the 2024 Tucson despite having less power on paper.
