Very tight battle of the two. A comparison by ContractHiringandLeasing in their automotive section going through each aspect - Exterior, Interior, On the road, Running costs, and of course, the final verdict.

Who do you think is more favourable ?

A few areas of cheap-feeling switchgear let the Tucson down

That said, the Qashqai isn’t perfect either.

I'd still go with the Qashqai. Yea, it has a bit of cheap plastic here and there but that seems to be in a lot of vehicles these days and you get more power and room with Hyundai too.

That's the thing. I don't really need the extra space that the Tucson boasts. I'm still really on board with the Qashqai. Waiting for a special edition of it too though

Also, the Tucson costs more because it falls into a higher emissions bracket:

Both return 61.4mpg, but the Hyundai will return 119g/km CO2 emissions compared to the Nissan’s 120g/km. It doesn’t sound like a huge difference, but that 1g/km is enough to put the Qashqai into the 24% company car tax bracket while the Tucson remains in the 23% band.

Just not really worth it overall.

Anyone here considering the Rav4? Toyota still has a strong product although it could use a refresh, fortunately it's still relevant.
