2024 Hyundai Tucson vs Toyota RAV4: A Comparison

At Brandon Hyundai, we’re excited to showcase the battle of the crossover SUVs. We’re confident in the robust power, unique style and comfortable drive of the 2024 Hyundai Tucson, but we also value transparency. Our team in Tampa, FL, has put together a comparison of the 2024 Hyundai Tucson vs Toyota RAV4 for your consideration.

We invite you to visit us and take a test drive of the 2024 Hyundai Tucson’s different trims, including the SEL and Limited editions, as well as the hybrid and plug-in hybrid models of this compact SUV at our Hyundai dealership in Tampa, FL. Experience firsthand why this SUV stands out against competitors like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V.

Athletic Styling

The 2024 Hyundai Tucson SUV’s sporty yet refined design is an immediate eye-catcher. This 5-seater is equipped with either 17-inch or 19-inch wheels, a dynamic stance and a rear spoiler. All models feature standard LED headlights and a shark-fin roof antenna, with high-end versions boasting a panoramic moonroof, a dark chrome accent grille, heated side mirrors and premium front and rear fascias. We also offer models with a hands-free smart liftgate at our Hyundai dealership in Tampa, FL.

When you compare the 2024 Hyundai Tucson with the Toyota RAV4, you’ll find the RAV4 also provides 17-inch and 19-inch wheels. However, LED headlights are exclusive to the higher-end models. A comparison of the interiors of the 2024 Hyundai Tucson and Toyota RAV4 reveals similarities in comfort features, but the Tucson takes luxury up a notch.

The 2024 Hyundai Tucson interior is designed for comfort, offering seating for five, cloth or leather seat options and a 60/40 split folding rear seat for extra cargo space. Ambient interior lighting, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a heated steering wheel are available on this luxury SUV.

Opt for trims that offer the comfort you desire, featuring heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and 8-way power front seats. The 2024 Toyota RAV4 interior only provides heated front seats in its high-end versions, though it does offer a 60/40 split rear seat for additional cargo space.

Powerful Performance on the Road

The 2024 Hyundai Tucson, offering both superior power and fuel economy, is equipped with a 187-hp 2.5L 4-cylinder engine. This engine, which comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission and drive mode select, delivers 178 lb-ft of torque and averages 25 MPG in town and 32 MPG on open roads. An all-wheel drive system is available for upgrade at our Hyundai dealership in Tampa, FL. You can also opt for the 2024 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid that pairs an electric motor with a 4-cylinder engine.

While the 2024 Toyota RAV4 does offer more horsepower and a hybrid powertrain, it lacks the fuel efficiency and smooth handling of the 2024 Hyundai Tucson. The revamped RAV4 is equipped with a 203-hp 2.5L 4-cylinder engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, along with an optional 219-hp hybrid powertrain.

Exceptional Safety Features

If you’re looking for a compact SUV loaded with more standard features for safety, the 2024 Hyundai Tucson from Brandon Hyundai is an excellent choice. Every model comes fitted with blind spot collision avoidance assist, lane keeping assist and forward collision avoidance that detects both pedestrians and cyclists. In addition, the Tucson offers driver attention warnings, smart cruise control, safe exit warnings and rear cross traffic avoidance.

When comparing the 2024 Hyundai Tucson vs Toyota RAV4, it’s clear that while the RAV4 also offers many safety features, it doesn’t provide as many as standard. For instance, only the higher-end models of the 2024 Toyota RAV4 are equipped with rear cross traffic alerts and blind spot monitoring.

High-End Interior Technology

The 2024 Hyundai Tucson interior is all about enhancing your ride with connectivity and entertainment. This elegant SUV comes equipped with an improved infotainment system, featuring an 8-inch color touchscreen display, Bluetooth® connectivity, USB ports and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android™ Auto compatibility.

The basic trims provide a 2024 Hyundai Tucson interior with a 4.2-inch driver information center and remote keyless entry. If you’re looking for a bit more luxury, consider upgrading for remote smart parking assist, wireless device charging and navigation. Some trims even come standard with a large 10.25-inch touchscreen and digital instrument cluster, along with a premium Bose® sound system.

On the other hand, the 2024 Toyota RAV4 interior, from the base to the Limited trim, also includes smartphone syncing and an 8-inch touchscreen display. However, only the higher-end trims offer a 10-inch touchscreen display and unfortunately, this model doesn’t include remote smart parking assist. Both models do come with a digital key featuring push-button start capabilities.
