How much does the 2016 Hyundai Tucson cost?

Prices have softened 3.72% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,589 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare on price, mileage, and condition.

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 if you want a compact crossover that emphasizes style and everyday usefulness over outright driving excitement.

Drivers repeatedly praise its 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 well-rounded package with strong styling, a more functional cabin, and useful cargo space, which makes it a practical fit if you want a small SUV that feels more polished than basic.

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

Only 34.2% 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 Hyundai Tucson benefits from Hyundai’s long-running warranty reputation and a history of generally solid durability, which supports its dependability story.

User feedback also points to reliability as a strength, with owners describing the Tucson as reliable even while some note concerns tied to safety and transmission issues. The expert review adds that the redesigned model’s new powertrain and technology make long-term outcomes harder to predict, and it specifically flags the 7-speed automated manual transmission as a likely source of owner complaints. On the plus side, free roadside assistance is available for the first 5 years or 60,000 miles of ownership.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the transmission and related drivability concerns could affect satisfaction and repair exposure over time.

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

At 61% 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 you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with a spotty service record. Pay close attention to how the transmission behaves at low speeds, whether the brakes feel consistent, and whether any safety or infotainment features work as expected. Condition matters a lot here, because the Tucson’s appeal depends heavily on getting the right mix of equipment and a clean ownership history.

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 Sport and Limited also get the hands-free power-operated rear liftgate. The base trim misses some of the more desirable convenience and tech upgrades, so the Limited is the best-value choice if you want the fullest feature set.
• Powertrain: Every version except the base SE uses a turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder with 175 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 7-speed EcoShift dual-clutch automated manual transmission. The engine delivers strong midrange pull once it’s moving, but turbo lag and low-speed hesitation are notable drawbacks.
• 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, so lower trims miss some of the most advanced driver-assistance features.
• Infotainment: The Limited gets an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation and a premium sound system. Blue Link connected services are also available there, including SOS emergency calling, automatic collision notification, remote engine start, remote lock access, stolen vehicle recovery, and speed, curfew, and geographic boundary alerts. The system is feature-rich, but voice recognition is not a strong point.
• 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 gets the core styling and practicality, but you give up much of the convenience and safety content that makes the higher trims more appealing.
• Eco: This trim sits above the SE and is a better fit if you want a step up in equipment without going all the way to the top. It keeps the Tucson’s core strengths while moving you closer to the more desirable feature 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. If you want a strong balance of equipment and price, this is the trim to focus on.
• Limited: This is the most fully equipped choice, with the 8-inch touchscreen, navigation, premium audio, dual-zone climate control, Blue Link services, and the features needed for automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. If you want the most advanced tech and safety content, this is the one to buy.

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

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to shop carefully but not so much that every listing is a bargain.

• Deal availability: 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,589 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.72% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 61.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $11,201, 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 $11,382 sits slightly below last year's $11,822.

That softer pricing suggests the Tucson has moved into a more buyer-friendly phase, which can help you if you’re shopping now but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. The current trend also implies that future sellers may need to price competitively to stand out, especially if their vehicle lacks desirable trim content or has accident history. If you buy well and keep the Tucson in clean condition, you should be better positioned than owners of rougher examples when it’s time to sell.

Is the 2016 Hyundai Tucson safe?

The 2016 Hyundai Tucson is a Top Safety Pick from the IIHS and earns five-star ratings in all NHTSA tests.

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 and its optional Ultimate Package are required for automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and the Ultimate Package also adds lane-departure warning. The expert review also notes that the automatic emergency braking system is effective.

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:

• 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 61% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.72% compared with last year.
• It’s the first year of the redesign, with standout styling, a more functional interior, strong safety credentials, and broad appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned Tucson’s styling, safety, and feature-rich value, the 2016 model is a strong place to start. If you’re especially price-sensitive, focus on clean, well-maintained examples and be selective about trim, since the better-equipped versions deliver much more of what makes this Tucson appealing.
