Qashqai or Tucson?

Qashqai or Tucson?

Hi. We are looking at buying an SUV. We live in Dublin but travel quite a bit in the country. We are looking at a Nissan 1.5 D Quashqai and also looking at the Hyundai Tuscon 1.7 D Executive. We have test driven both but have difficulty making up our minds.Whats your opinion and how are they as per MPG?...Thanks Helen

Our answer:

Hi Helen,

In economy terms, both will probably work out at about 45mpg in daily driving. You might crack 50mpg on longer, gentler journeys, but a lot depends on how you drive. 

In choosing between the two, it really comes down to your priorities. The Nissan is nicer to drive and is arguably the better looking car, the Hyundai is roomier inside and has a longer warranty. Which matters more to you?
