2026 Honda CR-V vs Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-50, Hyundai Tucson & Subaru Forester | Compact SUV Showdown

In this video on Fuller Life, we’re taking a look at five of the most popular compact SUVs on the road today — the 2026 Honda CR-V TrailSport, Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-50, and Subaru Forester. These are the top-selling crossovers in America, and I wanted to see how they really compare when it comes to everyday life — power, comfort, space, and value. We’ll explore everything from horsepower and transmission types to fuel economy, gas tank size, and interior comfort. I’ll also break down front and rear legroom, cargo space, off-road capability, AWD systems, and tech features to help you figure out which one fits your lifestyle best — whether you’re heading to work, the trails, or a weekend getaway. If you’re shopping for a compact SUV in 2026, this video gives you a full breakdown of what each model does best — and where they fall short — so you can make the right call for your next ride. 🔍 Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:42 What’s Under the Hood 01:15 Wheels & MPGs 01:57 Gas Tank Comparison 02:14 Front Row Leg Room 02:38 Back Row Leg Room 03:01 Interior Materials 03:40 Cargo Space 04:10 The Magic Funnel 04:40 CR-V Tips & Tricks 05:01 Cargo Space Compared 06:08 Ground Clearance 06:27 Trim Levels Explained 07:45 Towing Comparison 08:13 Touchscreen Stats 09:25 Cluster Screen Behind the Steering Wheel 09:54 Safety Features 11:41 How to Unlock the Touchscreen Fully 14:22 Final Thoughts & Comparisons 🧩 Featured Gear & Links Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Box 👉 https://autokitcarplay.com/?ref=JustinFuller 💸 Coupon Code: JF20 Honda USB Port – OEM Part 💰 Price: $57.54 🧾 Part: 8A350-TJB-A01 🔗 Order Here 🎥 Watch Next: 2026 Honda CR-V Tips & Tricks Video 📺 Watch here: https://youtu.be/wPvJS5_xJNQ 📱 Connect with Me Instagram: @fuller.life TikTok: @fuller.life Facebook: Fuller Life Reviews Email: jf_1064@yahoo.com Text/Call: 737-443-9555 🎵 Music by #InAudio Track: EDM Progressive House by Infraction [No Copyright Music] #HondaCRV #ToyotaRAV4 #HyundaiTucson #MazdaCX50 #SubaruForester #CompactSUV #SUVComparison #HondaTrailSport #FullerLife #CarReview #SUVShowdown #AdventureSUV #CrossoverComparison #Honda2026 #JustinFuller #FullerLifeChannel #vehiclereview Competition Toyota Rav4 Subaru Forester Mazda CX-50 Hyundai Tucson Top Selling Compact SUVs: Rav4: ~202,641 units sold YTD CRV: ~182,656 units sold YTD Tucson: ~96,932 units sold YTD Transmissions Compared CRV: CVT or E-CVT Rav4: CVT or E-CVT Tucson: 8-speed for gas or 6-speed for hybrid Forester: CVT or E-CVT CX-50: 6 speed for gas or E-CVT for hybrid Horsepower Compared Rav4: 226 HP CR-V: 204 HP Tucson: 187 HP CX-50: 187 HP Forester: 180HP MPGS Compared: Rav4: Hybrid: 48 city / 42 HWY CX-50 Hybrid: 39 city / 37 highway CRV TrailSport - 38 City / 33 HWY Tucson Hybrid: 37 City / 36 HWY Forester Hybrid: 35 City / 34 HWY CRV: 28 City / 33 HWY Tucson: 25 city / 33 highway CX-50: 24 city / 30 highway Forester: 26 city / 33 highway Gas Tank Size Forester: 16.6 gallon CR-V: 14 gallon - all trims (Regular unleaded) Rav4: 14.5 gallon Tucson: 14.3 gallon Cx-50: 15.9 gallon Front Leg Room Forester: 43.3 inches CX-50: 41.7 inches Tucson: 41.4 inches CR-V: 41.3 inches Rav4: 41 inches Second Row Leg Room Tucson: 41.3 inches CR-V: 41 inches CX-50: 39.8 inches Forester: 39.4 inches Rav4: 37.8 inches Cargo Space - Seats up CR-V: 39.3 cubic ft Tucson: 38.7 cubic ft Rav4: 37.6 cubic ft CX-50: 31.4 cubic ft Forester: 27.5 cubic ft Cargo Space - Seats Down Tucson: 80.3 cubic ft CR-V: 76.5 cubic ft Rav4: 69.8 cubic ft Forester: 69.1 cubic ft CX-50: 56.3 cubic ft Ground Clearance Forester: 8.7 inches Rav4: 8.4 inches Tucson: 8.3 inches CX-50: 8.3 inches CRV: AWD - 8.2 inches CR-V: 2WD - 7.8 inches Towing: CR-V: Non-Hybrid - 1500lbs & Hybrids - 1000lbs Rav4: Non-Hybrid - 1500lbs & Hybrids - 1750lbs Tucson: Non-Hybrid - 1650lbs & Hybrids - 2000lbs Forester: Non-Hybrid - 1500lbs CX-50: Non-Hybrid - 2000lbs & Hybrids - 1500lbs Touchscreen Size Tucson: 12.3 inch CX-50: 10.25 inch CR-V: 9 inch Rav4: 8″ on lower trims; up to 10.5″ on higher trims Forester:7″ on lower trims; up to 11.6″ on higher trims Wireless Phone Charger All trim levels Rav4:available Tucson: available Forester: available CX-50: available HotSpot CR-V: available on Hybrids Rav4:available Tucson: available Forester: available CX-50: available
