Hyundai Tucson vs. Toyota RAV4

Peace of Mind on Every Drive

Both SUVs are equipped with safety technology that helps keep you aware of what's going on around your vehicle so you can enjoy more confident driving. For instance, both models offer similar driver-assistance features that include:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection
• Lane Keeping Assist

These features help protect you from potential collisions and keep your vehicle centered within your intended lane.

Your Digital Sidekick

While the Toyota equips a few features unique to its Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5 system, you’ll find unique features in the Tucson that are not available in the RAV4, including:

• Driver Attention Warning
• Lane Following Assist
• Rear Occupant Alert
• Safe Exit Warning
• Available Highway Driving Assist

You can also equip your Hyundai with available Remote Smart Parking Assist. This intelligent feature lets you park your vehicle or pull it out of a parking spot with just the click of a remote. Unfortunately, the Toyota RAV4 does not offer a similar feature.

Staying Connected

The Hyundai Tucson and the Toyota RAV4 both do a good job of helping you stay connected to your digital world by turning your car into a smartphone hub. Both vehicles come standard with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. However, the Tucson’s integrations are wireless, whereas the RAV4’s integrations may require a cord for pairing.

When you use either of these smartphone integrations, you can seamlessly toggle your favorite music, podcasts, or audiobooks.

By Touch or By Voice

Despite their connectivity difference, the Tucson and the RAV4 offer nearly identical infotainment systems. For starters, both models come with 8-inch touchscreen displays that can be upgraded to a screen that reaches over 10 inches! That means you’ll have crisp visuals in either option.

However, the Tucson also has available Dynamic Voice Recognition, which allows you to stay hands-free as you drive. This feature even extends to the climate control settings thanks to available voice control HVAC.

The RAV4 also has voice command; however, it doesn’t control the climate settings.

Modern Technologies

The innovative features being added to cars each year continue to make everyday tasks more convenient. These include remote capabilities, which are available in both the 2023 Hyundai Tucson and the 2023 Toyota RAV4.

With these available features, called Bluelink® in the Hyundai, you can start the engine and turn on the heat as you finish eating breakfast before leaving for work. This can be done with your voice, too, through one of your smart devices.

Hands-free Assistance

Both vehicles provide an available hands-free smart liftgate to make loading and unloading cargo easier, especially when your hands are full. This system features auto open technology in the 2023 Tucson, which will automatically open the liftgate when it senses you're nearby for easier access to the cargo area.
