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 popular midsize family SUV, showcasing Hyundai's shift towards more aspirational models. It boasts distinctive styling, both inside and out, with post-facelift models featuring a striking curved infotainment setup with twin 12.3-inch screens. Competing with mainstream rivals while also aiming for premium brands, the Tucson offers impressive road presence and a high-quality interior feel.

Practicality is a strong suit, providing generous passenger space and a substantial boot of up to 620 litres. Power comes from a 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine, available in mild-hybrid, self-charging hybrid, and plug-in hybrid forms, making it an easygoing and comfortable companion. Running costs are competitive, with the plug-in hybrid offering impressive, albeit conditional, efficiency. It's a well-equipped and well-built SUV, offering good value for money, backed by a strong five-year warranty.

Best for: Buyers seeking a stylish, practical, and well-equipped family SUV with a choice of efficient hybrid powertrains, a strong warranty, and an upmarket feel without a premium price tag.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising an especially engaging or dynamic driving experience, those needing class-leading electric-only range from a plug-in hybrid, or those sensitive to a slightly unsettled ride on larger wheels.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Tucson if: You're looking for a stylish, practical, and well-equipped family SUV with a choice of efficient hybrid powertrains, a strong warranty, and an upmarket feel without a premium price tag.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise an especially engaging or dynamic driving experience, need class-leading electric-only range from a plug-in hybrid, or are sensitive to a slightly unsettled ride on larger wheels.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai Tucson (2021-present) is a deeply impressive and competitive family SUV. It offers distinctive styling, a high-quality interior, and generous practicality, including one of the largest boots in its class. While it may not offer the most thrilling driving dynamics or class-leading PHEV range, its wide range of hybrid powertrains, extensive standard equipment, and strong warranty make it a compelling choice for buyers seeking a well-rounded and good-value vehicle that punches above its weight against both mainstream and some premium rivals.
