Model Overview:

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.

    This SUV is great. Good gas mileage, rides like a very expensive car, awesome 6 cd stereo, heated leather seats my wive loves, plenty of head room, six air bags, stability control, abs brakes. This SUV has it all for only $ 20,000. I truly recomend this SUV

  • Poor mans Lexus - 2007 Hyundai TUCSON

    Shopped for a resonably priced small SUV, to replace my wifes aging Cadillac, She wanted to sit higher with better visability, and fuel economy The Tucson fit the need very well, only having it for a short time though- so cannot make a determination as to reliabilty--However it sure is very well appointed, and the build quality is nice--terrific feature set for the bargain minded

  • More Bang for My / Our Buck - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    The wife and I were looking for a SUV without the SUV price. We are also planing for a family and LOVED ALL THE BELLS and WHISTLES on the Tucson LX that came standard. We treated ourselves. It was worth the jump from GL to LX The Autoplex mall here in Hawaii was no pressure and traded in our VW Jetta and never looked back.

  • Could be better - 2007 Hyundai TUCSON

    We generally like the car. It has been reliable and the gas mileage not bad - around 30 mpg on a trip. The 4 cylinder is underpowered but adequate for around town and long trips providing you dont live in the mountains.

  • A solid automobile with stylish class - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    My backbacker magazine introduced me to the Tuscon and I stopped in the local dealer on a saturday night and took a test drive, wow this was it, I ended up buying it a week later on a thursday night when a fresh delivery arrived with the exact model i wanted, silver with a sunroof. The ride is very stable, the suspension and tires are firm and smooth riding. Spacious interior. The only thing I dont like is the gas mileage, although it may be just that it has an accurate guage. my other cars never dipped off of full in the first 50-75 miles. But this dips quicker. so maybe its just accurate. Thus I dont have any complaints. I opted for the 10/100 all around bumper to bumper and powertrain.

  • I REALLY wanted to love this car... - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    I really wished these reviews had been on this website before I decided to lease this car. I REALLY REALLY wanted to love this car. I chose the 2016 Tuscon over a certified pre-owned Santa Fe and now I am regretting that decision. I got this car March of this year (2016) and everything seemed great at first. Oddly enough, I never noticed the hesitation when accelerating from a stop when taking the car for a test drive. I read a review on here that said that it was normal for a turbo engine but trust me, NOTHING about this engine is normal or safe. The dealership and Hyundai will also try to tell you over and over that the engine is normal. I receive BlueLink reports every month and EVERY TIME it has told me that the engine needs attention even though I have been getting regular oil changes and service performed. This never happened with the Sonata I leased before this car. Everything other reviewers have said about this car is true. It is extremely unfortunate because I love everything else about this car. I get compliments constantly on the look (I got the Caribbean blue) and the entertainment and safety features are awesome but I just absolutely hate the engine. Almost every time I try to accelerate from a dead stop, the car hesitates for a good 1-5 seconds and this leaves you completely stuck on the road. It feels like Im being rear-ended whenever Im in stop and go traffic on the freeway because the car is so jerky. It is also very jerky sometimes when accelerating. Its a nightmare!! Now Im a person who gets motion sickness but usually I dont get car sick as long as Im driving but I swear this car makes me feel sick! I was really hoping the software update would fix it but it didnt....Im afraid it only made it worse because the car feels jerkier than ever. It also feels like the car isnt going to brake sometimes which is extremely scary. I have also had weird computer glitches. One time I turned the car on and the navigation system was stuck on the screensaver and would not work. Just recently, the car warned us that the back right tire had low tire pressure but my husband checked all of the tires and they were fine. I am also disappointed that it doesnt have a CD player....Im sure most people wouldnt mind since everyone uses an iPod these days but I noticed that the other Hyundai models do and theyre the same year. This seemed a little odd to me. It is VERY disappointing that Hyundai refuses to acknowledge this very serious problem (the transmission, not the CD player lol). I considered myself a loyal Hyundai customer before but I think Im going to have to look somewhere else for my new car. I plan to transfer my lease and get into a new car ASAP. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!

  • Awesome but a few problems - 2010 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    This car is wonderful but there are issues. Bluetooth is horrible. People cant hear you. Also had problems with battery drainage but seems solved. Gas mileage is not at all what they say. I get 20-22 city and 26 on road with avg of 24. They just lied on the window sticker.

  • First New Car - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    Im an army guy and I just bought my Tucson fully loaded 3,000 miles ago. It has been wonderful. I moved from GA to upstate NY and needed the winter features and 4WD. I love the car, the price and the warranty. The SanteFe I drove did not fit my 64 frame as well as the Tucson does. I got the extended warranty option which is 10 years bumper to bumper and its transferable! The price was the same as the sunroof. I testdrove all of its competitors and thought it over for couple weeks. I love the car.

  • What a Fun SUV - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    This is such a fun car to drive. Has the pep to move in traffic but still gets good gas mileage, Only need a homelife garage door opener

  • Very nice, but..... - 2010 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    The rear visibility is a bit tough, but the rear camera really helps. It drives nicely w/ great power for a 4 cylinder. The price was not cheap, and the features that my 10 year old Ford has and this doesnt are very concerning. I cover them below.
