Which Hyundai Tucson trim should I buy?

• SE: The entry trim includes 17-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, two USB ports, remote keyless entry, a manually adjustable driver’s seat, HD radio, power windows, and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. It’s the best-value starting point if you want the Tucson’s core strengths at the lowest price.

What Hyundai Tucson do most buyers choose?

The Hyundai Tucson years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2023.

Higher-volume years usually give you more choices on trim, mileage, and condition, which makes it easier to compare listings and find a price that fits your budget. They also tend to be the years shoppers cross-shop most often because inventory is deeper and deal percentages stay competitive.

What is the Hyundai Tucson's resale value?

Most Tucson model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want to stretch your budget. The biggest drops are concentrated in newer and mid-cycle years, while a few older examples are declining more gradually. One recent model year is essentially flat, which suggests especially steady pricing at the top end of the used market.

The 2024 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2024, 2018, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
