Both the 2007 CRV and Tucson are CBU. CRV is from Thailand while the Tucson is from Korea.
I'm not so sure if HARI still sells the 4x4 or AWD Tucson here. The latest Hyundai dealer price lists dont list it anymore.
AFAIK, the Tucson 4x4 that "used" to be available, only had driver's side airbag.

In terms of safety....
CRV ("Good" in the IIHS crash test-the highest mark).
In terms of interiors....
CRV
In terms of exteriors.... ehhhh its subjective. But for me its still
CRV
I dont know, maybe one reason why the Tucson's price is affordable is bec. of the very drab interior. Some local magazines and websites, commented that this is the area where one really feels the cost cutting.
