There are plenty of options on the market if you're looking for a pre-owned sport utility vehicle, especially models from the past four or five years. In the last couple of years, the compact SUV segment has really expanded and two particular models have been at the center of this expansion: the Hyundai Tucson and the Honda CR-V. There is a good chance you have a pre-owned Honda CR-V or a used Hyundai Tucson on your shopping list if you are looking for a used SUV. Here, we compare pre-owned SUV options based on their versatility, performance, reliability, dependability, and efficiency.
Better performance in a pre-owned Honda CR-V model
Under the hood, there are a few differences between a pre-owned Honda CR-V and a used Hyundai Tucson. A pre-owned Honda CR-V features a 1.5-litre turbo-litre four-cylinder engine with 190 hp and 179 pound-feet of torque. On the other hand, used Hyundai Tucson models will usually feature a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with 161 hp and 150 pound-feet of torque. The difference isn’t huge, but it is noticeable. It is especially noticeable when you are behind the wheel.
Fuel economy is the first factor we want to examine here. There is no doubt that compact SUVs are popular primarily because of their interior space and versatility, and that is why you were looking for a used compact SUV to begin with. However, with fuel prices on the rise, you do not want to have to spend more than you should on fuel. Used Honda CR-V models have an advantage in this area, with fuel consumption ratings of 8.7 L per 100 km in the city, and 7.2 L per 100 km on the highway. On the other hand, a pre-owned Hyundai Tucson will average 10.8 L per 100 km in the city, and 9.2 L per 100 km on the highway.
One of the most important criteria for finding the right SUV on the pre-owned market is how much space there is inside and how much cargo space it has. We're sure you'll agree that a fuel-efficient SUV isn't all that appealing if it's not spacious. Used Honda CR-Vs offer many benefits in that area. For starters, it has 1,110 L of total cargo space behind the rear seats while overall cargo capacity reaches 2,146 L. In comparison, a pre-owned Hyundai Tucson has 1,753 L of cargo space, and 878 L behind the rear seats. In other words, if cargo capacity is an important criteria for you, the Hyundai Tucson won't give you as much as the Honda CR-V.
