Used Hyundai Tucson for Sale nearTacoma, WA

How much does the Hyundai Tucson cost in today's market?

Used Hyundai Tucson prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The Hyundai Tucson's current nationwide average price is $20,840, and its year-round low is $19,442.31. That puts the model in a broad price band that stretches from older, lower-cost examples to newer, higher-priced ones. Recently, prices have come down for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Hyundai Tucson a good car?

Yes — the Hyundai Tucson is a strong used-SUV pick if you want a well-rounded compact SUV with broad appeal and a high owner rating.

The all-generations owner rating is 4.52/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise the Tucson for its comfort, spacious interiors, and overall value for money. Many also appreciate the smooth driving experience and the modern tech features that make daily use easy. Across the model years, the Tucson’s roomy cabin and practical character come through as recurring strengths.

Expert reviews rate the 2024 and 2022 models among the highest across all years.

The main trade-offs that show up in recent expert reviews center on the standard powertrain’s modest pace, the infotainment system’s usability on some trims, and the learning curve for certain shifter controls on higher-spec versions. Even so, the Tucson’s mix of comfort, space, and equipment makes it an appealing used buy for many shoppers.

33.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Hyundai Tucson models reliable?

• Owners rate the Hyundai Tucson between 3.67 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, the long-term ownership picture looks strongest in later model years, where the Tucson’s comfort, safety, and value-oriented design come together most consistently.

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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 81.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2022 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: standard driver assistance features include automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, pedestrian and cyclist detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, automatic high beams, driver attention monitoring, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.
• Infotainment: an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto.

Which Hyundai Tucson trim should I buy?

The 2024 Hyundai Tucson offers these trims:

• SE: The base SE brings 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.
• SEL: The SEL adds push-button start, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, wireless device charging, and two more USB ports, making it the best-value trim for many shoppers.

What Hyundai Tucson do most buyers choose?

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

Higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, more trim choices, and more chances to find the equipment and price point you want. They also tend to be easier shopping targets when you want a broad selection of used examples.

What is the Hyundai Tucson's resale value?

The table shows broad year-over-year price declines across the Tucson lineup, which is helpful if you're shopping used and want to see values easing rather than rising. The steepest drops are concentrated in newer model years, while several older years show smaller changes. That pattern gives you more room to find a recent Tucson at a lower price than it held a year ago.

The 2023, 2024, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Hyundai Tucson safe?

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

The 2024 Tucson includes standard driver assistance features such as automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, pedestrian and cyclist detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, automatic high beams, driver attention monitoring, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.

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?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −10.44% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −2.63%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 33.9% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 33.6%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $23,599. The Hyundai Tucson offers a roomy cabin, useful cargo space, and a well-rounded driving character that make it easy to live with.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The 2024 Hyundai Tucson comes equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, 187 horsepower, and 178 pound-feet of torque.
• Tech: The standard infotainment system includes an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, while the SEL Convenience Package, XRT, and Limited trims all come with a fully digital instrument panel and a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2027 inventory to mature.
