My next choice’s Are Hyundai Santa Cruz, rav4? Not really fan of the 1.5/2.0 direct injection natural or turbo engines. not fan of Ford bronco or CRV’s for that reason. IMO so far too small, works too hard, and direct injection has had problem’s? If I had one I would religiously change the oil every 6 months minimum, especially if turbocharged? But, that’s me.

This is my situation...my wife states she can no longer comfortably get in and out of our 2014 Suburu Outback due to hip issues. So this tells me we can no longer own ANY lower vehicles....no more Priuses, no more Lexuses, nothing low. This is why I thought we need a higher SUV. I do not need a large one, as "her" car is a Town and Country minivan that she jumps UP into with no problem.
So we checked out the 2022 Tucson. She can get in and out of it no problem. The hybrid model has more HP, torque, etc. Cargo space is actually bigger than all the competition including the SantaFe. I am with you however....the new Santa Cruz coming out this summer is AMAZING. I'm SO tempted towards it, but do not really need the bed. It is basically the new Tucson with a 4'3' bed in the back. Blows everything else away in looks, styling, tech, etc.
Anyway, I still contend that anyone considering a new CR-V, Rav-4 , etc. at least take a look at this new Tucson....and no I am not a dealer, LOL, I have never owned a Hyundai before, but I am impressed with this one.
