Hyundai Tucson 3 (TL)

Compact Crossover

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Hyundai Tucson 3 (chassis code TL) is a compact crossover in production from 2015 to 2020. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.6 to 2.4 liters as well as a hydrogen fuel cell drivetrain.

Compared to the Mk2 Tucson, the Mk3 is less ugly, though it still falls behind the larger Santa Fe. Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, need to think twice before pulling the trigger: the Hyundai Tucson is hardly the "offroader" that Hyundai would like you to think. The Hyundai Tucson III also comes with a high towing capacity.

Reviewer score 40% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

The Tucson is a fundamentally fine, if slightly insipid, SUV that sits in the well of acceptable competency alongside cars like the Renault Kadjar and its Kia Sportage sibling. With the diesel engine, it’s frugal and quiet enough, too. But bar a fraction more style and some comfier seats, N-Line doesn’t offer enough to justify the trade-off of a less comfortable ride.

Pros

Powerful diesel engine
Comfortable to drive
Decent handling

Cons

Not as sporty as some rivals
Alternatives are more fun to drive

Reviewer score 54% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

Hyundai has mixed its 48V starter-generator with its 2.0-litre diesel engine. It uses an eight-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive. The result is a family SUV that can crack 0-62mph in 9.5 seconds. It'll deliver fuel consumption of 49.6mpg on the tougher WLTP test cycle. CO2 emissions of 151g/km means a big VED hit in your first year.

Pros

Punchy electric power
Decent infotainment system

Cons

Lack of practicality
Expensive for what you get
