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.

  WHAT a Car! - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By ktb - November 5 - 7:36 pm

  Ive owned my Tucscon just a little over a year and absolutely love it for so many reasons...1) its comfortable; 2) its storage - thats AMAZING...it is like an optical illusion, so much can fit into that car with the seats down, its unbelieveable. This is my second Hyundai and while I initally bought for value, I will continue to purchase cars by this manufacturer because my experience have been nothing but positive!

  Value for money - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Sundar - November 1 - 11:26 am

  Bought new and driving for almost 4 years - no breakdowns till date - running smooth. Poor mileage (19-20 mpg)- time to replace the stock tires (39,000 - guess not bad). Car used to pull towards right - aligned the wheels twice (almost everytime during the scheduled service) - they cant figure out why its pulling like that - now theyre saying it could be due to worn out tires - but the problem started after 20k miles.. I am going to put Michelin on it next week and balance the wheels once again - will see if the problem still persists. Otherwise a great car - my first car was a sonata which also did great for 5 years.. I hope Tuscon also does well in the coming years!

  Love this car! - 2007 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Margaret - October 25 - 10:10 am

  Just bought it on 11/15/06. Traded in a 2001 Ford Escape. More room than the Escape. Much better gas mileage. Got the two tone platinum. Doesnt show dirt. Everything within reach. Miss the leather and the 6 cd changer from the Escape, but glad I made the purchase.

  It is my first car. It is fun to drive. The engine is not powerful enough, anyway, it is 2.0L.

  2005 Tucson - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Mary Kay - October 23 - 5:26 am

  After looking at every small and midsize suv out there, I found the Tucson by accident. I went to look at the Santa Fe, and saw the Tucson. I didnt need to drive it off the parking lot and knew it was the one I wanted. I have been estatic with this purchase. What a vehicle for the money. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Has great pick up, no outside noise when windows are up and driving 55 mph. Has best headroom I have come across, even better then the exployer which I have also owned. Best purchase I have made.

  Hyundai Tucson LX - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By lernerh - October 6 - 12:16 am

  I have been a car owner since 1952. This is the most fun to drive of any car I have had. The front wheel drive is adequately powered to make the steering delicious, especially with a small turning radius. This gives outstanding control. In other words, you go very clealy to whereever you point the vehicle. You have to try it to feel it! The interior is "vanilla" in good industrial esthetic taste, but for this price, considering every other luxury feature, I cant complain.

  Could be better - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Robert Peck - October 3 - 1:06 am

  I am pleased with the overall value of my Tucson ,but the mileage it is getting is a big disappointment. But besides that, I am very happy with my decision to buy the Tucson.

  We purchased this vehicle for price and economy with gas. We also are pleased with the four wheel drive for bad weather. All and all weve been very satisfied with this vehicle.

  SWEET THING - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By BARBARA - September 22 - 2:16 am

  I love the vehicle.Fun to drive gas mileage is o.k. about 19 mpg city 25 hwy.Smart looking,ample cargo room.Inside plastics are a bit cheesy and cloth seats could use some updating on design. Stability control is really great.I have the wood trim package and it dresses up the interior nicely. I plan on owning this vehcle for many years.The only fault I find with this vehicle is it is a bit sluggish even with 6cyl. engine. Other than that I love my Tucson!
