Hyundai Tucson

Unlock Ratings
The Tucson is a practical and affordable vehicle, with a roomy interior, as well as very good fit and finish. The ride is comfortable, but handling is not agile. Standard electronic stability control (ESC) and curtain airbags are notable safety features. Fuel economy was an unimpressive 18 mpg overall.

Overall Owner Satisfaction

Consumer Reports’ Annual Owner Satisfaction Survey can improve the chances of finding a compatible car match. How? Our survey data reveals whether, all things considered, owners would buy the same car again. The answer to that question is what determines our owner-satisfaction rating, which is a powerful piece of intel because it predicts how well a particular model will satisfy other owners.

Gerald S., TX (2005 Hyundai Tucson)

"First week of using new car while on vacation, a driver coming from the opposite direction dropped cell phone and was trying to retrieve it and was the first vehicle with ESC that we owned. Husband swerved right then left and right and on coming car missed us and hit head on to the car in back of us. We never tipped over or experienced the feeling of doing so. Which had sold us on buying our next car a Hyundai also."

Value

Did you get what you wanted relative to the price you paid?

What Owners Say

"Flatten down passenger seat along with back pass. seats is a bonus for hauling volume, along with general larger interior space. Additionally rear window opens. All of this NOT on 2010 Tucson."

John A., FL (2005 Hyundai Tucson)
