The Tucson looks so much better. As someone who don't keep cars passed 100K miles, Hyundai/Kia have been pretty reliable for me. But that's just me. I don't miss any schedule service. 👍

First off the Hyundai hybrid has a 10-year 100k battery and powertrain warranty so that's not an issue, The Tucson looks way better than the same old Rav 4 year after year. The Hyundai has 5 years free roadside assistance, better features, better looking styling and if you want apples to apples you should have chosen the Tucson Limited vs the Toyota Hybrid limited and then compared the price. Thanks for your honest take

Cars are like women. You can marry a beautiful woman who can be difficult to live with and high maintenance or you can marry an average looking woman who will be enjoyable to live with and low maintenance.
I'll take the Toyota.

Very interesting review. But why arent you comparing with NON hybrid Tuscon.

RAV4 for sure — made in Canada plus proven reliability and resale value. It would also feel weird owning a Hyundai after driving Honda and Toyota products only for the past 25 years.

[mveevers]

I would go with the Tucson - stylish and sporty.

Toyota is reliable but styling is dated

Had a Tucson for 12 years no major issues- wear and tear for brakes, tires.

Its easy, get the RAV4. It is the best selling crossover for a reason.

Hyundai comes with free engine replacement. THEY ARE JUNK. I bought a RAV 4 the same time as my friend bought a Tucson. His Tucson after 2 years with only 30K had is engine replaced. Toyota reliability and resale is a winner hands down.

Did Toyota finally heat the whole steering wheel? On my Gf's 2019 XLE Rav 4, only the sides of the steering wheel were heated.

RAV4 drives the worst! No thanks. Seriously. No thanks!

My mom was looking at both of these as well. I told her about which to choose, but she chose the Hyundai. Now it has been 4 months and it's been in the shop for 3 of them. I'm sure she will get her car back eventually when they fix it 😬. Should have chosen the Toyota

Tuscon. Hyundai. Walk away. No. Run. If u want longevity. It’s always hit and miss.

From 2000-2020, I owned several Hyundai/Kia and Toyota products. My takeaway after 20 years is this. I stay away from Hyundai/Kia even though their designs are always very tempting. Why? It was integrity and quality control. Hyundai always had more recalls by far, their quality control was not nearly as good as Toyota, they had engine problems of all kinds, and even one model I had they lied about the horsepower and torque rating and they had to give us a settlement due to a class action lawsuit. My Hyundais/Kias were very inconvenient because I was taking them in for all kinds of small things all the time: fan blowers, switches, suspension, latches etc. But, they always fixed it under their warranty. By the time I would get rid of them, my owner's manual folder would be filled with warranty receipts. Toward the end of my time owning them, they would often have recalls that they did not have a fix for. My daughter is still waiting for recall fixes due to lack of equipment availability for her Tucson after better than a year. I just do not have this level of problems with Toyota. Toyota will have a problem every now and then, but nowhere near the level I experienced with the H/K's. This has just been my experience alone; take it for what it is worth.

Which one is made in Canada? I will take my place on the RAV4 Hybrid waiting list instead of driving a Hyundai off the lot today. 😁 Going forward, the next generation of RAV4 will need to match the passenger and cargo space offered by numerous competitors.

[sophaman]

And also the rav4 last redesign is in 2019 is older design and the Hyundai just redesign wait for the rav4 2025 redesign will be better than the Hyundai thanks take care bye from milton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

Yes, we all know Toyota has that reputation of reliability, which is great and I won’t argue that. However, they aren’t always so wonderful. The 2019 RAV-4 had 8 recalls while the 2019 Hyundai Tucson had only one. Then of course there was the infamous Tacoma ordeal and I’m sure there are many other examples. You also have to be honest with yourself about what you really want from that reputation in a society where most of us buying/leasing in this class end up in a new vehicle within 5-7 years regardless.

Looking for a higher resale value is risky these days and not guaranteed. We don’t even truly know what direction the EV crusade will go for one thing and how that will affect the value of all vehicles. Furthermore, it makes no sense to live with a vehicle due to what you think it will do for you once get rid of it. 😉

Aesthetically, the Tucson is obviously much better looking and has that higher end appeal inside and out. Also, let it be known that the interior fit and finish of the RAV-4 is very poor quality. The plastics are markedly thinner and none of the components are very solid. The interior space is also notably more open in the Tucson, while the RAV-4 feels a bit tight and restrictive for its class. I think the RAV-4 is getting an update next year which should give it more appeal.

Hyundai has a 60, 000 mile bumper to bumper Warranty 10 year mile powertrain Warranty but I do like Toyota but for me the Warranty means alot

My wife has a 2022 Rav4 Hybrid Limited loaded with all the extras like the ventilated seats, she averages 42 mpg / 5.6L/100km over 28K miles / 45K kms at the pump (atfer 60 fill ups). No issues so far, she really likes it. It replaced her 2015 Honda CR-V EX. My mother in law just bought a 2024 Hyundai Tucson Limited (normal), her main reasons were instant availability, it was less expensive, has 10 years / 100, 000 miles powertrain warranty and the infotainment screen is at a normal place. She also likes the turn view cameras too. Have fun with your Rav4, we can't wait for the next gen as we will probably give this one to my daughter in a few years when she starts driving.

Hyundai Vs Toyota is like p00pie sandwich Vs Cat pisss marmalade.

[jraheemjefcoat]

Tuscon is definitely my choice! Im a fashion-forward kind of guy. The Rav4 is just vanilla looking. I will be bored with it in a matter of seconds.
