Professional Reviews

• “Being car-based and with no 4WD-low setting, we wouldn't advise heavy-duty off-roading or attempting to climb over fallen limbs.” — Cars.com
• “The cloth seats are comfortable and well cushioned for long-distance travel without having to pause to retune the vertebrae.” — Cars.com
• “From a fit-and-finish standpoint, the Tucson is built as well, if not better, than any previous Hyundai.” — AutoWeek
• “The V6, while stronger than the Japanese competitors' engines, could use more power (Ford's new V6 Escape trumps the Tucson, with 200 hp and 193 lb-ft).” — AutoWeek
• “Headroom, legroom and interior volume fall within the segment's range. At 170.3 inches long, it is shorter than the CR-V and Outlander, but its 103.6-inch wheelbase is nearly six inches greater than the RAV4's.” — AutoWeek
• “You can leave it in the driveway for others to admire that it's a lot of vehicle for the money-and is a Hyundai.” — Cars.com
• “Not only is the V-6 spirited, it also performs quietly, a characteristic no longer reserved for the higher-priced competition.” — Cars.com
• “Hyundai must improve its steering, which provides nothing you could describe as "feel"; it's a rubbery and disconnected experience.” — AutoWeek
• “The Ford Escape/Mazda Tribute twins have the edge when it comes to athletic handling.” — Edmunds.com
• “Leather reminded us of vinyl as much as cowhide, and interior plastics are hard and uninviting to the touch.” — AutoWeek
• “Even my co-driver, who tugged and pulled at interior trim panels, was impressed by the solid-as-a-rock assembly of the Tucson's cabin.” — Edmunds.com
• “Entry-level model comes with the latest safety features (such as stability control and side curtain airbags) that just a few years ago were seen only on luxury-brand SUVs.” — Edmunds.com
