Comparison Review

Comfort
The Audi Q8 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, with comparable head- and legroom. The Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Audi Q8.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Audi Q8 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Audi Q8 is much wider than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Audi Q8, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid.

Handling
The Audi Q8 has a significantly larger turning radius than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Audi Q8 has a little more horsepower than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Audi Q8 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Audi Q8 and the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid. The Audi Q8 has less cargo space than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
