Overview & Reviews

A compact crossover SUV, the Hyundai Tucson is aimed at buyers seeking the tall ride height and cargo convenience of a utility vehicle in a small, affordable package. Introduced for the 2005 model year, the Tucson has always offered a generous list of standard equipment and a lengthy warranty.

Although early versions of this Hyundai crossover have a decidedly budget feel, 2010 and later Tucsons have distinctive exterior styling and a slick interior to match. Acceleration and handling are also much better on the newer models, and fuel economy is significantly improved. Recent Tucson models are worth consideration if you're shopping for a used small crossover.

  Anti perforation warranty - Rust? - 2007 Hyundai TUCSON
  By gargoyle - November 20 - 11:23 am

  Pretty good car. Doesnt handle potholes or bumps as well as the Pontiac Torrent, but still very nice for the price.

  value, value, value. - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Corey - November 10 - 10:56 am

  Hyundai has attempted to do what honda and toyota have done for years with the RAV4 and CR-v: which is sell great "crossovers" to an ever growing market. weve had our Tucson for over a year and are still enamoured with it. The only reason we would get rid of it is to move up to the Santa Fe to accomodate our growing family. As other have mentioned, price, standard features, and build and ride quiality are the main reasons to by this car. All Toyota/Honda give you is 20 more HP in the engine at a cost of thousands. We have the 4 cyl. and it is perfect for what we need: mostly city driving. We did take it from home - Toronto- to Cape Cod and with the car packed got 25 mpg.

  Tuscon just shy of Outlander - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
  By harry lawrence - November 5 - 3:33 am

  Priced to compete with the Highlander it cannot match safety and resale. Outlander best of both worlds with all safety features at price of base Tuscon

  I LOVE my Hyundai!! - 2012 Hyundai TUCSON
  By camillerrose - October 27 - 10:58 am

  Before buying my hyundai in November 2011, I tested out a few other SUVs and out of all of them I loved the Tucson! I was given a really good price and was able to do a trade-in. I love traveling, so Im always in my car. Very cozy, and I enjoy all of the accessories inside and out. There werent too many color choices when picking out the vehicle, but Im not complaining. I get compliments from everyone around town. I actually feel safe when Im driving in the car. Very good choice when changing from a sedan to SUV! Now my SUV has tinted windows, street-glow and a system, which the vehicle handles everything VERY well! Ive had the Tucson for 8.5 months and have gone about 11,500 miles

  Great car but I hate the radio - 2014 Hyundai TUCSON
  By deking - October 9 - 5:40 pm

  The Tucson is a nice solid SUV that drives and rides like a sedan. The seats are very comfortable, the A/C works perfectly. We love everything about the car except for the radio, which needs a copilot, especially a very young one, to operate. What ever happened to user friendly? Every new Hyundai I get has a completely new radio design and every one gets harder to use. No pushbutton resets on this one, and there is a small display that is impossible for the driver to see and use while driving. A very unsafe situation if you want to change stations on the highway. I have complained to Hyundai but they dont seem to understand.

  2005 Hyundai--My First SUV - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Bill Becker - September 28 - 2:20 pm

  The Tucson handles well and has a very short turning radius, which comes in handy in parking lots. It also will fit into those compact car spaces. It accelerates very well and gets up to highway speed quickly. I hae the 4 cylinder, smallest available, front wheel drive, 5 speed manual transmission. Im averaging between 26 and 30 mpg, combined highway/city. This will probably be the last new car I buy and this is the 3rd Hyundai that Ive owned and have absolutely no complaints about the product or the service Ive received from the dealership. They will and do go the extra mile.

  GREAT BUY - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By aubrey - September 25 - 1:43 pm

  Decent power; nice, car-like handling. Aside from the Freelander, its the most stylish in its class. Actually has some off-roading ability, too, and the locking front and rear is a big plus AWD is great in the snow. Love all the little things (i.e., fold-flat back seats, storage, dual visors w/mirrors, red lights when you open the doors, dual exhaust, change holder, etc.). Where else can you get stability/traction control, AWD, 6 airbags, 4 disc brakes, ABS, 6-disc in-dash CD w/subwoofer, fog lights, V6 auto w/Shiftronic, plus a long list of other standard features all for about 23,000? I thoroughly researched the market and the Tucson is unbeatable for the value.

  Great car, I would buy it again. - 2011 Hyundai TUCSON
  By heffelz8 - September 24 - 5:47 pm

  My wife and I bought this as our very first new car together. We bought the AWD as we live in Michigan and winters can be a bit hectic sometimes. In town we average around 22 mpg. Not bad, but highway is anywhere from 26-34 mpg, depending on how heavy your foot is. When we cruise at 55-65 mph is where we really get between 32-34 mpg. Other than that, it relatively good in the snow and there is plenty of fold down cargo space. If you utilize the trunk, you may be disappointed as there is not much trunk space. Overall its a great car, 13k on it and not a problem. Ill wait till it hits 60,000 before writing another review.
