Subaru Crosstrek vs. Hyundai Tucson

Price

If you're looking for the SUV with the most affordable price to own or lease, choose a new Subaru Crosstrek model. The Crosstrek lineup starts at just under $25,000 to purchase outright, with many financing options available at our dealership to help any driver around Millsboro, DE to own the right vehicle for the right price. The Hyundai Tucson lineup starts at slightly under $30,000. This allows you to own a Base Crosstrek model or upgrade to one of the higher and better equipped models for a similar price to the standard Tucson model.

Performance

You can always enjoy a commanding and confident driving experience, regardless of the weather or the terrain you're driving on in a new Subaru Crosstrek model. That's because every new Crosstrek model comes with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is legendary among driving and off-road enthusiasts thanks to it always sending power to all four-wheels, instead of part time. If any wheels slip, the system will automatically divert the power to the wheels with the most traction, helping you maintain control on any surface.

The Hyundai Tucson lineup has standard front-wheel drive, which can leave you wanting for more traction and control. All-wheel drive is available on all models, but with an already higher price, all-wheel drive Tucson models will cost more.

The Subaru Crosstrek and Hyundai Tucson models have similar standard engines. However, the Crosstrek uses a Boxer engine that uses horizontally opposed pistons, while the Tucson uses a regular engine with vertical pistons. The Boxer engines design allows it to be placed lower in the vehicle, which results in a lower center of gravity and better stability.

Off-Road Capability

All the Subaru Crosstrek models come with standard all-wheel drive, high ground clearance, and an impressive array of off-road ready features. The Crosstrek Wilderness lineup takes things up a notch with an array of off-road enhancements and additions. The Crosstrek Wilderness models have 9.3-inches of ground clearance instead of the regular 8.7-inches. They also have front skid plates, off-road wheels with all-terrain tires, reinforced roof rails, extra body cladding around the bumpers and wheel wells, and much more.

The Hyundai Tucson lineup has an XRT model that adds larger wheels, unique bumpers, black exterior accents, and a tow hitch, but it doesn't compare to the capability of the Crosstrek Wilderness model.
