A small-medium SUV with a great paint job. Tires are 18". And it is a 4 cylinder.
The engine is acting up after many years. But the overall condition is still very great compared to how old it is. The only thing I ever had a consistent problem is with the brakes. I have gone to many people but it might've been just the people I chose because after the "right one" my car was able to stop a bit more quickly.

It is reliable. We've had very few problems with it and never anything major since we've owned it.
It's a nice looking vehicle. Always been reliable. It has aged well. Not really anything I dislike.
accountCircle Natalie G
Very good car, with just one minor issue.
It is a nice sized car; not too big and not too small. As a single person; it is wonderful because there is room for me and a couple friends. I have been in two minor accidents and I have suffered no injuries and the car itself is still in fantastic condition. The only thing is that it does ramp up to speed very fast; it takes some time for it to get up to speed.

NEEDS BETTER air conditioning to , accommodate pets, passengers and refrigerated groceries.
Compact for tight parking spaces. Sturdy and sturdy handling. Nice fold down second row seat for cargo space. BAD air conditioning because no air conditioning for second row passengers or pets riding in back seat and cargo area.

It's good quality. Mechanically sound. There are no drive issues.
It has never had any issues mechanically. The seats are comfortable. It is easy to drive. I wish it had more storage and leg room
accountCircle Shawn B
Comfortable and roomy SUV. Gas efficient too.
It is roomy four door SUV. It is good on gas. It is front wheel drive but very good in the snow. I bought it 3 years ago and had very little problems mechanically. It has good storage if you want to go on a trip or any sporting event. It has a CD player and radio. It is an automatic transmission.
accountCircle Susan L
Wonderful vehicle. Great for the money. Bought it new and have no complaints.
I don't have any problems. My Hyundai is very reliable. There is plenty of room for five people and there is enough room for shopping. I have a sunroof in my SUV and love it. I faithfully have the oil changed and maintenance done in a timely manner. In fact you can eat off my engine.

Big letdown
I just bought one with 67000 miles on it and it needed stable bars on the front, now it drives great but, I was told that the timing belt will need to be changed every 60.000 miles. I think that sucks that something with that kind of low millage would need such a costly and big job done to it! It still runs good and it now has 70,000 miles on it but I think its time to get rid of it while it is still running good. What a big let down.

If you buy it, be prepared to spend money fixing parts.
Like: it is a nice looking car. Dislike: the car has too many technical issues. I have spend a lot of money on repairs.
accountCircle Jim H
It's been reliable up to now and it is a nice looking car.
I like the fact that it's a SUV. It's a 2007 and it's starting to break on me. It needs repairs and I'm getting to the point of wanting a new car.
accountCircle Val E
I wouldn't buy another Hyundai.
I have a 2007 Tucson and my mother has a 2009 Tucson. Both are prone to the same sort of issues. They do not drive smoothly, they're quite expensive to maintain. The comfort and features are okay, but seeing as it is an older model there is not anything fancy about it.
accountCircle Wes S
Old Tucson, not attractive not even for tourists.
My car is very finicky and has had a list of various problems some temporary and some not so much. Cheaply made and everything goes out at the same time, this leads to massive repairs. The price of these repairs gets costly fast, so much so that one considers buying a new car.
accountCircle Danielle R
The seats fold down great and the back holds a lot of groceries.
I thought since it is a small vehicle, that it would be good on gas but it really is not. The doorknobs and window is reachable to my two year old in her car seat, so I have to keep it on child lock and window locked. The paint is peeling. Good things: small, easy to clean, seats fold down easily.
accountCircle Mar K
Poor gas mileage. 4-wheel drive is OK, but not used often.
The size is good, but gas mileage is poor. Dash console is not user-friendly (too many electronic buttons to get to the right settings).
accountCircle Erin M
Hyundai Tucson 07 - how’s it built?
The way the car is built makes it difficult to fix little things therefore the labor costs of a mechanic skyrocket. For example, I needed 3 little fuses fixed and the mechanic had to take out my entire engine to get to them. Parts cost under a dollar total, labor cost over $800.

As long as you take care of it, it will take care of you!
It has lasted me for almost 5 years and I bought it used. It now has over 200k miles on it and still going. Minor repairs here and there but overall great vehicle. It is a little small for my family but we make it work.

Compact, sleek SUV that is easy to drive, hard on gas
It's an SUV, so it's higher off the ground which I love, but it uses a lot more gas which isn't the bet thing in the world. I like how compact it is and easy to get in and out of parking spaces. I don't like that it takes a long time to accelerate and get going. There's plenty of room for things though, especially if I fold the seats down for anything big.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Desiree M.

First the pros- Great Gas Mileage and it has had an average maintenance needs. It is very roomy on the inside and is easy to clean. The blind spots are minimal because there is a lot of windows. The seating is very comfortable. The 4WD works extremely well and has gotten us through some very bad winter storms. The height of the car is great in the rain and snow as well. The cons are few but there are a couple. The first is the back windows do not go down all the way and the amount that it stays up is more than other cars I have had. The other is that the struts on the glass window in the back and the hatch back door itself have worn out very quickly.

likeFilled Jennifer S.

It has pretty good fuel mileage for an SUV. Good storage room and has been reliable. I have only needed to do maintenance to it. I bought the car brand new and put over 187,000 miles on her in the 13 years we've had her. I'd buy another Hyundai in a minute!

likeFilled Desiree M.

First the pros, it is great to drive in all kinds of weather, it has more than enough room for a family who takes their vacations by driving, it gets excellent gas mileage and the warranty is great. The cons, when the brakes get worn the caliber usually has to be replaced as well so it can be costly and the only other con would be the automatic door locks get worn and do not work with the remote opener after a few years.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Desiree M.

The struts on the rear window that opens to get in the back and the back hatch door struts both wore out quickly. This has caused both of the to close without warning or to not stay up when you are trying to put packages or other items in the back. Also, the back windows do not go down far enough. I have had other cars that the back windows did not go down all the way either but they went down farther then these do.

dislikeFilled Jennifer S.

It's not a luxury car. Some road noise. Had a small problem with the rear hatch light. It was left on one night and melted the cover. Also, the hydraulics in the rear window arms is gone. And having a hard time replacing the rear wiper blade.

dislikeFilled Desiree M.

The door locks get worn in a few years and do not work with the remote key fob and the brakes cost a lot to replace because the caliber usually has to be replaced with the pads so each time you are replacing the breaks you have to and the cost of replacing the calipers as well.

Is The 2007 Hyundai Tucson A Good Value?

I feel like I paid more for it than I should have. I am sure that is because I purchased it at a dealership instead of through a 3rd party though.

When I purchased mine it was overpriced. At this time in jelly blue book it will sell for anywhere between $3700-4500 depending on the condition
porter W.
My parents bought the Hyundai Tucson for about 6,000 and I do think it is a good car especially because it was in such good condition.
