Hyundai Tucson Reviews
In-depth Professional Review

Driving Impressions - Final Word
Hyundai Tucson Review Summary
"The cloth seats are comfortable and well cushioned for long-distance travel without having to pause to retune the vertebrae."
"From a fit-and-finish standpoint, the Tucson is built as well, if not better, than any previous Hyundai."
"Not only is the V-6 spirited, it also performs quietly, a characteristic no longer reserved for the higher-priced competition."
"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."
"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."
What reviewers liked least about the Hyundai Tucson:
"Being car-based and with no 4WD-low setting, we wouldn't advise heavy-duty off-roading or attempting to climb over fallen limbs."
"Hyundai must improve its steering, which provides nothing you could describe as "feel"; it's a rubbery and disconnected experience."
"Leather reminded us of vinyl as much as cowhide, and interior plastics are hard and uninviting to the touch."
Hyundai Tucson Comparisons:
"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)."
"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."
"The Ford Escape/Mazda Tribute twins have the edge when it comes to athletic handling."
Best one-liners about the Hyundai Tucson:
"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."
