Having been completely redesigned this year, the new-generation Honda CR-V offers everything consumers love about the CR-V and that have made the Honda compact SUV so popular in Québec, while also improving the features offered onboard and the efficiency. There is even a new hybrid version of the 2023 Honda CR-V that make is even more appealing. Although the Hyundai Tucson has a lot to offer, the CR-V has it beat in terms of efficiency, interior space, and the overall performance. Let's take a closer look at how the 2023 Honda CR-V compares with the 2023 Hyundai Tucson.
The 2023 Honda CR-V delivers better fuel economy
Let's start by looking at the fuel economy of each model. The Honda CR-V has always been one of the most fuel-efficient compact sport utility vehicles you can buy and the new generation of the CR-V is no different. The entry-level 2023 Honda CR-V averages just 8.4 L per 100 km in the city and 7.1 L per 100 km on the highway. This translates into a combined fuel economy rating of just 7.8 L per 100 km.
The all-wheel drive 2023 Honda CR-V is just as impressive with an average fuel consumption rating of 9.1 L per 100 km in the city and 7.6 L per 100 km on the highway which translates into a combined rating of 8.4 L per 100 km.
The 2023 Honda CR-V is more efficient than the Tucson by a wide margin. The front-wheel-drive 2023 Tucson has an average fuel consumption rating of 8.5 L per 100 km while the all-wheel drive model averages 9.3 L per 100 km. In other words, the all-wheel drive CR-V is more efficient than the front-wheel-drive Tucson while averaging nearly 1 litre less per 100 km then AWD Hyundai models.
Better performance
What is even more impressive about the fuel economy of the 2023 Honda CR-V is that despite being more efficient, the Honda compact SUV is also more powerful. It features a standard 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 190 hp and 179 pound-feet of torque at just 1,700 rpm.
The Hyundai Tucson has a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre four-cylinder with 187 hp and 178 pound-feet of torque. Now this may not seem like a big difference compared to the CR-V, but again the Honda SUV is turbocharged which means it delivers its torque at a much lower rpm leading to much quicker reactions and accelerations.
Ultimately, the new CR-V is quicker and delivers more potent accelerations and reacts with less hesitation.
More cargo space in the 2023 Honda CR-V
Last but not least, the 2023 Honda CR-V remains one of the most spacious compact SUVs you can buy. It offers 1,113 L of total cargo space behind the rear seats, while folding down the rear seats will give you 2,166 L of cargo space. This makes the CR-V incredibly versatile and perfect for the needs of an active family. The Tucson is also spacious, but it has about 50 L less total cargo space while also not being as spacious upfront.
This is just an overview of what differentiates the 2023 Honda CR-V from the 2023 Hyundai Tucson. Give us a call today to learn more about the new generation CR-V and everything that it has to offer.
