Is the Hyundai Tucson a good car?

Yes — the Hyundai Tucson is a strong used SUV choice if you want comfort, space, and value in a well-equipped package. The all-generations owner rating is 4.5/5 across every model year in the data.

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

What Hyundai Tucson do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you the broadest mix of availability, pricing, and deal opportunities. When more listings are on the market, you usually have more room to compare trims, colors, and equipment before you buy.

What is the Hyundai Tucson's resale value?

Most Tucson model years are down year over year, and several recent ones show double-digit declines. That creates a favorable setup for used buyers who want to shop recent model years at lower prices than they commanded a year ago. A few older years are falling more gradually, while the 2024 model is moving slightly higher.

The 2024, 2018, and 2016 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Hyundai Tucson safe?

• 2024: 10/10
