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 combines striking design with practical everyday usability. This fourth-generation model represents a significant step up from its predecessor, offering upmarket styling and build quality that rivals premium brands like Audi Q3 and BMW X1. The distinctive exterior features segmented lights and sharp creases, whilst the interior boasts a curved infotainment setup with dual 12.3-inch screens (post-facelift models). With 620-litres of boot space and generous legroom for passengers, the Tucson delivers excellent practicality for families.

Power comes from a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine available in multiple configurations: non-hybrid, mild hybrid (148bhp or 178bhp), self-charging hybrid (227bhp), and plug-in hybrid (261bhp) variants. The Tucson is an easygoing companion on the road, offering smooth and quiet performance with impressive efficiency across the range. Mild-hybrid models achieve around 43.5mpg, whilst the plug-in hybrid delivers over 200mpg claimed figures with approximately 40 miles of electric-only range. Standard equipment is generous across all trim levels, including leather-wrapped steering wheel, DAB, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, satnav, and dual-zone climate control.

Best for: Families seeking a practical, well-equipped midsize SUV with modern technology, those wanting hybrid efficiency options, and buyers prioritising comfort and standard kit over driving excitement.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking engaging handling or dynamic driving characteristics, those wanting the most advanced plug-in hybrid range in the class, or buyers on a tight budget seeking entry-level pricing.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Tucson if: You're seeking a practical, well-equipped midsize SUV with modern technology, wanting hybrid efficiency options, or prioritising comfort and standard kit over driving excitement.

Consider alternatives if: You desire engaging handling, require the most advanced plug-in hybrid range in the class, or are shopping on a tight budget.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai Tucson (2021-present) is a strong contender in the midsize family SUV market, offering excellent value and generous standard equipment. Whilst the Kia Sportage and Volkswagen Tiguan edge ahead with slightly higher expert ratings, the Tucson matches them on user satisfaction and value. It offers a compelling alternative to premium brands at a more accessible price point, with a comprehensive warranty and diverse powertrain options. The Tucson's distinctive design, practical interior, and comprehensive technology make it an excellent all-round family SUV, though those seeking the sharpest handling should consider the Tiguan or Sportage.
