Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Tucson than in the Mazda CX-50. The Hyundai Tucson offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Mazda CX-50, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Hyundai Tucson as you will with the Mazda CX-50, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Hyundai Tucson will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Mazda CX-50.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai Tucson is much slimmer than the Mazda CX-50, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Hyundai Tucson takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Mazda CX-50.

Handling
The Hyundai Tucson has a larger turning radius than the Mazda CX-50, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Hyundai Tucson will do just as well as the Mazda CX-50, since they have about the same towing capacity. In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Hyundai Tucson and the Mazda CX-50.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Hyundai Tucson doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Mazda CX-50.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Hyundai Tucson and the Mazda CX-50. With the Hyundai Tucson, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Mazda CX-50.
