We also spent some time with the 2.2 - liter SkyActiv turbodiesel, which has plenty of midrange punch — thanks to 310 pound - feet of torque that comes on stream at 2000 rpm.
The Honda CR - V and Mazda CX - 5's direct - injection four - cylinders come closer to the Tucson's refinement levels but can't match the Hyundai's turbo punch and midrangetorque.
