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.

  Mene Mene Tekel - 2010 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Josh - February 7 - 11:10 am

  A little over two months, wishing it had better features than I have found. When I am in the drivers seat, I am comfortable but I dont like looking at my co-driver. REASON? Poor head rests, nonadjustable horizontally. You can only raise them up, but not side ways i.e back and forward! I have found it a little wanting, not exactly what I expected.

  Great car. Lets hope it stays that way - 2011 Hyundai TUCSON
  By skiboy78 - January 30 - 12:30 am

  We bought this car almost exactly a year ago. we have almost 13,000 miles on it and no major problems. The only thing that went wrong is a screw came lose in the visor, but it was replaced under warranty. It has great power and we average 24 mpg city which is great for this size of a car. We did have an issue with the alarm going off and the electrical not working but I figured out that it was the main fuse. So just push it in and all back to normal (this only happened once so I havent bothered telling the dealer yet). I think thats what has happened to a few others. Otherwise, I love this car. It was a great deal, great ride, and GREAT looks! All around, great car!

  Need a new car buy a Tucson - 2007 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Roy Hancock - January 29 - 12:20 am

  From day one this has been a great SUV fun to drive on and off road (more fun off road). Controls all have great locations, but AC light ( dont know if it is on or off during the day with that little green light.) I have always had V8s so this was my first 4 cyc. At first it seemed a little slow to start, but what I soon came to realize is that I almost always had a jack rabbit starts with the V8s. Now I feel real comfortable with the 4 cyc, but what is the best is that I get 25 miles per gal arround town. This is much better than Hyundias claim of 23 MPG. If your looking for a new car or SUV test drive a Tucson, you will not regret it.

  Great car and great value. Just a few bugs - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
  By michael melgar - January 24 - 1:31 pm

  We already have a 2011 sonata and liked it so when we needed an SUV the Tucson seemed like a logical option. Weve had the car for a month and its been great except for a couple of items The car sometimes hesitates from a dead stop but not anything terrible. The GPS system is balky but I only have it because you need to order the ultimate package to get the front end collision avoidance system and the GPS comes with it. Why anyone would use this instead of Google maps is a mystery to me. The Bluetooth iPhone link is also balky. It was much better on the Sonata. Hands free dialing finds contacts too slowly and requires too many steps. Much easier to just use Siri. The 2011 Sonata without navigation had a better faster interface than my 2016 Tucson with Ultimate package. The seats are also a little firm but i knew that from the Sonata and decided to live with it since the rest of the car met my needs at a better price than the competition

  Tucson 2010 - 2010 Hyundai TUCSON
  By RJ - January 18 - 1:10 pm

  I’m really impressed with the Tucson 2010, before I decided for this car I test drove all the small SUVs out there, and I did not find anything that was close to the new Tucson, it makes the other brands looks like they are ripping you off, I has a nice look, the interior design is superb, the handling is awesome, extras only seen in a more expensive models, 5 year warranty, and a fair price, JUST GREAT! Give it a try, nothing is better for the price, I have had it for 6 months now and it’s a pleasure to drive, so far not a single problem.

  From a true owner - 2007 Hyundai TUCSON
  By 07TucsonGLS - January 17 - 10:00 pm

  I honestly love driving my Tucson, Its a fun car to drive especially when your using the Shift/Tronic Shifter in it... It can be a blast... Car can be very comfortable especially for long road trips... Awesome gas mileage, and even with a 4 Cyl engine my car off the line takes off pretty quick and is def. not scared to go fast.. I would recommend this car to anyone who enjoys keeping a nice car, the car is very easy to keep clean, The Tucson now has approx. 9,100 Miles and still runs like it was from the showroom floor. I had some complications with the dealership upon buying the car, and am still a little un-satisfied with them.. But can not bring myself the trade the car in and get a new 1

  Now we have 2 - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By LadyDi - January 13 - 2:36 am

  I got my Tucson after months of shopping and comparing. It is a pleasure to drive after my previous Toyota. I could tell by the look in his eyes the first time he drove it, he was in love so that when his car was totaled 2 weeks later. He went and got one. Now we have a blue and a red Tuscon.
