PROS Stylish details, handsome design Comfortable ride quality Impressive reliability record Overview The Hyundai Tucson is an important car in the Korean firm's range in fact it's one of the most popular, competing in a very crowded area of the car market. It's a mid-size SUV sitting between the quirkily-styled Kona and the seven-seat Santa Fe with a mature look and feel, a wide variety of trim levels and engines and a spacious interior. However, it needs to impress to steal attention away from the competition in one of the fastest-growing car market sectors. Rivals include the Volkswagen Tiguan, Mazda CX-5, Peugeot 3008, Kia Sportage, Citroen C5 Aircross and Nissan Qashqai, so it doesn't have it all sewn up. Even high-spec models tread on the toes of premium rivals like the Volvo XC40 and BMW X1.
