JOSH SADLIER: This is automotive editor Josh Sadlier with an Edmunds Expert rundown. Of the 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The Tucson is a small crossover from Hyundai. And like a lot of other Hyundais these days, it looks great. Looks more expensive than it is, you might say. We love the turbocharge engine. Love might be too strong a word. We like the turbo engine. Delivers decent acceleration and pretty good fuel economy too. What we don't like is the base 2-liter, four-cylinder, no turbo, no power. Definitely one to avoid. One thing to keep in mind with the Tucson is that certain desirable features are only available on the top Limited trim level. So if you're looking for something in the middle of the range, might find a few things to be absent. But overall, you get a decent amount of features for your money. And just look at it. It's beautiful. Inside, the Tucson's just average, we'd say, for this class. The cargo space is a notch down from segment leaders. And as you can see, that back seat's a little tight. If you're looking for a crossover with back seat space for taller people, the Tucson might not be your first pick. Up front, the design's a little more conservative on the dashboard than you might expect, given the exterior. But you have all the expected features, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on higher trims for 2017. The Tucson sits mid-pack in its class. If you're just looking for design, it might be number one. But the bottom line is that there's a lot of appealing alternatives in this segment, starting with the redesigned Honda CR-V and extending to our personal favorite, the Mazda CX-5.

Hyundai likes to name its crossovers after cities in the American Southwest. So here's the 2017 Hyundai Tucson, which is little brother to the slightly larger Santa Fe Sport and the larger still Santa Fe. It's a mainstream player in the increasingly mainstream compact crossover SUV market segment.
For those unsure of exactly what a crossover is, the Tucson is a perfect example of the species. It's a vehicle that looks like an SUV in form, but is built more like a car. That means a unified body structure instead of a separate frame, a transverse-mounted engine powering only the front wheels with all-wheel drive as an option and a supple and nimble independent suspension. What carries over from truck-based SUVs is that crossovers are larger and more flexible in their use of space. In sum, a crossover is an SUV that's as comfortable as a car. And crossovers are the most popular transportation of choice as the 21st century marches on.
Hyundai redesigned the Tucson last year so there's not much that's new about the vehicle for 2017. That noted, the 2016 redesign saw the Tucson grow in size and in the attractiveness of its tailoring. And like so many other vehicles, it's now available loaded to the gills with technology, including an advanced crash-avoidance system, to keep the driver from doing anything stupid. So it's no wonder the Tucson gets the very highest safety ratings from the United States government and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Almost unique in this crossover size class, the Tucson is available with two distinct four-cylinder engines. Both use Hyundai's Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) system, but the SE model's standard 2.0-liter engine is naturally aspirated and rated at 164 horsepower. The ritzier Eco, Sport and Limited models are all powered by a still fresh 1.6-liter engine that, thanks to turbocharging, is rated at 175 hp. The SE comes with a conventional six-speed automatic transmission while the other three models use an advanced dual-clutch seven-speed automatic.
It's no surprise the best fuel economy is available in the front-drive Eco model with the turbo engine. That one rates out at 28 mpg combined (26 city/32 highway). The worst mileage is in the SE with all-wheel drive and the 2.0-liter engine. That one comes in at 23 mpg combined (21 city/26 highway).
The small crossover segment seems to get a new entrant every month. To sort them all out and find the best one for you, use every tool here at Edmunds. And then let us help you find the best 2017 Hyundai Tucson from a great dealer.

Vehicle Limited 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
Review I test drove the Rav4, CX-5, Escape, and Santa Fe before deciding finally on the Tucson. My previous vehicle was a VW GTI, so it was important to me to get something that still looked and felt sporty while driving it and this Tucson qualifies for all of that. While I felt the CX-5 handled slightly better around curves, the Tucson gave a smooth and quiet ride. The acceleration is there when I need it, without the bumps of a sporty suspension. Unfortunately, in Hyundai, in order to get a sunroof one must purchase the highest model (Limited-Ultimate) that also comes with navigation and leather seats (with rear passenger heated seats)! Also, the cargo cover and all weather mats do not come standard and can carry a hefty price tag. For me, the bonuses that came with the panoramic sunroof were worth the extra price! I will say I have noticed that this 7-speed transmission can take some getting used to. Much like my GTI DSG transmission, even though it's an automatic, it FEELS like a manual at times. On inclines, and some coasting to acceleration scenarios the transmission has lagged to shift into the correct gear. I'm currently researching this to see if there is something wrong or just something to get used to. Update: There were some software updates Hyundai provided regarding the transmission and that did improve things dramatically. While I feel like the acceleration is better than most of the SUV/Crossovers I test drove, it still doesn't "GO!" like I was used to with my GTI, which is just an unrealistic expectation for this type of vehicle & price point. For example, If I don't continue accelerating through a 4 leaf clover on-ramp to get on the interstate (and coast through the curve instead), it takes a long time to get up to speed, even if the "pedal is to the metal." I think I only notice this because I came from the GTI which was VERY responsive. Now that the weather is cooler, my rear seat passengers love their rear seat heaters, and everyone seems to have plenty of leg room. I love the extra space I get when I fold the seats down, too.
