How much does the 2016 Hyundai Tucson cost?

Prices have softened 4.36% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,605 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2016 Hyundai Tucson a good car?

With a 3.83/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating, the 2016 Hyundai Tucson lands in appealing territory for shoppers who want a well-rounded compact crossover rather than a pure enthusiast pick. 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 Tucson’s redesign also gives you strong styling, a more functional cabin, and useful cargo space, which fits buyers who want everyday practicality with a more polished feel.

Only 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market still rewards careful comparison shopping.

Is the 2016 Hyundai Tucson reliable?

The 2016 Tucson benefits from Hyundai’s long-standing warranty reputation and a history of solid durability, which supports its dependability story. User feedback also points to reliability as a strength, with many drivers describing the SUV as dependable and trouble-free over the long term.

At the same time, the turbocharged 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is a recurring concern, and the expert review notes that it may generate negative owner feedback over time. For used buyers, that means long-term ownership risk is tied less to the overall package and more to how the powertrain has held up in real-world use.

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

At 61.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with a spotty service record. Focus on overall condition, signs of prior bodywork, and how the transmission behaves in everyday driving, since that’s the area most likely to affect ownership satisfaction.

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 8-inch touchscreen, navigation, premium sound system, dual-zone automatic climate control, and Blue Link connected services, while the Sport and Limited also add more convenience and safety content than the SE.
• Powertrain: Every version except the SE uses a turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine with 175 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 7-speed EcoShift dual-clutch automated manual transmission. The review notes noticeable turbo lag and delayed low-speed response, even though the engine and transmission feel stronger once the Tucson is moving.
• Safety package: Every 2016 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: The Limited gets an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation and a premium sound system. Blue Link connected services are also included on Limited models, with remote-access features available through subscription-based service tiers.
• Fuel efficiency: The Tucson is rated at 24 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined, and the review’s test average came in at 24.7 mpg.

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 value entry point if you want the redesigned Tucson at the lowest price, but it misses out on the turbocharged engine used by the other trims and leaves you with the most basic equipment set.
• Eco: This trim gives you the turbocharged 1.6-liter engine and a better-equipped feel than the SE, making it a smart middle-ground choice if you want more performance and efficiency without moving all the way up the range.
• Sport: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds useful convenience and safety content, including the hands-free power liftgate and blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert and lane-change assist.
• Limited: Choose this if you want the most features, including the 8-inch touchscreen, navigation, premium audio, dual-zone climate control, and Blue Link connected services. It also unlocks the most advanced safety tech when equipped with the Ultimate Package.

The Limited and its optional Ultimate Package are the trims tied to the Tucson’s automatic emergency braking and lane-departure warning features.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,605 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.36% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 61.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $11,202, 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 $11,453 sits slightly below last year's $11,975.

That tells you the Tucson has softened enough to create a more approachable entry point for used buyers. If you plan to sell later, the current trend suggests you should expect a market that is still adjusting rather than one that is rapidly appreciating.

For a future seller, that means condition and equipment will matter a lot. A clean history, strong maintenance records, and desirable trim content should help your listing stand out more than simply waiting for the market to move in your favor.

Is the 2016 Hyundai Tucson safe?

The 2016 Tucson earns a Top Safety Pick rating from IIHS and a Superior rating for front crash prevention.

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

Every 2016 Tucson comes with 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:

• 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 61.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.36% compared with last year.
• The redesign brings stronger styling, a more functional interior, top safety ratings, and broad feature appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned Tucson with strong safety credentials, good everyday usability, and a more attractive price than it carried a year ago, the 2016 is the right place to focus. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you can still shop carefully and target the lower end of the range, but you should be selective about history and condition because a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents.
