How much does the 2016 Hyundai Tucson cost?

Prices have softened 3.03% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,572 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2016 Hyundai Tucson a good car?

The 2016 Hyundai Tucson is a compelling used small SUV if you want a polished, well-equipped crossover with strong safety credentials, though its appeal depends on whether the standard powertrain works for you.

It earns a 3.8/5 user rating and a 7.8/10 expert rating. The model scores 10/10 across Look and feel and Safety.

Drivers commonly praise the smooth ride, comfortable interior, and reliability, and many also like features such as cooled seats and the panoramic roof. The overview also points to a more comfortable and functional cabin, plus strong practicality and available safety and infotainment technology.

Only 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market is selective rather than broadly discounted.

Is the 2016 Hyundai Tucson reliable?

The 2016 Hyundai Tucson is presented as a model with historically solid durability, and the overview emphasizes Hyundai’s long warranty protection as part of its ownership appeal.

User feedback also points to reliability as a strength, with drivers describing the Tucson as smooth, comfortable, and reliable. The expert commentary adds that Hyundai’s long-running warranty coverage and the brand’s track record support dependability, while also noting that the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission could be a source of owner complaints over time.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is the transmission, so a careful test drive and service-history review matter more than usual.

What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Hyundai Tucson?

At 61.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should run a vehicle history report before you commit, then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that checks bodywork, electronics, and how the transmission behaves at low speeds. Because this model’s appeal depends heavily on condition and equipment, it makes sense to focus on how well the cabin, safety tech, and drivetrain have held up.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SE is the base trim, while Sport and Limited add more equipment and features. The Limited stands out for its larger touchscreen infotainment system, navigation, premium sound system, dual-zone automatic climate control, and Blue Link connected services, while the Sport and Limited also add a hands-free power-operated rear liftgate.
• Powertrain: Most versions use a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a 7-speed EcoShift dual-clutch automated manual transmission. The powertrain delivers strong midrange acceleration once moving, but the transmission and turbo lag can make low-speed response feel hesitant.
• Safety package: Every Tucson includes a standard reversing camera. Sport and Limited models add blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert and lane-change assist, while the Limited and its optional Ultimate Package are required for automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection; the Ultimate Package also adds lane-departure warning.
• Infotainment: Limited models get an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation and a premium sound system. Blue Link connected services are included on Limited models, with features such as SOS emergency calling, automatic collision notification, remote engine start, remote locking, stolen vehicle recovery, and speed, curfew, and geographic boundary alerts.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA figures cited are 24 mpg in the city, 28 mpg on the highway, and 26 mpg combined.

Which 2016 Hyundai Tucson trim should I buy?

The 2016 Hyundai Tucson is offered in 4 trim levels: SE, Eco, Sport, and Limited.

Here's the short version:

• SE: This is the entry point, so it makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the redesigned Tucson, but it misses out on some of the nicer convenience and tech upgrades found higher up the range.
• Eco: This trim is the better fit if you want a step up from the base model without jumping all the way to the more feature-rich versions, and it should appeal if you value a more balanced equipment mix.
• Sport: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the hands-free power-operated rear liftgate and the blind-spot warning system with rear cross-traffic alert and lane-change assist.
• Limited: Choose this if you want the most upscale Tucson experience, including the 8-inch touchscreen, navigation, premium audio, dual-zone climate control, and Blue Link connected services.

The safety-package trim note is simple: the most advanced driver-assistance features, including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection and lane-departure warning, require the Limited trim and its optional Ultimate Package.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Hyundai Tucson?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully rather than rush.

• Deal availability: 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,572 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.03% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 61.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $11,080, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2016 Hyundai Tucson's resale value?

The current average of $11,080 sits slightly below last year's $11,426.

That softer pricing suggests the Tucson has already moved into a more buyer-friendly part of its depreciation curve. If you buy well now and keep the vehicle in good condition, you may be able to limit the hit from further depreciation compared with paying closer to the prior-year average.

For a future seller, the key takeaway is that value is being supported by a lower current entry price, but not by strong upward momentum. That means condition, trim, and maintenance history will matter a lot when it comes time to resell.

Is the 2016 Hyundai Tucson safe?

The 2016 Hyundai Tucson earns a Top Safety Pick rating from IIHS.

It earns a 10/10 safety score from our experts.

Every Tucson includes a standard reversing camera, and Sport and Limited models add blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert and lane-change assist. The Limited trim and its optional Ultimate Package are required for automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and the Ultimate Package also adds lane-departure warning.

Should I buy a 2016 Hyundai Tucson or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2016 if:

• 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 61.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.03% compared with last year.
• The redesigned model year brings stronger styling, a more comfortable and functional interior, top safety ratings, and better cargo space and available tech.

The bottom line: If you want the most polished version of this generation with strong safety and a lower used price, the 2016 is the right place to start. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you can still shop carefully within this year’s market and focus on the cleanest, best-maintained example you can find.
