2025 Hyundai Tucson vs 2025 Honda CR-V

If you're shopping for a compact SUV that’s ready for everything from your Spring-area commute to weekend errands in The Woodlands, two names likely come to mind: the 2025 Hyundai Tucson and the 2025 Honda CR-V. Both are strong choices, but if you're looking for standout design, smarter tech, and more flexibility right from the start, the Tucson brings more to the table. Here’s how they compare across the features that matter most.

Interior Comparison

The 2025 Tucson offers an inviting, modern cabin designed with everyday life in mind, featuring hidden air vents, smart storage, and class-leading cargo space. The rear seats provide excellent legroom for growing families or adult passengers. The CR-V has a clean, classic interior layout with quality materials, but it feels more conventional next to the Tucson’s sleek approach.

Performance Comparison

The 2025 Tucson strikes a confident balance between smooth ride quality, useful towing strength, and day-to-day efficiency. It comes standard with front-wheel drive, while all-wheel drive is available for added control. The CR-V also delivers capable handling, but Tucson’s slightly higher towing capability and traditional eight-speed automatic transmission make it more flexible for weekend trailers or extra cargo.

Technology Comparison

Tucson's standard tech offerings are thoughtfully integrated, not just added on. You’ll find crisp graphics, responsive menus, and a clean layout on most trims. Add in wireless smartphone connectivity, and this vehicle really has it all. While the CR-V offers its own set of intuitive features, its tech is more trim-dependent and lacks the seamlessness you get in the Tucson.

Safety Comparison
