How Far Can You Drive on a Single Tank?

Behind the wheel of both the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, you will find that you will be able to enjoy an economical driving experience. The Hyundai Tucson Hybrid comes ready to earn an EPA-estimated 38 city and 38 highway MPG.1 Similarly, the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is able to earn an EPA-estimated 41 city and 38 highway MPG.
While this is the case, it is the Hyundai vehicle that provides a more efficient acceleration experience. With the Hyundai Tucson’s hybrid engine, you’ll have 195 lb-ft of torque at your disposal. Conversely, the RAV4’s hybrid engine produces just 149 lb-ft of torque in the front and 89 lb-ft of torque in the rear.
Which Crossover is Best Suited for Adventure?
As a Colorado driver, it’s foreseeable that you will want to do some adventuring with your vehicle, too. Fortunately, these two crossover SUVs come ready to explore. Each vehicle comes standard with All Wheel Drive and is ready to take on treacherous terrain as you navigate muddy mountain roadways and snowy overpasses.
The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid offers drivers 1,750 pounds of maximum towing capacity when properly equipped, which is perfect for pulling small gear. The Tucson Hybrid outclasses the Toyota in this regard, offering a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds when equipped with trailer brakes.
