What Hyundai Tucson do most buyers choose?

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

What is the Hyundai Tucson's resale value?

Most Tucson model years are down year over year, which is helpful if you’re shopping used and want to benefit from softer pricing. The biggest drops are concentrated in newer and mid-cycle years, while a few older examples are down more modestly. That pattern suggests there are opportunities across the lineup, especially if you’re flexible on model year.

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

The 2024, 2017, and 2018 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
