2019 Renault Kadjar vs Hyundai Tucson

2019 Renault Kadjar vs 2018 Hyundai Tucson Can Hyundai’s new Tucson knock classy Renault off top spot in crossover class? Over the years, Hyundai has evolved from being a worthy budget brand to one that makes a number of front-running cars in their classes. The likes of the i10, i30 and Santa Fe have pushed sales to new levels, and the firm’s five-year warranty is a great buying incentive. To find out, we’ve lined it up against another recent newcomer that’s made a big impact in the class – the Renault Kadjar. The new model has the measure of the related Nissan Qashqai, and its combination of value, quality and practicality means it’s a tough rival for the Tucson to take on. Head to head Boot space The Kadjar has a bigger boot, at 527 litres, compared to the Tucson’s 488-litre capacity. Yet while the Renault features a false floor with added storage underneath, the Hyundai comes with a full-size spare wheel. For some buyers that will be enough to justify the smaller boot, although Renault does offer a space-saver spare for £95. Off-road ability These cars aren’t really designed for off-road use, but higher-spec versions are available with 4WD. Intriguingly, the front-wheel-drive Tucson still features hill descent control. Simply press a button next to the gearlever, and the electronics limit the car’s speed on steep slopes. Emissions The standard Kadjar 1.5 dCi has the Tucson beaten for emissions, but company car buyers can cut their Benefit in Kind bills further by specifying 17-inch wheels. Not only does this reduce emissions to 99g/km, it gives the Kadjar a comfier ride. #Kadjar #Tucson Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/c/CarsBOOM
