The 2025 Honda CR-V and Hyundai Tucson bring strong choices to Edmonton drivers seeking compact SUVs with style, performance, and technology. Here, we’ll dive into key comparisons to see how each model stands out.
Performance and Fuel Efficiency
The 2025 Honda CR-V features a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Fuel economy is solid, with the CR-V offering 8.4 L/100 km city and 7.1 L/100 km highway in FWD, slightly higher in AWD.
The Hyundai Tucson’s base 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine delivers 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, with standard all-wheel drive in Canada. It earns 9.7 L/100 km in the city and 7.7 on the highway. Both models deliver capable performance, but the CR-V’s lighter, more compact turbo engine shines in terms of fuel efficiency, while Tucson's turbocharged hybrid model appeals to those wanting extra horsepower.
