Hyundai Tucson (2021-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Lots of standard kit	Not all that fun to drive
Five-year warranty	Unsettled ride on big 19-inch wheels
Choice of hybrid powertrains	Plug-in hybrid range not a match for best in class

Quick Summary

The Hyundai Tucson (2021-present) is a deeply impressive midsize family SUV that represents a significant step up from its predecessor. With distinctive styling both inside and out, the Tucson offers generous space for passengers and luggage, boasting 620-litres of boot capacity in non-hybrid models. The post-facelift version from mid-2024 features a striking curved infotainment setup with dual 12.3-inch screens, whilst all models come generously equipped with standard features including leather-wrapped steering wheel, DAB, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, satnav, and dual-zone climate control.

The Tucson offers a choice of powertrains, including a 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine available as a non-hybrid, mild hybrid, self-charging hybrid, or plug-in hybrid. The 227bhp self-charging hybrid provides effortless acceleration and smooth, quiet driving, whilst the plug-in hybrid delivers around 40 miles of electric-only range in post-facelift versions. Running costs are competitive, with mild-hybrid models achieving 43.5mpg and the plug-in hybrid delivering more than 50mpg on longer journeys. Whilst the Tucson won't set your heart racing on a country road, it's an easygoing, well-built companion with excellent practicality and a five-year warranty.

Best for: Families seeking a spacious, well-equipped SUV with hybrid options, those prioritising comfort and practicality over driving dynamics, and buyers wanting excellent standard equipment and warranty coverage.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking an engaging, fun-to-drive experience, those sensitive to ride quality on larger alloy wheels, or buyers requiring class-leading plug-in hybrid range.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Tucson if: You're seeking a spacious, well-equipped SUV with hybrid options, prioritising comfort and practicality over driving dynamics, or wanting excellent standard equipment and warranty coverage.

Consider alternatives if: You're seeking an engaging, fun-to-drive experience, sensitive to ride quality on larger alloy wheels, or require class-leading plug-in hybrid range.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai Tucson (2021-present) is a strong contender in the midsize family SUV market, offering excellent value, generous standard equipment, and a comprehensive five-year warranty. Whilst the Kia Sportage and Volkswagen Tiguan edge ahead on expert ratings, the Tucson matches them on overall CarGurus ratings and user satisfaction. Its choice of hybrid powertrains, spacious interior, and competitive pricing make it an excellent all-round family SUV. The BYD Seal U offers an alternative for those seeking Chinese-built value, but the Tucson's warranty and established brand reputation provide greater peace of mind.
