Hybrid Showdown: 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid vs Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
The hunt for the best hybrid continues! Our research has narrowed us down to two incredible choices by Hyundai and Toyota. If you’re in the market for a real gas-saver this year, take a look at our detailed comparison between the 2025 Tucson Hybrid and the 2025 RAV4 Hybrid. Take your pick before coming down to Hyundai of Bedford for new hybrid vehicles near you!
Hyundai Does Electrified Power Better In the 2025 Tucson Hybrid
The most important part of a hybrid is its electrified powertrain. On that count, the new 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is built to be more capable than many of its competitors, including the most recent RAV4 Hybrid.
The new Tucson Hybrid makes use of a 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with an electric motor for a combined 231 horsepower. It’s even quick on its wheels with a 0-60 score of just 7.7 seconds. Fuel-wise, the most it gets is 38 MPG combined on the Tucson Hybrid Blue model which is just one mile less than its competitor. We feel like one mile for 12 extra horsepower is a fair trade when shopping around Bedford.
Taking a look at the new RAV4 Hybrid, it’s hard to ignore the blatantly lower HP rating of 219 ponies. This makes it a tad sluggish taking 7.8 seconds to reach 60 MPH. It gets points for making 39 MPG combined, but as we said, that’s a one-mile difference next to a shortage of 12 horsepower.
The verdict? We give it to the new 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid for offering much more horsepower with nearly identical stats in every other regard.
Plush Seats and Smooth Driving Describe the 2025 Tucson Hybrid, Not the RAV4 Hybrid
Of course, a hybrid is more than just its drivetrain. Still, the Tucson Hybrid steals the spotlight with super plush seating that’s most enjoyable in a quieter cabin and smoother ride. Together, the Tucson Hybrid creates a serene atmosphere that’s on point with the allure of electrified driving in Cleveland. Meanwhile, the RAV4 Hybrid’s seating situation is nowhere near as comfortable. To make matters worse, the RAV4 Hybrid’s cabin tends to make a lot of rough noises when accelerating which can distract from the electrified experience.
Get More Driver-Assist Features In the 2025 Tucson Hybrid Over the RAV4 Hybrid
Your safety is critical, and so are driver-assist features that work tirelessly for proactive protection. After a thorough inspection, we’ve determined that the 2025 Tucson Hybrid comes with more standard and optional features in Bedford than the RAV4 Hybrid.
On the surface, both come with similar standard safety and driver-assist packages. Then you have the 360-degree camera standard on the Tucson Hybrid’s highest trim but a paid add-on even for the RAV4 Hybrid’s top trim levels. Hyundai’s highway driving assist system is also more intuitive than what Toyota has to offer, taking some weight off of the driver’s shoulders by adding more automated functions.
Who’s Better Equipped With High Tech? That Would Be the 2025 Tucson Hybrid
Hyundai may be on top of the game when it comes to infotainment, but Toyota is dragging far behind. We already have 12.3-inch dual-screen combos standard on most of Hyundai’s 2025 lineup in Bedford including the Tucson Hybrid. Meanwhile, the 2025 RAV4 Hybrid only comes standard with an 8-inch screen, and you have to pay extra for a 10.5-inch display which is still gravely smaller than its competitor.
