The 2018 Hyundai Tucson puts service ahead of sizzle, and caps it with an excellent warranty.
Pros A simple but appealing look Refined ride A quiet cockpit Reasonable fuel economy Excellent warranty coverage
Cons Chintzy SE trim Smaller cargo area than in rivals Limited’s the only model for top tech
The 2018 Hyundai Tucson ranked #7 in Compact SUVs. Currently the Hyundai Tucson has a score of 8.4 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 27 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Pros Excellent crash test scores Longer warranty than most Comfortable and quiet
Cons Mediocre cabin materials in lower trim levels Base engine provides slow acceleration
We like the Value trim level. It lives up to its name by giving you a huge number of desirable features for an agreeable price. Its turbocharged engine also produces a pleasing amount of power. We also think that heated seats and the additional stain-resistant cloth make the absence of leather upholstery just fine.
PROS Lots of features for the money Top safety scores Optional turbocharged engine delivers peppy acceleration Comfortable ride on rough roads
CONS Some disappointing interior pieces Some advanced driver safety aids only available on top trim Less cargo space than top rivals Slow acceleration with base engine
The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class captivates crossover types with its lush cabin and its plush ride; there’s AMG power on tap if you must.
Pros Cabinet-grade interior (agency or furniture) Choose your body Choose your engine Burmester audio thrills Doesn’t cut short on technology
Cons Expensive safety options It’s not a Coupe, it’s just less useful Numb steering (GLC 300) Rivals have diesel, plug-ins
Two new models join the GLC-Class lineup: the GLC 350e plug-in hybrid and the performance-oriented AMG GLC 63. Heated wipers are now standard, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can now be added with the Smartphone Integration package. Mercedes has also renamed some packages to better convey the features added.
PROS Balance of comfort and performance makes it an appealing daily driver Elegant design inside and out gives it a true luxury appearance Plenty of room for adult-size passengers in back Solid fuel economy from the standard four-cylinder engine
CONS Feature for feature, it is pricier than many competitors Technology interface isn't always easy to use
The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class ranked #3 in Luxury Compact SUVs. Currently the Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class has a score of 8.8 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 30 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
