Satisfied owner. I am still very satisfied with my purchase.
The only issue is I have had with the vehicle so far is having the radio freeze, and a front in alignment. My vehicle is comfortable and reliable. I live in Texas and conditioner cool the car down fast. The Bluetooth capabilities allows safer driving, our use this vehicle most for out of town driving.

Low gas mileage. Aerodynamics. Nice get up and go.
The Tucson is a durable, low maintenance and reliable car. It has been very easy to maintain and not as much knowledge about cars the Tucson is easy for me to manage. By keeping up with oil changes, fluids flushed and tuning it when necessary it has been very affordable.

A reliable, affordable vehicle which has minimal problems with proper care.
It is very durable and reliable. Great family vehicle and has no problems with proper care. Last many years without any issues. Also easy to drive. A smooth driving experience with brakes that have to be replaced not very often. Overall a great, reliable, affordable vehicle for beginners and experienced drivers

Versatile, family friendly, Hyundai Tucson!
I love my Hyundai Tucson! So much that I have purchased 3 over the last few years. My first Tyson was a 2013 that I had for a little over a year and decided to upgrade from a base model to a new 2014 Tucson limited. Best car decision I have made! I love the way it drives, the high end safety features, especially in the back seat when it comes to car seats for children, keyless entry which was a must for me, Bluetooth connection which was also a must, along with all the added features Hyundai has to offer like emergency roadside, on-star, Hyundai blue link, and more! This vehicle is great for a small family or just a single person or even couple. If you buy a Hyundai Tucson you will not be disappointed!

Need a family vehicle that is not a mom van? Hyundai Tucson is what you need.
This has been a really low maintenance vehicle. I change the oil regularly and rotate the tires as needed. I did have to replace the two back tires about 3 months ago, but I bought this vehicle in 2015. The seat warmers heat up fast, as does the heater. We take this vehicle on all our road trips. From Texas we've even driven it all the way to pa. Gas is almost nothing to fill up, at around $30 for a full tank.

Loved it but bad vehicle!
Well currently it is in the shop because after 3 months of owning it and the engine gave out because the timing on the vehicle was off which caused damage to the valves and pistons. So basically I need a whole engine repair in order to get it running again.

Got to love this car, all of it!
I love almost everything about my car, it has an economic mode and gas consumption is reasonable. If I had to complain about one thing, it would be that the window is up a little high for me, but that could have to do with my height also. However, for short people, that would be a concern. Warranty cannot be beat either with this make of car, though. It is phenomenal!

Hyundai Tucson 2014 Review
Just super small overall, backup camera is small as well it's and older model so just missing a lot of the new upgrades such as extra charger spots, sunroof, seat settings etc but the positives are the gas mileage , it's very quiet and smooth. It runs great I've never had any maintenance issues on it. Good car for and older person who doesn't have a lot of people in and out but needs more space than a car. Definitely wouldn't recommend if you have more than one child - doesn't have the room especially for traveling.

TUCSON - 2014 Burning Oil
I have an issue with my 2014 Tucson bought in CANADA at Kingscross Hyundai. I noticed an engine knocking noise and slight lurching of a car after a cold start. I am not a car savvy so I wasn’t sure of the problem at first. This knocking sound came when the car had 85,000KM. The knocking would start 4000KM after an oil change. Went to Agincourt Hyundai for an oil change and once its done the knocking sound went away as well. I go to Agincourt Hyundai for oil changes every 5000K-6000KM started since 2017. Before that, I was going to Kingscross Hyundai. Once the knocking sound was really bad when I drove almost 2000KM from the oil change (at that time my total KM of the car was approximately 118000KM+ not sure the exact number) then I took the oil dip stick and found out that there is no oil in the engine. The knocking got worse, and the oil kept disappearing. At approx. 120,000KM I notice it the dip stick was dry AGAIN. Then I called Hyundai Canada to inform there is an issue with the Engine neede to be fixed ASAP before the engine gets seized. They said you are out of warranty. They only looking for a warranty not care about defective or safety. In future I will be not going for any Hyundai products. I was searching the internet for my issue, it seems like this might be a known issue. Https://www.carcomplaints.com/Hyundai/Tucson/2014/engine/engine.shtml

100,000 drive trans coverage?????????
No the 10 year 100000 mile drive trans coverage is such a lie,if timeing belt brakes you are going to pay for that ,the warentee does not cover the 2nd owener of the with just 50,000miles,it does not cover much. You will see when you have engine or tranny problems.
accountCircle Jody B
Not all it's cracked up to be!
I don't like driving an SUV. I don't like that the cargo is "loose" in the back, there's no graceful way to get in or out of it and because it's more of a sitting position, if I'm stuck in traffic my knee hurts. I can't adjust the seat into a comfortable position for my knee.
accountCircle Kathy J
Great car! Would definitely buy again.
It is a great car, drives well, very roomy. Have had no problems with it and would highly recommend this car to others. It handles well in bad weather and is easy to maintain. The standard features on this vehicle are great as well. Would highly recommend.
accountCircle Shirley R
Dual usb ports. Bluetooth.
It is small as far as space goes in the back seat. I like the exterior appearance at night. The lights are unique. The gas mileage is also good.
accountCircle Jared B
It is used quite frequently. Over 25k miles a year.
The car is dependable. It has built in navigation and leather seats. I wish it was bigger than it is. Has barely any power to it.

A reliable car worth the money.
Very reliable! I have put almost 85k miles on to this car and I have had no issues with it. Two or three pretty important recalls during that time. I wish it would have more upgraded features such as keyless entry. This seems pretty standard for a 2014. Overall a great first car choice and an easy drive.
accountCircle Ray B on June 22, 2021
Extremely reliable and cost saving.
I haven't had any issues with the Tucson. It's been a really reliable vehicle. Outside of general maintenance, I've yet to have any major expenses in repairs. I've taken it across the country several times and it's been nothing short of amazing. Hyundai is definitely a brand id recommend.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Karmine B.

This car has many pros. The 2014 Hyundai Tucson gets decent gas mileage, smooth ride, attractive looking SUV, all wheel drive, comfy seats, heated seats work quickly, back up camera, touch screen, Bluetooth. It is 6 years old but fits in with all the newer cars.

likeFilled Tiffany C.

Has a backup and security system, which is a good pro. The backup system is very clear. It also has a awesome security system installed as well as a tracker on the car, so I'll always know where my car is located anytime anyday.

likeFilled Tori T.

It is good in gas. It is roomy. Runs smooth. Good colors. Lights are good. Good speakers. Love this car! It is great! Nice sized tires! Bluetooth. Nice radio! Good trunk space. Accelerates good. Great in gas.

likeFilled Troy V.

It is a nice size for a single person or up to five people. It moves pretty quickly and looks good. The interior of the car is nice looking and the dash is easy to use/read. The seats are very comfortable and I have done long car rides in the car and have been fine with the seats.

likeFilled Josh C.

Have had the car for 5+ years and haven't had anything break on it yet. I also really like the turn radius on the car. It can flip around in a tight circle for its size. USB port that connects right to the radio is a nice perk.

likeFilled Laura F.

Easy to drive. Good mileage. Safe vehicle. There is plenty of room for a small family. Bluetooth. It is very comfortable. Good to take on trips. Plenty of room for luggage and my pets. My family enjoys it.

likeFilled Lindsay W.

Back up camera, heated seats, spacious. Drives nicely and has touch screen radio display with easy to connect Bluetooth audio. I can also use GPS in my car on the radio display to avoid looking at my phone GPS.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Karmine B.

The 2014 Hyundai Tucson that I own has a few downsides. The backup camera, touch screen, and controls are all nice but not as updated as the newer models. I have had a problem with the four wheel drive also (fixed by the mechanic) and a bit of an oil problem as well (also fixed by a mechanic).

dislikeFilled Tiffany C.

Cons of my vehicle is, my backup system does not let you know when you are too close to anything at all and my tracker system is unrecoverable on the car, plus there is only one USB outlet in the car and it is only in the front.

dislikeFilled Tori T.

I wish it had back air vents and that the tint was darker. It is black so it does not stay clean for longs. Gets hotter faster because it is black. The windshield easily cracks. Wish I had leather seats.

dislikeFilled Troy V.

It is not an Audi, Mercedes, or anything like that. I would like it to go faster. The look is a little boxy and it is a Hyundai. It has gone into the shop more times than it should have which is not something that is worth.

dislikeFilled Josh C.

The air conditioner stops blowing cold air if the vehicle is not in motion. The biggest issue is with the engine however. If it is a hot day or you are stuck in a traffic jam the engine overheats with regularity and you have to crank the heat to try to pull hot air out of the hood.

dislikeFilled Laura F.

I really cannot think of the cons on this vehicle. There can be a blind spot for the driver looking to the left when pulling out. Ride is pretty smooth but could be smoother on gravel. The seats could be a better material for the sake of lasting and cleaning.

dislikeFilled Lindsay W.

Has had recalls on certain parts. Has also been in the shop for issues with the throttle twice in 3 months after having it for less than a year under 100,000 miles. Ac also has issues with only working on one setting.

I keep up the maintenance so it is very reliable. The biggest issue I have had is the tire pressure sensor, it never works right so I have to check my tire pressure often.

Is The 2014 Hyundai Tucson A Good Value?

I find it to be a good value, it is around $20,000 which is fair for the type of vehicle it is. Best money ever spent.

It didn't cost a whole lot but I think it cost us more than it should have because when we bought it the windshield was cracked.

Mine ran me a little over $16,000 Yes this is the best investment I have ever made when it comes to vehicles. It I ever have to upgrade, I will buy another one.
Kristen M.
New it was around $35,000. Now , I'm not sure what the resale would be. I do know however it is a good value

The cost is to much that would be my downfall of getting another one. The cost is twice what it should be.
Kaitlyn S.
Mine was about $26000. Probably my last car. High end electronics. Air bags are good. Lots of them. Air conditioning is cold.
