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.

  I Love It - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By char - November 30 - 10:23 pm

  I love driving my tucson. We have four car seats in the car! We have no problem fitting in. Also it is pretty fast for the price. I chose this car over the Ford Escape because of price and power.

  Fun to drive and cute too. I am very happy I purchased this vehicle. I would definitely buy another one. She turns on a dime and very easy to maneuver. Shifts smooth and the clutch is real easy. LOVE the stereo and all the standard features. Excellent for the money! Cant wait for snow!

  On July 3 and 15 almost within a 2 week span, I was driving slowly uphill on a slight incline hill for about 1 1/2 miles and through 2 different tunnels. I was caught in 2 traffic jams. A vehicle stalled in the tunnels that caused only one lane to be useable and caused the traffic jams. The traffic was merging from 2/3 lanes to 1 lane, and moving slowly, bumper to bumper. I had the warning messages and sounds that the transmission was overheated and to stop my car. Since it was unsafe to stop in the tunnel, I forced my vehicle move out of the tunnel. I was only allowed to drive very slowly. Even by pressing the accelerator pedal, I could barely get the car to move. I could only stop at a safe location outside of the tunnel. Although there were numerous cars that got stuck in the traffic jams, they did not have problem like me and were able to drive faster once they passed the stalled vehicle and the other lanes opened up. I was lucky for not being stalled in the tunnel that could have caused a hazard condition and a safety problem.

  Love this SUV - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Kait - November 17 - 12:06 am

  This is a great truck. It meets my needs for something fun to drive, comfortable, and with a good basic sound system. It meets my husbands needs for something that looks "rugged" that can handle hauling all of our camping equipment for our trips to the North Shore. It handled great through the MN winter and is a fun truck to zip around in.

  gls 2.7 6cyl - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By 06 tuscon - November 16 - 9:00 am

  Bought my tucson in june of 2006 with careful consideration, I love this car, it has great handling, manuervabilty and easy to drive. I like the rear seats fold flat for hauling things, and the rear window opens as well as the door. the tucson has five star crash test for the front as well as the sides. although the tucson can use little bit more horse power, I am quite happy with the performance after 10 thousand miles. I am getting 19.5-20.5 mpg in town and 23-24 mpg on highway going 80 mph+. I also like the mirrors that fold both ways to prevent someone walking by and breaking them.

  Really wonderful vehicle to own with an excellent driving experience. Dealer ready to discuss pricing and very comfortable buying experience. Awesome features. Atleast 4-5K more on any other brand model. Wonderful warranty. Must check out if in market for a compact SUV. I am getting a mileage of 26-27 miles a gallon.

  Best little SUV Ive Ever Had - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Gale - November 13 - 8:30 pm

  I have had larger SUVs and sedans and this is the best car I have had. It is great around town and for those trips to Home Depot or the Vet with my dogs, all the seats fold down.On the highway it is a joy with a large windshield to see and the height of other large SUVs . I cant see how the Sante Fe would be bigger because the layout and extra details in the Tucson are so great. Plus curtain airbags and ESB stablizer to help with over correction makes me feel so safe. The only draw back is the gas mileage is a little les than they promise , but I still drive for about 2 weeks on a tank. This is a great car!!!

  Great ride on the bumpy roads. Performs well in the difficult weather. Very roomy in the rear. The price is right. I have a positive feeling about the purchase.

  Hyundai just earned a loyal customer - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Tahoe Commuter - November 6 - 12:03 pm

  I never thought Id own a Hyundai but after driving it, pricing it out at $7,000 LESS than a similarly-equipped 06 Toyota RAV-4 Limited V6, and examining the unbelievable warranty (100,000 miles on the powertrain), I was sold. I got a great deal, too, under invoice. Unless youre worried about overpaying for a nameplate to impress your neighbors, this is a no- brainer if you want a small SUV.
