How much does the 2016 Hyundai Tucson cost?

Prices have softened 4.69% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,666 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

If you find a listing below $11,203.10, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

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 looks like a well-rounded compact SUV with a few important tradeoffs.

The model scores 10/10 across Look and feel and Safety.

Owners 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 redesigned cabin and strong safety reputation support its appeal if you want a compact SUV that feels more polished than basic. It also fits shoppers who value a practical, feature-rich crossover with strong everyday comfort.

The market currently shows 30.9% good or great deals, which suggests there are still worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2016 Hyundai Tucson reliable?

The 2016 Tucson’s redesign and Hyundai’s long warranty coverage point in a positive direction for dependability.

User feedback highlights reliability, and the expert evaluation also points to historically strong durability and a brand reputation that supports long-term ownership confidence. At the same time, the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is singled out as the main concern, so you should pay close attention to how the drivetrain behaves in real-world driving. For used buyers, that means the biggest long-term risk is not the whole vehicle, but whether the transmission has been trouble-free.

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

At 63% 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 thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing price looks unusually attractive. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, and how the drivetrain feels during low-speed driving and acceleration. If possible, test the vehicle in stop-and-go traffic so you can judge whether it behaves smoothly.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SE is the base trim, while Sport and Limited add more equipment. The Limited stands out for its larger touchscreen, navigation, premium audio, dual-zone automatic climate control, Blue Link connected services, and hands-free power liftgate, while the Sport also gets the hands-free liftgate. The base trim leaves out several convenience and technology upgrades that make the higher trims feel more complete.
• Powertrain: Every version except the base 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 engine feels stronger once it’s moving, but low-speed response is held back by turbo lag and transmission delay.
• 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. The Limited and its optional Ultimate Package are required for automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and the Ultimate Package also adds lane-departure warning.
• Infotainment: Limited models add 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 and safety-related functions available through subscription-based services.
• Fuel efficiency: The Tucson is rated at 24 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined, and the 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 entry point, and it makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the redesigned Tucson. It gives you the core package, but you give up the extra convenience, tech, and safety content that make the higher trims more appealing.
• Eco: This trim is for shoppers who want a step up from the base model without jumping all the way to the more feature-rich versions. It sits in the middle of the lineup and is best if you want a more balanced mix of equipment and value.
• Sport: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it adds useful equipment like the hands-free power liftgate and blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert. If you want a stronger feature set without going all the way to the top trim, this is the one to target.
• Limited: This is the most upscale choice, with the 8-inch touchscreen, navigation, premium audio, dual-zone climate control, Blue Link services, and the hands-free liftgate. It suits you best if you want the most comfort and technology in the lineup.

The Limited trim and its optional Ultimate Package are also required for automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and the Ultimate Package adds lane-departure warning.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 30.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,666 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.69% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 63.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $11,203.10, 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 $11,474 sits slightly below last year's $12,039.

That price movement suggests the Tucson has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help if you buy now and hold it for a while. For a future seller, the softer market means you may not recover as much as you would have a year ago, especially if your vehicle has higher mileage or prior damage. On the other hand, a well-kept Tucson with clean history and desirable equipment should still be easier to move than a rougher example.

Is the 2016 Hyundai Tucson safe?

The Tucson earns a Top Safety Pick from IIHS and gets Good ratings in every crash-test assessment, plus 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. That means the safest versions are the better-equipped trims, especially if you want the full driver-assistance suite.

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:

• 30.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 63% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.69% compared with last year.
• The 2016 model year stands out for its complete redesign, strong safety ratings, and broad feature availability.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned Tucson with strong safety credentials, good comfort, and a market that still offers some negotiating room, the 2016 is a sensible target. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you can still shop aggressively for a clean, well-maintained example, but you should be selective about history and drivetrain condition before committing.
