THE Hyundai Tucson has been our favourite mid-size SUV for two years running in our New Car Awards, and the plug-in hybrid version is the flagship of the range. Its prices start slightly higher than the Sportage’s at £39,680, but the top-spec Ultimate model tested here is only slightly more expensive than 4 trim at £42,380
Design & engineering
WHILE the Tucson and Sportage share lots of technology and hardware under the skin – they are the same width
