AI generated from our expert reviews

You get a high seating position and good or decent all-round visibility in both the Hyundai Tucson and the Renault 4 E-Tech, but carrying three people across the rear seats will feel more than a little snug in the Hyundai and a terrible squeeze in the Renault. Room for adults is decent in the back of the Tucson, whereas adults in the back of the 4 E-Tech will probably start feeling cramped on long journeys. Fitting a child seat is quite comfortable in the Renault, while in the Hyundai you end up prodding and hoping because the mounting points are stuffed between the cushions. Practicality also favours the longer Tucson, which can tow more, has a bigger boot, and offers more room with the back seats folded.
