External Reviews

autocar[1]

Reviewer score 68% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autocar have found:
The new Tucson is almost as bold as the outside. There’s a positively elegant sweep of fabric and metallic/piano black finishes across the dashboard, neatly integrating the air vents. The perforated leather seats on this car mark it out as a high-spec example. The outer rear seats are spacious, with decent head and leg room even if a tall occupant is in the front.
Pros
  • Fun to drive
  • Good ride
  • Decent infotainment system
Cons
  • Lack of practicality

autoexpress[2]

Reviewer score 69% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
The Tucson is Hyundai’s fourth-generation mid-size SUV. Prices start from around £29,000, making it a little more expensive than the likes of the Volkswagen Tiguan and Ford Kuga. The range lineup is pretty straightforward, starting with SE Connect, N Line and N Line S, then Premium and top-of-the-range Ultimate specifications. Power options centre around a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine in various states of tune and with varying degrees of hybrid assistance.
Pros
  • Cheap to buy
  • Stylish looks
  • Good standard equipment
Cons
  • Expensive for a mid-size SUV

carmagazine[3]

Reviewer score 54% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from carmagazine have found:
Five-seat Tucson is longer, wider and fractionally higher than before. Front end looks sensational, with the fragmented grille resembling the feathers in an eagle’s unfurled wings. Rear is equally eye-catching, with shark-fin motifs peppering the rear lights and D-pillar brightwork delivering real stand-out, and a hidden wiper under the chunky spoiler. Unfortunately the driving position isn't great. The base-spec SE Connect's seats are flat and thinly-padded.
Pros
  • Effortless infotainment
  • Comfortable to drive
Cons
  • Driving position isn’t great
  • Lack of tech overkill

Reviewers from cnet have found:
Hyundai offers the Tucson Hybrid in three trim levels. The base Blue comes in at $30,235, including $1,185 for destination. The upper-crust $38,535 Limited Hybrid has everything you could ever want in a compact SUV. The Tucson Hybrid is no less capacious than its gas-only counterpart.
Pros
  • Fantastic infotainment tech
  • Gorgeous interior
  • Lots of tech
Cons
  • No wireless CarPlay

digitaltrends[5]

Reviewer score 77% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from digitaltrends have found:
The Tucson Hybrid comes with a turbocharged, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and a 44.2-kW electric motor for a combined output of 226 horsepower. Unlike other hybrids, the drivetrain in the Tucson Hybrid uses a six-speed automatic transmission instead of a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) The SUV's hybrid components are backed by a 10-year, 100,000-mile warranty.
Pros
  • Sleek, refined styling
  • Comfortable ride
  • Excellent fuel economy
Cons
  • Lack of connectivity options
  • Lacks wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
