It’s the best-value starting point if you want the core Tucson experience.

What Hyundai Tucson do most buyers choose?

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

The highest-volume years tend to be the most popular because they give you the broadest mix of availability, pricing, and deal opportunities. They also usually sit close to the sweet spot between newer features and used-car value.

What is the Hyundai Tucson's resale value?

Most Tucson model years are down year over year, which creates better buying opportunities for used shoppers. The sharpest declines are concentrated in newer and mid-cycle examples, while a few older years are falling more gradually. That mix suggests you can find stronger value in several recent model years without giving up the Tucson’s core appeal.

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

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

• 2024: 10/10
• 2022: 9/10
• 2021: 8/10
• 2016: 10/10

For the safest used buy, the 2016 and 2024 models both post the highest confirmed score of 10/10.

Should I buy a used Hyundai Tucson now or wait for the next model?
