My BIL owns a Tucson (company provided) and got it Brand new. He had a CRV earlier. When compared the two vehicles Tucson is newer and better looking and looks bigger, but internally (specially the rear) not very spacious. Compared Tucson is very low on fuel (after driven less than a year) and not very comfy.
Outta list I prefer;
1. X-Trail
2. SX4 / Escudo
3. Tucson
