Hello.We’re renting an SUV that will involve driving in lower mountains and on some bumpy roads at times. There are two options: Hyundai Tucson Superior or Geely Azkarra (a Chinese SUV). Both are automatics. I don’t have any more detailed info: the rental car companies didn’t provide it.
I want the vehicle that has better suspension and smoother handling. I don’t like bumpy, uncomfortable vehicles.
If they are sold wherever you live, find one of each and sit in them. The Geely is a mild hybrid and may have greater range than the Hyundai. You might check YouTube for reviews of both.
Not really an option in many countries. I have driven in Europe and South America and I can say with confidence that smooth American roads and interstates are unlike most of the rest of the world.
