Excellent the headlights are automatic.
It's a good traveling car. Good on gas with gadgets. All four wheel drive with some power to the car. The performance is great. Takes curves very well. Plus it is a push start. That's my opinion on my SUV and can't wait to buy the 2020 Tucson. The seats are heated and have a sunroof.

Why I love my Hyundai Tucson!
The interior looks sleek and clean. I love the controls being right there on the steering wheel for the phone, music, volume and cruise control. The car itself drives great, you do not feel every little bump in the road. The headlights offer a great view when on, they're bright and give a broad view. The space is great in the car, I am able to fit three car seats across the backseat with all three kids being comfortable. It is gas efficient and very reliable. I have not had any mechanical issues with this vehicle and it has been 4 years since I had bought it. I love Hyundai's!

Comfort and style of a luxury SUV without the price tag.
I love the way the style of the car; it is the last year of this body style. I have never had any major issues other than ac and window switches. Gets decent gas mileage for an SUV. Very comfortable and spacious. It looks and feels like a more expensive luxury SUV but with less of a price tag.

Great for off road and great space for everything I need.
No problems but it has eco button on it and makes my gas mileage works better and I can go longer without using so much. The best car I have ever gotten. Also great space for anything I can put in there especially my mini bike I even go off road from time to time.

Best smooth rider ever. Great family car and lots of space.
The only problem I had was after I purchased did I had a knock in the rear. They tried to fix it several times and ended out calling and a specialist from the plant. They finally got it fixed and I haven't had a problem since. I do love the way it drives it is a smooth driver and it is really good on gas. It is excellent for a back roads and highways. I do a lot of hiking so I need it for both. There's a lot of room minute for families and for all that extra stuff you buy.

It is a beautiful Tucson that is spacious and is great on gas.
I love my car, it fits well for my family. It is automatic, four wheel drive. Camera to see when you reverse, powered windows. Heating seats. Driver seat has multiple ways you can adjust your seat to your needs. All leather interior which is easy to clean especially with kids. Lots of rear space for shopping.

Hyundai Tucson reliable vehicle.
Nice small SUV comfortable ride lots of room for being a midsize SUV. Hyundai is a very reliable car this is my second SUV from Hyundai my first was a sante fe which lasted for 10 years very reliable vehicles and the warranty on these vehicles are great.

It wouldn't of been nice to see more color options for the Tucson.
The car handles excellently, is decent on gas, has plenty of room and is a quiet drive. Some concerns are limited trunk space and it is definitely not meant for off roading. But all in all this vehicle is great and will get you to where you need to go, and will do so in a cool design and easy to look at vehicle. It outperforms other cars that sell for thousands more!

2015 limited Tucson review.
The value depreciated quickly causing it difficult to purchase a new vehicle. The vehicle overall is a great car for overall use. I use it daily for work and for road trips. The vehicle has plenty of room and interior built well. Leather interior is thick and has worn well.
accountCircle Steven P
Your engine. If you have engine issues you'll have a longtime issue.
It is decent on gas. It is just to crammed for me and has some odd sounds coming from the car a times.
accountCircle Madison B
Problems but overall reliable.
The performance of my car is not great and has issues frequently. It might be because it is an old model but it could be because of the model itself. The features are mostly fine and my car is overall very reliable. My car is also relatively comfortable.

Hyundai brakes are not good. Have a mechanic check out car before purchasing it.
I bought the car used. It only had 17000 miles on it. I have had to have the back brakes replaced. And a few weeks ago the front brakes and Calipers. The car has 24000 miles on it both front and back brakes should have lasted longer. I contacted Hyundai they couldn't help me because I did not take it to a Hyundai dealership. I feel like I got a lemon.

My 2015 Tucson is a good driving car perfect for a retired person like myself.
My tucson is reliable and a comfortable driving car. It has a limited hauling space but by design. Gas mileage pretty good. It has good pickup for a 4 cylinder. The back seat is a little short on leg room but a good space for children. It does not have temperature gage which I really depend on. The seat belts may have been replaced but front seat belts fall out when use is finished.
accountCircle Deb A
I love the fact that it has Bluetooth. It does run very well for the miles.
I like my car but I wish I had shopped around for a bigger selection. The car has been good to me not many problems except it keeps blowing headlights. I have over 100,000 miles on it and have just put general maintenance over the last few years. Right now I have a wheel bearing to that needs to be replaced.
accountCircle Brittany B
Adequate vehicle: has a great look (Interior/exterior), but not outstanding.
My Hyundai Tucson is a moderate vehicle. I love the look both internally and externally, however, I have had significant issues. These issues may relate to the past owner but they include: water leaking in from the outside through the hood, washer fluid leaks out of the front but not to the back, the windshield wiper switch is backwards to other cars I have had. It does have a very spacious interior and I really like the dash features, organization and colors.

Wonderful small sized SUV.
The performance of this car has been wonderful and very reliable. It is a smaller sized SUV which is perfect for me for running errands. The back seats fold down which provide a spacious trunk for carrying larger loads. There have only been two problems I have ever had with this car. One, a cap that sits under the gear shift became rotted (I am not sure how) which made the gear shift sticky. The problem was easily and inexpensively fixed. The second issue I have had is with the GPS or navigation not updating. The navigation system is not intuitive and needs to be updated at the dealership. I find myself using my phone more often than the navi. Other than that, I have zero complaints about the car. Runs wonderful when taken care of with regular maintenance.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Shamekia C.

It's more spacious than my previous car there is a rack on top and a hitch on the back that came with the car. The Rear view camera is nice too. I also like the features in the car. The radio holds a lot of stations satellite radio is available for this vehicle.

likeFilled Amanda D.

I like the size of my SUV. It is perfect for a single person or small family of four. It has decent room in the back and trunk area. The back seats can be let down for additional space. I love the features on the driver side. It has adjustments for your back and height.

likeFilled Kasey D.

It is the perfect size. It is big enough to drive through the snow and has plenty of storage and space, without being too large. The gas mileage is really good, about 23 miles per gallon. I really like the color, I have black which I think is the best color for this car. It drives very smooth and is very easy to drive. The leather material of the seats make it very easy to clean especially because my dog likes to go on car rides and she sheds a lot.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Shamekia C.

With all those nice things in the car there is no push start which would be nice for a 2005 I also wish there were more connections for charging devices for passengers. There is only really ports for the driver I also wish that there was a button that you can push to close the trunk. And I still haven't found the button to open the trunk from the inside of the car.

dislikeFilled Amanda D.

I wish it had the same features on the passenger side. Other than that, I am quite satisfied with it. I got it in black which is always a good color. Midsize SUV. If other colors were available, I may have chosen a different one.

dislikeFilled Kasey D.

It is very bad with accelerating. Going up hills or accelerating after a turn are definitely a struggle. I do have to fill up the tires a lot but I don't really have to bring it in for maintenance a lot.
