Hyundai Tucson 

Soon as you lock eyes on this beauty you’ll automatically think “my future.” Its futuristic and technical appearance will make you feel like one of the Jetsons! We love this design! 

The Hyundai Tucson also comes with the option of being a hybrid. It has 2.5L 4-cylinder reaching 187 horsepower with an 8-speed automatic transmission. If the hybrid model, the Hyundai Tucson will have a 1.6L 4-cylinder engine. You also have the option of either all wheel drive or front wheel drive. 

The fuel efficiency on this SUV is wonderful. 26 CITY/33 HWY MPG. 

As far as comfort goes, the Hyundai Tucson is larger than their previous models in the years. Making more room for the back passengers as well as the front two due to its luxurious cabin. 

Features are definitely our favorite part of a car. The Hyundai Tucson’s infotainment center has a standard 8.8 inch touchscreen display equipped for Apple CarPlay and Android auto. Did I mention it also has Wi-Fi? It’s hard to go anywhere without the internet and so Hyundai built that in for us. 

Hyundai Santa Fe 

The Hyundai Santa Fe is slightly bigger than the Hyundai Tucson. The Santa Fe makes for more cargo room and towing features. It can tow up to 3,500 pounds. 

Alongside this vehicle is a different engine than the Tucson. The Santa Fe has 2.5L GDI MPI DOHC 16-valve I4-ince engine that includes an 8-speed automatic transmission. This is a front wheel drive with the fuel tank capacity of 18.8 gallons fuel tank. 

The fuel efficiency is slightly different here. The Santa Fe’s fuel efficiency is 25 CITY/28 HWY MPG. 

The Hyundai Santa Fe has a bit more space in their cabin. The Tucson has 146.9 cubic ft. and 80.3 inches of cargo space while the Santa Fe has 147.9 cubic ft. and 72.1 cubic ft of cargo area. 

The Santa Fe has a bit more features than the Tucson. It has a navigation system and power seats. 

Both vehicles seat five passengers including the driver and both vehicles are great options for your next vehicle. The choice is really if you need that little more room for your cargo space.
