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.

Great review and comparison guys. My son and I from Sweden both ordered Tucson hybrid in januari top trim level with ECS, panoramic roof, 360 camera and smart parking pacages and got the cars apri 30. Before I made my mind I testdrove the Tucson for 6 days and RAV 4 for 3 days. I felt that Tucson was better in every aspect except fuel economy as you mentioned. Much better handling, riding comfort, quiet cabin, better tech features and more modern and luxury interior. The engine didn't rev like the RAV 4 and sometimes I Couldn't tell if the car was on petrol or on EV mode. I just love driving the car just because it's so fun to drive. Another thing is that Hyundai offers far better warranties than Toyota, 5 year new car warranty with unlimited milage and 8 year battery warranty with 160k km. I have driven the car over 1300 km now and I have averaged between 5,4-5,6 L/100 km which I consider pretty good fuel economy and with time you learn how to drive the car properly to achieve low fuel consumption.
I would have chosen the Tucson if it was available when I bought my Rav4 Hybrid. I was a KIA/Hyundai fan but the only hybrid choice when I bought was Ford & Toyota. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for watching!
As a 2019 Rav4 Hybrid owner I have to admit, the new Tuscon is a great looking car.
We bought a Rav4 hybrid to replace a compact commuter car. The lower entry price, lower fuel economy and ridiculously high resale value made it a no brainer. Good to see some competitors coming to market.
Not sure if hybrid vehicles have a high resale value as the batteries are about to expire.
@@Ken-vl4wk Toyota has 10 year or 240,000km battery warranty. Resale will be just fine.
I have been waiting for this review from any of the automobile channels I watch. You beat them all to it. You also reviewed the engines I am interested in. I am subscribing.
Great review guys! I will take the Tucson 👌 thanks for doing this comparison, love the Channel with comparisons and your reviews together.
Thank you so much!
Big fan of the Tucson- great content as usual folks......well done!
Hey is Tucson reliable? What resale value I will get after 5 years? I just don’t want to jump in Tucson for its interior. I need a proven car that will not only give fuel economy but also daily peace.
i have 2012 Sonata Hybrid still running without a single problem. Amazing car with 6 speed auto. Very Happy with Hyundai
Great, thank you for sharing your positive experience with the Hybrid system.
how many miles mate?
@@Rheisler1475 185k km
Toyota’s for life
1. No turbos can burn more oil
2. Better fuel economy
3. More reliable
4. Stop looking at tech and warranties look at reliable and resell value
"Turbos are designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle (or around 150,000 miles); however, it's possible for them to wear out over time depending on how hard you drive the car and the original build quality of the turbo."
Another stand out video from Zach and Andrea. I really appreciate your focus on this sector of SUV's. It's a very crowded sector and it makes it very difficult to make a decision.
So far, I am leaning towards the Tuscon hybrid. I am waiting on your Santa Fe hybrid video on Saturday and it should seal the deal for me. Stand out points for me in the Santa Fe are all the buttons and the layout. I am worried about, how the same engine will move more weight in the Santa Fe. Please give it a good thrashing on the acceleration.
You guys always seem to point out something I overlooked. I am hoping for the same in your upcoming Santa Fe Hybrid video. PLEASE Make a comparison video between the Sante Fe and Tuscon Hybrids. I think I'll go for the one you guys decide on. No pressure lol! Love you guys!
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it. The Santa Fe Hybrid review drops Saturday and then we will do a comparison between the Tucson Hybrid and Santa Fe Hybrid on Tuesday. Stay tuned, lots to come. :)
I really liked the RAV4...until this came out. It's not even a contest. Tucson is the superior rig. If those extra mpg's are important though, RAV4 has that edge at least.
I wouldn't mind giving up one or two extra mpg for that extra oomph in the horsepower and the torque which leads to better acceleration.
Thank you SOOO much for this video...you pretty much helped me make up my mind in picking the Tucson Hybrid to buy. Your opinion and information on the difference between the the two cars was very informative.
Can’t wait to see the Tucson PHEV
Thank you for a great side-by-side comparison! Also, you two are too cute! ^_^ I went test driving both after watching this and the performance and interior quality of the Tucson Hybrid imo blew the Rav4 hybrid out of the water! Needless to say, I pulled the trigger on the 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited and it's being delivered early next week :D
After 2 months how do you like it?
Congratulations!! I want one too!!
The Tuscan looks amazing! Great design team! Hyundai + Kia is definitely on a roll lately!

You two are really cute together - really enjoy how you work so well together. Great reviews too. I just put a deposit on a Hyundai Tucson Blue. Can't wait!
Nice comparison but I wished you might have included a comparison of the AWD system and which is more capable; the electric AWD system in the RAV4 or the mechanical AWD system in the Tucson. Thanks.
I’m in the market for one of these. My only concern is reliability of the Hyundai hybrid system. Toyota’s system is tried and true. For that reason and resale value I’m leaning towards theRAV4.
If you don't mind driving around a fridge with an underpowered engine, get the RAV4.
@@jillthompson6110 I wouldn’t say 219hp is underpowered lol. Call me old school but I quite like the look of the truck like of the rav as well.
@@ivalterbaptista2305 Got a Tucson Hybrid top trim last week. Overall, it's nicer than the RAV4. Really, its much nicer than the Rav4. But here's the deal, if resale/reliability your #1, you'd kick yourself making a mistake at these prices. So if that's the case, I'd wait and see how Toyota responds next year. It also conveniently allows these Tucson hybrids to age a bit and get genuine reliability ratings.
@@ivalterbaptista2305 Okay, you're old school! Ha-ha!
@@cocheeesebteam8480 agreed. Thanks for the input.
Good comparison team. Andrea smiles at everything. Zach, that's a good thing. If u know Toyota, they don't change things often. One trip to NYC and ull see who has the most dominant hybrid system in taxis. Big win from Hyundai. Honda ur next at bat.
Great objective comparison. Except for Toyota's proven quality, reliability, resale value and "volume knob", there aren't any reasons to choose RAV4 over Tucson. But I have to admit RAV4 LE hybrid is appealing for those who are looking for reliable and efficient transportation. Its a pity Honda doesn't offer CRV hybrid for Canadian.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Nice video :)
I like the Tucson but I’m unsure about the sharp lines on the sides... and like I mentioned before I don’t like the rims. But 18” black spoked rims are optional, which I’d prefer.
Would you consider doing a Genesis GV70 vs Acura RDX aspec showdown when the GV70 arrives?
🇨🇦
The body lines are something you'll have to see in person to consider.
I think this is the first comparison I've seen among respected YT car channels. Thank you! BTW...that floral dress at 4:09 and the previous video looks great on Andrea.
Thank you so much, we really appreciate your kind words, glad you enjoyed the review. Thank you as well about the floral dress :)
The Tucson checks a lot of boxes. Our CX-9 lease is nearly up (great car!) and I love Hyundai’s approach to hybridization. We want power AND all the creature comforts. The gas mileage is a welcomed bonus. The Toyota is a safe bet (safe=boring). Great comparison.
Here in Europe (I'm from Sweden) Hyundai offers 5 year new car warranty with unlimitted milage and 8 year battery warranty or 160 000 km and that's doubble the warranties Toyota offers and in US Hyundai offers additional 10 year power train warranty or 100 000 miles/160 000 km. So when a company gives you that kind of warranties, it means they have pretty good confidence in what they are selling. I choseTucson hybrid over RAV4 hybrid despite that I have been driving Mitsubishis and Toyotas the last 20 years and never had any problems with either of them.
I would go with the Tucson Hybrid Limited. It seems as though many posters fear the reliability of Hyundai. With a full 10 year/ 100k miles powertrain AND Hybrid Battery Warranty ( according to their web site) give me peace of mind. More HP, Torque, heated AND ventilated front seats, Pana Roof, terrific digital graphics, heated rear seats, Standard HTRAC , a better sound system to boot. A 6 AT vs a CVT. One thing I don't think was emphasized was how the Hybrid batteries are charged as You drive?
how about tucson interio white , are those easty to clean in white, thx.
In Tucson is there wireless carplay and you can play movies from your phone and display on the console like IONIQ5?
I was waiting for this comparison - Do you know if both using regular gas and not premium gas because of fuel injected system? Thank yiu for the great review!
Both regular
Regular fuel for both.
I test drove the the RAV4 , Ford Escape and the Tucson hybrids in the afternoon. The Tucson is by the far the more fun, best ride and has the best interior. The RAV4 was smooth enough but the steering feel is a bit mushy. Also, the seats were uncomfortable for a bigger person. The Escape driving feel was great. The acceleration was mefdiocre and the interior bland. It was a delight to drive the Tucson. I am probably going to buy one. I just need to decide between trims.
Henry, good comments form "real" people and real test drives. Personally, aside for $$$$ considerations, I would go for the TOP trim. Always better resale value. Car Makers tend to (at least over the 5 decades of driving / buying cars {I'm 69} ), put all the Engineering and features into the TOL vehicles, and then Cut back from there.
Great thing about Toyota/Ford hybrids (usually) is you get a simple port injected engine; I wouldn’t consider the Tucson because they went with turbocharged/direct injected engine which will certainly be less reliable.
Also that touch-screen HVAC/infotainment on the Hyundai looks nice, but I suspect it’d be a nuisance IRL.
I tested the the Tucson hybrid last week and thought the buttons would be a pain to use, but it turned out to be as easy as using my phone touch screen. The radio controls on the steering wheel helped a lot as well.
I'll be buying one of these Tucsons in 3 years if the reliability checks out and hopefully with a big savings.
Good idea. Wait and see how turbo + hybrid reliability checks out. Hyandai has fairly low resale value so you'll likely get for 50%+ off original cost.
I hope it does well because it's a terrific hybrid system.
Everything is terrific when it's brand new
I see the 2011-2015 Sonata hybrid around my nieghborhood and on the highway sometimes. I'd say Hyundai's hybrid system reliability is fine.
@@sphong0610 The Tucson hybrid setup is very different from the hybrid setup on the Sonata and even Hyundai IONIQ
So what I’m hearing is… wait and see about Hyundai reliability or get a Toyota today. Yep, sounds about right.
I can share I have enjoyed Toyota ownership and service far more than I did my previous Hyundai.
THEN U NEED A NEW HYUNDAI
The data from JD Power from Consumers reports states that Hyundai reliability is on par or better than Toyota, I am a bit biased as I just don’t like driving Toyotas but it seems as though the famed Toyota reliability is a bit of an urban myth, anecdotally I enjoyed excellent reliability for over 15years (2 cars) of VW ownership , but the overall data sets is likely a more accurate story and I would have a hard time saying that North American VWcars have good reliability. Having said that the higher resale value is a quantifiable benefit that is mostly derived from overall popularity and reputation.
Love the look of the Tucson hybrid. That might be my next vehicle!
I have the new Hyundai Tucson 2022. And I have to say is a relaxing drive. The handling, the quietness in the cabin are even soothing.
I can hardly wait the whole two minutes for Hyundai to restyle the Tucson! Like most of it, just not crazy about the origami-styled sides.
which one has less cabin noise and if compared with CR-V hybrid, less cabin noise among three.
Thanks for the video. I have tested both SUV and Tuson response much quicker, quieter and more refined while the RAV4 feels loud and struggling to pickup the power. I wish the power folding mirrors were standard on Tuson. I am hoping and waiting for KIA to introducing their new 2022 Sportage soon with a lower entry price to compete with RAV4 pricing while provide more knobs and physical buttons in their infotainment and overall system like they usually do since Hyundai is more about "Marden Style aka Labral" and KIA is more often focused on "Traditional Functionality aka Conservative". Great videos.
Are you testing both with the hybrid version?
@@timmyGTA yes, actually I tested the 2021 Sienna as well and all were hybrid version since I am only interested in hybrid vehicles only.
@@Jeo-What thanks for clarifying. it's marvelous how Hyundai can pack so much into the Tucson at this price point
Hidden wiper looks good but doesn't work nearly as good as one's mounted on bottom. Tops wipers pull water up which ends up falling back down over window (annoying in our 4runner).
Can confirm on Tucson... But wife is convinced tucked under will be a real time saver in winter.
I’m considering buyer on of these. Lack of a spare tire on Tuscon is a real concern, not crazy about touch less screen or the bold lines. Also lack of spare tire on Tuscon is a real concern. If the hole in the tire is bigger than a pencil eraser or if the damage is on the sidewall tire repair kit doesn’t work and you will be stranded. Could be real issue if you’re in a rural area with limited cell service or driving at night.
I think it comes with a tire mobility kit. Just enough to get you to a shop.
@@doudymac You’re assuming the tire can be repaired. Tire kit is useless if the tire shredded.
@@CJ-ul6hm That's true. But the most common flat tire issue is a puncture.
Please compare the Venza and the Santa Fe hybrids... 🙏🏿
I bought Tucson. I am very satisfied.
I got my mine this week
Mine is coming on November
@@sophiep7155 any issues or complaints 2 months in? I reserved the PHEV but I'm still torn between that or Rav4 Prime
@@SimplyCali619 no issue at all
Did you take the Tuscon on the highway? I'm curious what the highway passing power is like, especially when the battery is depleted.
@Hugh MacIsaac The reason I ask is because I drive over a mountain range when visiting family so if the hybrid doesn't have much power for driving over mountain ranges at highway speeds using only the gas engine then I would likely opt for the 2.5T engine.
I sold my 2018 rav 4, resale papers after 2years 6months and 2 accidents, I was offered less buying price with 354 $ waiting for my 2021 hybrid premium With added Features in July.
Darn! I was very, very impressed until I heard there was only a tire repair kit. They did everything else so well. Darn!
If I remember one of the videos I watched about Tucson hybrid, there is a space for a spare tire. Maybe you can just buy one aftermarket? Or perhaps buy the spare tire of the none hybrid version from the dealer.
@@aliceandcat2228 Yes, the non-hybrid does come with a spare, so perhaps it was that models review you’re remembering. If there actually is space for one in the hybrid you’d think they’d have a spare on the accessories list. This lack similar broad thinking by manufactures is a bit of an obsession of mine.
Yeah!!! Reliability is the burning question.
Good comparison. 👍
how about tucson interio white , are those rasty to ckean in white
I would prefer the Tucson with its turbo engine and conventional automatic. I just wish it had the RAV4 resale. The Tucson is very enticing for first time phev consumers.
Absolutely! If it's reliable and stands the test of time, resale value will be better as well. But for now, it's the RAV4 Hybrid for the win for resale value.
They are just as reliable as Toyotas. I have 2013 Elantra with 160K mileage and still runs like a clock with no check engine light
Awesome video Andrea! Again I’ll take Tucson. 👍🏻👊🏻
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
@@andreaspencer9813 You are very welcome Andrea! I did enjoyed it. 👍🏻
Having driven both (and having eventually chosen the Rav4 Prime) I prefer the Tucson for sensible packaging of features at any given price-point, for real world fuel economy which is actually better than the Rav4 despite this review, the towing capacity (although I have the Prime which is rated for 2500lbs), the extra leg room in the back, superior warranty, sleeker, sexier appearance, better use of LEDs for lighting and indicators and a slight bump in power. What I don't like about the Tucson Hybrid is the turbo. This is just one more layer of complexity and one more piece of technology to go wrong. Toyota will certainly need to up their game because Hyundai have created a credible, serious contender. In the USA I would choose the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited as having a superior feature set to the (roughly equivalent) Toyota Rav4 Hybrid Premium.
The difference is like 10k in price though. You definitely get what you pay for
@@williamjoseph1300 The gap has widened since I bought mine. Plus we got the $7,500 tax credit.
Thoughts on the type of motors between these two? I've heard concerns with pairing a turbo with a hybrid for long term use.?? Thoughts?
Consumer report mentions complaints. I’m not sure if it is the turbo issue.
Just ordered my Tucson N-Line S in the UK. It's going to be a long 4 weeks wait
Awesome, congratulations! - Andrea
I had a 2018 Tuscon (until a recent accident 😞 ) really enjoyed the ride. I just can't get on board with the new front end on new Tuscon designs. I find it so ugly. I also dislike the chrome trim that goes across the top and extends right to the back. Maybe I'm just too picky, but will have to look at another brand of suv for our new car.
The Kia version is coming out soon. Look for the Kia Sportage, it will have a different look.
I'm Torn between the Tuscon Hybrid and the Escape Hybrid; Can You Help Me 🤔🇺🇸😎
doesn't hyundai and Kia have some serious engine (fire) issues ? They'bve made some great strides but man fire issues are really killers.
And engines falling apart for reliability you cant compare Hyundai to toyota
I'd like to try Hyundai Tucson this time. They're rapidly growing "dark horse". like the design and better interior, info-tech. 10 years is long enough warranty.
bored RAV or CRV...
Thanks for the review. I'm literally trying to choose if I should get rav4 XSE or Tucson hybrid limited.
In my opinion:
Rav4 interior is oldish, exterior design is beautiful if you get XSE trim.
New Hyundai Tucson: Very techy car, beautiful interior design, and an exterior design you might love or just say okay. Beautiful moonroof. Something I didn't like was too much glossy around.
If you rather interior design then Tucson. If you want Sportish exterior design the Rav4 XSE (not other trim please, as those are ugly).
Team Motormouth, We have to credit Hyundai for getting into the fuel efficient, hybrid CUV game. Having said that, we know Toyota is the King of Hybrids with an unrivaled track record of reliability and the RAV4 is made in Canada. Potential customers know how hard they work for their money so they can buy a proven product that directly benefits the Canadian economy or a work in progress built in parts unknown. BTW the tow capacity for the RAV4 Hybrid is 1,750 lbs. Fun Fact: In Australia you can buy a Hyundai Tucson Highlander.
My dad has a 2009 RAV4, he loads more than car suggested, he tows more than the car suggested he had a check engine light on for over 3 years nothing destory a toyota until someone t-bone the car. I have 6 year prius and 2 year tacoma, not a single issue.
@@btcbull My Toyota Vibe is 16 years old. It has had 3 unscheduled repairs over its lifetime.
I love watching your videos! But you are giving US pricing and packaging and then your taking about the Canadian 🇨🇦 not US warranty in the Hyundai. Your should put both Canadian and American pricing n packages and the US/Can warranty information. Hyundai US has a MUCH better warranty in both Canada and US. Especially the US! Also you can talk about where they r manufactured as the Rav4 is made in Canada vs Tuscan in The USA
Totally agree. I get so confused about which dollars they're referring to, Canadian or US?
I just got the 2022 Tuscon Limited (US) yesterday. I love it already. The acceleration is amazing, and the interior is bordering on elegant. I feel like I'm driving a car the should cost $20K more. Hyundai and Kia are really giving the Japanese a run for their money.
How much did you pay drive out? They seem to cost more than the other most reliable well known brands.
jsn, Did you get the Tuscon Hybrid?
Wife had the previous generation Santa Fe and we went through 2 engines before the warranty expired. My wife’s friend had one and the engine caught fire while driving so the car burnt pretty much to the ground.
My Neighbor had a Tucson previous gen and had engine replaced once and tranny another time in the few years she owned it.
Reliability Rav4 vs Tucson is not even a fair comparison.
Watch in few year when u will have problems and lose value when u sell it
What is exactly a tire repair kit
I thought you were going to compare the Tucson to the Toyota RAD4 as you mention Monday?
Your screenshot said RAD4
You caught that!
I was wondering if anyone saw that....lol!
@@andreaspencer9813 No need to wonder anymore...By the way great show, one suggestion dump the husband...lol
Hyundai certainly improved a lot with their aesthetic and interior design! But i won't be choosing hyundai anytime soon until their reliability improves.....i've done research and look at their worst recalls are Tucson series with their engine fire hazard all over the place.
Agreed
Where do I go online to see what kind of recalls Hyundai and Toyota have had?
Amazing that we live in a time where people complain about a rav4s Interior not being luxurious enough 🤣 10 years ago that didn’t matter at all
How is the NVH (noise, vibrations, harshness) in the RAV4? I remember when this new generation first came out, a lot of publications said the NVH in the RAV4 was unbelievably bad, all kinds of road noise coming into the cabin, especially at highway speeds. Whereas Hyundai, more specifically the Genesis brand, has been doing amazing work and producing some of the quietest vehicles on the road, even beating out the BMW X7 and Mercedes S Class with the G80/G90 for low NVH according to measurements by some auto publications, and I am wondering if that has trickled down to the Hyundai products. Bottom line, I like cars that have quiet interiors.
What is your opinion then on cars that pipe in engine noise
My aunt owns a Rav4. I’d give the Noise about a 2/10. Toyota could have really made it quieter. Its very loud upon acceleration. Id give the Vibration a 4/10. Could be better. Harshness a 3/10. Its very sluggish and sometimes jerks A LOT but it gets the job done. Overall I prefer the Tuscon.
@@wyw201 Not a huge fan overall, but it's okay as long as they give you the option of adjusting or turning it off altogether, which very few cars do.
@@branden9366 Not surprising. Drove two 2018 Camry's with the 8-speed auto and they were both incredibly jerky as well at low speed, felt like a VW Group DSG transmission.
@@mattspeer01 I think for NVH EVs are the way to go, no noise from the electric motor.
Tucson is so impressive, but what is bothering me is, the recent recalls on 2021 Tucson that involves fire risk. What if some of those problems crept into 2022?? 🤔
As long as Hyundai recalls and fix the issue, I don't see the problem.
@@elliex20 Right. The thing is, right now Hyundai (and Kia too) is dealing with such a gigantic number of recalls, there are long delays in recall noticing and servicing. The issue is not peripheral, it is engine fire due to short circuit in ABS system. They have asked customers to park their car away from structures until their cars receive the recall notice/service. There is a likelihood the 2022 model would inherit the 2021 ABS (although many other aspects are freshly designed). So I am not sure I should park my new car in my garage or not.
Ah, then I understand your plight.
@@elliex20 you don’t see a problem with a car spontaneously combusting?
Has anyone read anything about whether Toyota has figured out a real fix for the gas tank issue on the RAV4 Hybrid, where the tank couldn't be filled to its full 14.X gallon capacity?
it was fixed yes according to people on the rav4club reddit and other sites
@@pulkpullrevolving That issue was also resolved sometime ago, there is a tsb update for it. So if someone still has issue they should have the dealer update it.
Tucson long version 4630 is longer than RAV4 4600 but short version is 4500. Short version is made for Europe and Middle East
I'm a base model shopper so it is the Rav4 for me.
In cold Canadian winters in the rav4 you will freeze your butt off, I'm unsure about the Hyundai. Reliability will be a key issue!!!
There's heated seat with the rav4 though isn't there
Bought the Tucson Limited Hybrid after comparing it to the Lexus nx, the Acura , and Mercedes glb. I own a 2021 BMW X3. This Tucson offers way more for a lot less. It’s incredible for the price!
Any issues or complaints? I'm really torn between rav4 prime and tucson phev
@@SimplyCali619 I think that the quietness of the cabin and smoothness of the ride really sold me. The negatives are nitpicking.
@@SimplyCali619 I am in the similar boat. R4Prime vs Tuscon PHEV. Rav4 Prime's wait times are brutal.
Also on the same boat, liked the refinement and value of the Tucson PHEV but can't beat the range/power and the drive train of the RAV4 Prime. I just found out that Tucson PHEV is actually slower than the hybrid
@@timmyGTA Range is fine too. But only concern is how would the TURBO engine of Tuscon PHEV do with an electric battery. It has no history....and the amount is not small.
With Turbo I doubt it would be as reliable as Toyota’s tried and true Hybrid system.
Hyundai & Kia are aggressively building and improving but I've been burnt once from a ticking time bomb Kia engine that they ignore after warranty and class action suits continue. I would not own one after warranty and resale value will suffer for years to come. GDI turbo is even more likely to cost you big before 200K. Meanwhile the RAV Hybrids are going strong beyond 400K. So many people now days rent, lease, replace within 5 years and will be ok but I will stick with what I confidently can keep for longer without it costing big.
I m more of concerned with value of money and looking to get elantra hybird
I always thought that the Santa Fe was in the RAV4 segment.
Just wondering how the Tuscon would stack against the CR-V
No spare tire is a tough sell for a lot of people. No way I'd travel outside of town without a spare!
How often have you needed a spare tire? In my 47+ years of driving I have never needed to use a spare tire.
@@richardb9591
Well, you never know. If you ever end up by the side of road because your tire fails and you don't have a spare, you're gonna feel like a dummy
@@richardb9591 I needed a spare twice within two weeks on my current car.
Lack of a spare doesn't detract from me wanting to buy a Tucson Ultimate Hybrid, which is clearly the superior vehicle in this comparison. A lot of cars don't have a spare nowadays. It's a non-issue for me. I have never removed the spare from the many vehicles I've owned in 47+ years of driving.
@@richardb9591
You said that already. We're paying attention
A lot of manufacturers do forgo spare tires nowadays. That's why I appreciate those that don't. I'd prefer to support automakers that don't nickle and dime their customers.
I hope they bring the hybrid to the Santa Cruz.
Bring on the Venza Hybrid for comparison, RAV4 is not really Tucson's competition at this point..
If I traded vehicles every four or five years, I would buy the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. But I keep my new vehicle for ten or more years, so it's the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid for me!
really don't like the low roof and lack of height of this model - other than that nice
I got my Blue Trim Tucson Hybrid I don’t need all the Bells & Whistles I bought it for Fuel Economy😀
I traded a 2019 Kona 2.0 in
The Toyota is, obviously... the logical choice. It would make a great toaster... a great wife/husband. Reliable, goes to work everyday, dependable...but that is not what Life is about. The Joy is in the ‘Ride’. Passionate people will always make illogical decisions (like.. buying a Porsche GTS Cayenne with a manual transmission - one of only a handful left on our Planet... and you do love our Planet right?). I say stick to the Hyundai in this category, if you are sincerely passionate (the more daring should upgrade to the Alfa Romeo!)... and value ... and embrace your uniqueness. The Toyota will eventually get boring and kill that love, and then all you’ll think about is ‘how much she’s worth’ when you ‘trade her in’. Thanks for another comparison video.
I too, bought a 2001 E38 740i (w/M-Sport pig) SWB and then (because a perfect deal showed up.. an opportunity) bought my Carrera... and I’m still happily married!
Toyota would make more sense in a two car situation where one is a dependable hauler and another is a joy ride. I certainly don't want kids leaving footprints in my sports sedan.
I somewhat disagree... those footprints show that you love living life with your Family along for the ride. I put up with dog hair, my baby has to along... and the sand. I understand your point though. But thats also why I leave my cats behind.
Hmmmm who buys a Porsche GTS Cayenne with a manual transmission....wow AND in Nordic Gold to boot....lol! You only live once, right?
If you live right... once is enough!
thx your commet
I prefer the exterior of the Rav 4 but the interior and features of the Tucson.
Escape hybrid?
If you're only planning to keep the car only while in warranty period it's just a matter of what you like ...keep it longer it's roll of the dice with the Hyundai.
RAV4 has the best hybrid system in the segment The smoothness & refinement is an uncomparable Nice comparison review
You'd be surprised to hear from other reviewers that state the RAV4 system is relatively clunky in comparison to the new Tuscan. I would recommend Motograph World CZcams channel!
@@OutLivex I don't rely on reviews alone I'm more confident with my 52 yrs of driving & ownership experience
@@limpunsing224 Then you simply can't say the RAV4 is the best in the segment if you've not tried others.
@@limpunsing224 HAHAHA
@@OutLivex ABSOLUTELY CORRECT
Nice! Like the Hyundai
*Actually, bought something after seeing this video*
coming from Fully loaded '08 Camry Hybrid. We waited for years, & found that "unicorn" The oldest is going 2 be going north 2 snow-country for school, with that back & forth looking for winter/AWD (&In-car nav,don't ask!), That meant WAY $$ Trim-level on the rav4 (the Limited)still No leather, lame sound - the Interior is slack! the Hyundai is luxurious by all comparisons. The longevity of the cushy feel depends on care; prone to rattles/warps 2 plastics over time & no re-sale. buy it love it to death for 6-7years? or abuse it for 3(?) But the 'tightness' the feel of the matching forces not overwhelming the platform, is highly seductive, not as efficient in hilly terrain(Not a Turbo 'fan') . . . . Then after 5yrs ~ & driving every SUV in the field, on 5/13 a thursday~> Another Unicorn (PealWhite, 19k mile '18 rav4-Limited, $28,8)At these prices Color, radio, interior luxury, all of it is facade I have been "Barcelona-Red" Gun-Metal Silver & Galaxy black. I Like a nice feel & muffled interior sound but never compromise value for those things that wear-out/reduce over time.
Very nice review! The 2nd child needed that 1/2 inch of additional headroom 2!
The Hybrid Platform, once the domain of the "Glorified Golf-Cart, is now fully over-powered the way Americans like things & has found its sweet-spot in the 'on-hi-way & by-way, city on-ramps & suburban neighborhoods & 150 miles a day averages, in today's life-styles,(Only elec/Hybrid were considered )
Was thinking of getting a Q3 until I saw this...
Same, and now I’m so conflicted 😐
Not in the same league
Talk about apples and oranges...
The RAV4 petrol engine is so buzzy and unrefined, it makes anything other than gentle acceleration a very unpleasant experience.
Tucson for sure.
I would wait for Tuscon reliability and real world mpg. Want to make sure it doesn't catch on fire after a few years. Would probably go for the Venza instead. Too bad because I do like the looks of the Tuscon.
Why do cars not come with a spare tire? Do these people know that some people have true tire punctures that you cannot repair? Get yourself a spare tire if you buy one of these cars with no spare. You may be stranded on a road trip on a desolate area if you do not have a true spare.
If only Toyota can design a better car, lately even the Lexus brand looks ugly. Shame. Or maybe they're doing it on purpose to give rivals a chance in the market?
Andrea is gorgeous! Zack is ok.
Tucson needed to stand out in an ocean RAV4 and CR V.
Lease the Tucson for the looks. Buy the RAV4 for long term value.
Hyundai also provides three years of service Toyota does two years
