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.

  Love it! - 2010 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Jm - November 22 - 10:00 pm

  I am very impressed with this car. I havent had a new car in 10 years, trading in my 1999 Honda Accord, which was a great car, and I made a great choice. I drive a LOT for work and this is a comfortable and fun car to ride when you have to be in it for long periods of time. Im impressed with the leather, I use the bluetooth ALL the time as I am constantly making work calls - people say they sometimes cant tell I am on a bluetooth. Little unimpressed with the speakers. My first tank avg was 24 mpg, second was 25, third was 28. Just seems to go up! GREAT car! My dad, a picky car mechanic, even loves it!

  Its a pleasure to drive and look at. - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Anthony Vozza - November 20 - 12:46 pm

  This is my first Hyandai and I must say I am so pleased. Its more than I expected and a good looker many stop to look at this suv. I get a new car every two or three years and I would imagine that this company will get my attention all the time. I was also impressed with the management of the dealership I purchased my car from.

  My 4th Hyundai - 2016 Tuscon - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Deborah Clem - November 1 - 9:00 am

  I traded a 2008 Sante Fe for this vehicle. I wanted one that was just a little smaller and had the safety feature of backup camera and hands free talking. This suv has 3 drive modes: regular, eco and sport. It drives great and the seats are very comfortable. I love the automatic day driving lights and the fact that I can open the trunk without unlocking the whole car.

  I LOVE IT!!! - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By trishc - October 30 - 5:26 pm

  This my first SUV- traded in my 2000 Mustang for more room and practicality. My dogs love it- I fold the back seats flat and they plenty of rooms to roam, and dont have to put their paws on the door handles! Very comfortable drive- I took it on a lengthy road trip, and didnt have an aching back when I got to my destination. Very fun to drive, and handles extremely well. Im extremely happy with my new investment!

  Would buy another one. - 2010 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Tucson Fan - October 29 - 6:50 pm

  This is my second Tucson. I owned a 2006 Tucson for four years and it was one of the most dependable and go-in- the-snow cars I had ever owned. I would still have my first one if Hyundai hadnt changed the body styles. I really love what Hyundai has done for the Tucson style. Hopefully, it will be mechanically as good as its former model.

  2005 tuscon gls 4wd 2.7 V6 - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Rita T. - October 27 - 8:06 am

  This vehicle has been with us for 1 month and there is a problem with it surging. The engine has died several times. It has been with the dealership for almost a week now. No one has bothered to diagnose the problem as of yet. The dealership did not want to give up a loaner in the meantime. we had to contact Hyundai to get the dealership to give a loaner while this one is being serviced. The dealership has only 2 techs. So they are backed up on service. All dealerships in the area are backed up and the wait time is always at least 2 weeks. What do you think? 1 month of ownership, 1400 miles, still in shop after 1 week waiting for repair, dealership making a bad situation worse.

  Sick of visiting the mechanic! - 2013 Hyundai TUCSON
  By michelle_3150 - October 24 - 5:26 pm

  I bought my Tucson in November 2013, a month after I had purchased it my problem started...I had not even reached my first oil change and my check engine light was on! I took it to the dealership I bought it from and they hooked it up to their fancy computer and diagnosed the check engine light had came on due to a cylinder misfire. They told me that they would have to do a computer update and that would fix the problem. Long story short I have been back to the dealership on average once a week for the same check engine light to be turned off. I have had a total of 4 computer updates, they have changed my spark plugs and coils two times and I still have the issue! Its been 9 month now!
