Compare The Hyundai Tucson to The Competition at AutoFair Hyundai

The New Hyundai Tucson Overwhelms the Competition in Manchester, NH

Compact SUVs are some of the most popular vehicles on the market because they offer plenty of interior space along with easy maneuverability. The new Hyundai Tucson is just the right size for drivers in Manchester, NH, while also providing an eye-catching exterior and a feature-rich interior. While it faces stiff competition from other compact crossovers from Honda, Mazda, Subaru, and Nissan, the Tucson rises above its rivals by excelling in all the most important areas.

The new Hyundai Tucson delivers competitive horsepower, but where it really shines is ride quality. Its well-built suspension soaks up all but the worst pavement imperfections in Nashua, NH. The Tucson also stays composed on twisty roads in Salem, NH, with very little body roll around turns.

The 2026 Honda CR-V rides comfortably, but it understeers a bit around corners. The Mazda CX-5 has sure-footed handling and a smooth ride, but unlike the Tucson, it's not available with a hybrid powertrain. The Subaru Forester's engine only generates 180 horsepower, so it doesn't accelerate as quickly as the Tucson. The Nissan Rogue produces more horsepower than the Tucson, but it handles turns more roughly, with chassis movements that betray a lack of refinement.

Exterior Design

The Hyundai Tucson stands out from other SUVs in Concord, NH, with bold lines, a striking grille, and uniquely integrated lighting that sets it apart in a packed parking lot. Tucson XRT trims have chunky black cladding, exclusive 18-inch wheels, and black front and rear lower fascias for an even more dynamic appearance.

The 2026 Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester, and Nissan Rogue have common SUV profiles with few eye-catching characteristics. The Mazda CX-5 has nice proportions and attractive detailing, but it still has virtually the same styling as it had in 2016, making the design a bit stale.

Interior Features

A well-equipped infotainment system can help make ordinary daily driving in Laconia, NH more enjoyable. The Hyundai Tucson comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system featuring standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. Higher trims add a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.

The 2026 Honda CR-V's standard infotainment touchscreen is just 9 inches long. The Mazda CX-5 has a 12.9-inch touchscreen, but its driver information display is just 10.25 inches. The Subaru Forester has dual 7-inch screens, while the Nissan Rogue's base infotainment display is only 8 inches long.
