We're talking about a topic that doesn't even have basic information about cars from 10 years ago to 5 years ago. Hyundai Motor is the only automaker that makes all kinds of transmissions and electric car parts by itself. There were many Japanese fanboys in Japan 20 years ago that said Panasonic and Sony had better quality than Korean Samsung and LG Electronics' televisions, but now there is not a single human being on the planet who says that. Currently, Japanese home companies are no longer able to make TVs or just getting parts and assembling them from Samsung or LG in Korea. It's only natural that Japanese companies without electric car technology will soon shrink to a large number. Comparing Hyundai Motor with Japanese cars five years ago 10 years ago is a pointless pun.
Great review, close competition. Have had hybrid Tucson since July and done about 7000k’s. So far a great car and averaged around 6.1. Fun to drive, great tech and has a good amount of rush when needed.
I initially planned to buy the top-spec Hyundai Tucson, which was available for next-day delivery. However, I felt it was overpriced and changed my mind. After that, I considered the Corolla Cross but ended up waiting a long time, only to realize it would not be available. I then moved on to the top-spec RAV4 and am currently in my third month of the waiting period. I eagerly waiting for mu order now. Recently, I saw the 2026 version of the Kia Sportage that was launched in Korea. 😂😂😁😁😜😜
If features and tech are top of mind, probably go for the Tucson. But if you want to save more money long term, the RAV4 is the one for you. Although it's a tie in fuel economy, your biggest loss during ownership will always be depreciation. The RAV4's resale value is second to none thanks to Toyota's sterling brand reputation. I'd pick the one that leaves more money in my pocket.
Rav4 engine is both port and direct injection = super reliable. Its eCVT is not belt driven but uses planetary gears, less moving parts and reliable. Pinnacle engineering. Plus the AWD (eFour) system avoids having rear differential and drive shaft. Simple and much cheaper maintenance as no rear diff to service.
As an owner of a top spec X-trail epower that’s done 13k with majority being Sydney suburban conditions with approx 30% of those km at highways speeds, I believe that it will compete very well against both of these cars. For me it’s sitting on 6.3l/100km over its life thus far. Before I get flamed by RAV4 owners, resale value means nothing to me and nor servicing costs which will be in line with the Hyundai. Let’s see a match up of X-trail against either or both of these.
@ That’s a decent return for the Tucson. X-Trail is almost 2 tonnes and feature packed so getting even within 1l/100 to the RAV4 is a very good return IMO. If I didn’t have to do a specific hilly drive 3 times a week,I’m certain that my return over full tank would be high 4’s or low 5”s at worst real world and not what display shows.
I have a 2018 Kia Sportage will 85,000 and no problem. The Hyundai and Kia made after 2018 are bulletproof. Unfortunately 2016 models before are all junk . Toyota has dropped their game and Hyundai are taking over .
I do not see the reason for economy comparison. If you want economy buy a vw id4 or a Tesla model y. Andboth of them Rav4 and Tuscon are not even capable offroaders.

@@MdnDalle Toyota rav4 has a Ecvt transmission and it's bulletproof I have a 2016 Hyundai tuscon sport and at 101k I had to replace the transmission. Hyundai and Kia are junk compared to Toyota. Everyone knows that !!!
@grandmastert01 Praising Hyundai without actually owning one is pretty easy as Hyundai looks much better, and has better tech overall. Unfortunately, I also fall for those so called "better" once! Oh God, such a BS car manufacturer! Back to toyota, it doesn't have the interior beauty or polished infotainment, but it has something that I never experienced with Hyundai- Peace of mind!
Never ever going to buy another Hyundai in my life. Did this mistake once and I still regret this decision!
What happened?

Very good review. And the reviewer's choice of words in explaining the features and the cars need to be commended
Good comparison mate!
Glad you liked it
What is the weight difference?
Tucson is up for new gen. Rav4 too traditional
This was really well presented and fun to watch. I like this reviewer.

Tucson is so much better looking. RAV4 is too utilitarian.
@@karl6203 wrong sir. While Tuscon might look fancy and different the look wont age well.

100% better system on the Toyota if you're keen on hanging on to it out of warranty..ask the taxi owners.
The Rav 4 is much better looking. I hope they don't ruin it in the next update.

My tucson hybrid is doing 6.1 mixed city and highway

In fact its event better i did the math wrong as not used to km/L. So its doing 17km/1L which translates into 5.88L/100km
Lol thats even more economic than my other car vw polo 3 cylinders
Thanks for taking the time to actually add proper subtitles to your videos. They are way better than the autogenerated ones
Hyundai is it👍🏻👌🏼😉 better!. 😎
Hyunda. Nice test v
I have a 2018 Kia Sportage will 85,000 and no problem. The Hyundai and Kia made after 2018 are bulletproof. Unfortunately 2016 models before are all junk . Toyota has dropped their game and Hyundai are taking over .
No mention of long term running costs of services. Toyota have fixed price, Hyundai??? Could be a big cost difference in running costs.

I do not see the reason for economy comparison. If you want economy buy a vw id4 or a Tesla model y. Andboth of them Rav4 and Tuscon are not even capable offroaders.
Do check the depreciation, one loses around £500 per month in their first year 😂. Are you happy to lose that much money per month?
would like to choose the Hyundai Tucson but I'm worried ahout the eng side oike is it likely to shit itself post warranty like there gamma eng
Rav 4 for me. I wouldn't buy anything else. 😊
I would never buy a Hyundai, period!
Toyota.
Hyundai is better
Better in what?
Two old cars.
Does the Hyundai hybrid have its usual cvt transmission? Can't imagine Hyundai reliability out beating Toyota
Hyundai doesn’t have a CVT Rav does . Hyundai is a far better car

Tuscan looks like a toy
No car brand can beat Toyota
Subscription $20 a year?? Nope..its about $10 ++_a month !
Mega glup!
That Not a Midsize SUV, That's A Compact SUV Like Tesla Model Y
