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 in quality and ambition from its predecessor. With distinctive styling, a spacious interior offering 620-litres of boot space, and a curved infotainment setup featuring dual 12.3-inch screens (on post-facelift models), the Tucson delivers premium appeal at a competitive price. It competes not only with the Ford Kuga and Skoda Karoq but also sets its sights higher, rivalling the Audi Q3 and BMW X1 in terms of specification and feel.

The Tucson offers a choice of powertrains, including a 1.6-litre turbo petrol with 148bhp or 178bhp mild-hybrid options, a 227bhp self-charging hybrid, and a 261bhp plug-in hybrid with around 40 miles of electric-only range. Whilst not the most engaging to drive, the Tucson is an easygoing companion with smooth, quiet performance and generous space for passengers and luggage. Running costs are reasonable, with mild-hybrid models achieving 43.5mpg and the plug-in hybrid delivering over 50mpg on longer journeys. The five-year warranty and comprehensive standard equipment across trim levels make it excellent value for money.

Best for: Families seeking a spacious, well-equipped SUV with modern technology, those wanting hybrid options for better efficiency, and buyers prioritising comfort and practicality over driving excitement.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking an engaging, fun-to-drive experience, those sensitive to ride quality on larger wheels, or buyers needing the longest plug-in hybrid electric range available in the class.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Tucson if: You're seeking a spacious, well-equipped SUV with modern technology, wanting hybrid options for better efficiency, or prioritising comfort and practicality over driving excitement.

Consider alternatives if: You desire an engaging, fun-to-drive experience, are sensitive to ride quality on larger wheels, or need the longest plug-in hybrid electric range available in the class.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai Tucson (2021-present) is a strong contender in the midsize family SUV market, offering excellent value, comprehensive standard equipment, and a choice of efficient hybrid powertrains. Whilst the Volkswagen Tiguan edges ahead slightly in overall rating and the Kia Sportage matches it on expert rating, the Tucson delivers impressive quality and practicality at a competitive price point. Its distinctive design, spacious interior, and five-year warranty make it an excellent choice for families prioritising comfort and technology. However, those seeking the most engaging driving experience may prefer alternatives, and buyers requiring maximum plug-in hybrid range should explore other options.
