Hyundai Tucson Hybrid vs. Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
If you're looking for an efficient vehicle that the whole family can enjoy, then a hybrid SUV is what you need. With plenty of options to choose from, you may be wondering which hybrid is the right fit for you, and our team at Andy Mohr Hyundai is here to help!
We've put two hybrid SUVs side-by-side in this Hyundai Tucson Hybrid vs. Toyota RAV4 Hybrid comparison to help you narrow down your choices. Keep reading to see which model is better for navigating Bloomington, Martinsville, and Ellettsville.
COMBINED HORSEPOWER
ALL WHEEL DRIVE
HEATED SEATS
Hybrid vehicles are known for their high efficiency, and these two models are no exception. However, hybrids are also capable of impressive power output. Which SUV blends the two perfectly?
Both the Hyundai Tucson and the Toyota RAV4 take advantage of a traditional gas-powered engine combined with an electric motor to provide some extra oomph to your drive. Let's see what they bring to the plate:
- Hyundai Tucson Hybrid - 1.6L turbocharged GDI 4-cylinder hybrid engine that provides a combined 226 horsepower
- Toyota RAV4 Hybrid - 2.5L Dynamic Force 4-cylinder hybrid engine that provides a combined 219 horsepower
While both models are equipped for impressive acceleration, the Hyundai Tucson provides a bit more of the get-up-and-go you may be looking for.
It’s foreseeable that you’ll want to do some adventuring with your vehicle, too. Fortunately, these two crossover SUVs are ready to explore. Each vehicle comes standard with All Wheel Drive and is ready to take on treacherous terrain as you navigate muddy roadways, slick overpasses, sun-beaten asphalt, or pothole-infested roads.
The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid offers drivers 1,750 pounds of maximum towing capacity when properly equipped, which is perfect for pulling small gear. The Tucson Hybrid outclasses the Toyota in this regard, offering a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds when equipped with trailer brakes. So, the Hyundai will have the ability to tow a bit more as you check out mountains, lakes, and other local scenery.
Connectivity is always important, whether you're staying in touch with friends and family, finding out the latest news, or shuffling through your favorite tunes. As you enjoy your preferred entertainment, you can kick back and relax in either SUV. Which one offers a more luxurious experience, though?
Both the Tucson Hybrid and the RAV4 Hybrid understand the need for connection and provide several useful infotainment features for you to take advantage of. These features include:
- Apple CarPlay®
- Android Auto™
- Bluetooth® connectivity
- Available premium audio system
Both the Tucson Hybrid and the RAV4 Hybrid let you cut the cord by providing wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, which makes connecting your phone that much easier.
Both models also offer a wireless charging pad for your devices, and while it comes standard on the Tucson Hybrid, the RAV4 Hybrid only offers it as part of a separate options package.
Technology also appears as creature comforts in either hybrid SUV too! Each model has several comforting amenities, but what can you expect from their base trim levels?
The Tucson Hybrid offers an 8-way power driver’s seat with power lumbar support as your throne. It comes with standard heating functionality too! The RAV4 Hybrid, on the other hand, comes with a 6-way adjustable driver’s seat. Lumbar support and heated front seats are available on higher trims.
Of course, one of the crucial aspects of choosing an SUV, whether it's a hybrid or not, is its safety features. Whether you're taking a solo journey or traveling with a full party, you'll want to be sure you can drive securely and confidently.
To help with this, both models offer their own suites of safety and driver-assistive features. On the Tucson Hybrid, you'll find Hyundai SmartSense, while the RAV4 Hybrid comes with Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5. You'll find similar systems in both, including:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection
- Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Lane Following Assist
- High Beam Assist
The Tucson Hybrid takes your protection up a few notches with additional standard features, like Driver Attention Warning, Safe Exit Warning, and Rear Occupant Alert. These features are unavailable on the RAV4 Hybrid.
Both models also offer features to help make getting in and out of parking spots easier. However, only the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid offers available Remote Smart Parking Assist, which allows your Hyundai to park itself and pull out of a spot with just the press of a button on your Smart Key.
The RAV4 Hybrid lacks a similar feature, although it does offer Front and Rear Parking Assist, which helps with proximity while parking but cannot autonomously park.
While either of these hybrid SUVs would make a fine choice, the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid comes out on top in terms of power, convenience, and safety. You can even see for yourself by scheduling a test drive with us at Andy Mohr Hyundai.
