At the end of its second generation, the 2021 Hyundai Tucson is a great value that can go toe to toe with the heavy hitters in its class. While the Honda CR-V, Ford Escape, and Toyota RAV4 are long-standing champions with vocal followings, and the Mazda CX-5 and Kia Sportage are well-equipped solid contenders, the Tucson brings a complete package that buyers adore. With two competent engine choices, a comprehensive driver assistance suite, and available all-wheel drive (AWD), the Tucson comes in a range of accessible price points and retains excellent resale value.

KBB Review Highlights

The 2021 Hyundai Tucson shines in a full class with the Toyota RAV4, Kia Sportage, Mazda CX-50, and Subaru Forester. The Tucson, like its fellow Hyundai SUV siblings, arrives with an abundant array of trims, clean design, generous fuel economy, and commendable safety ratings. The Tucson was Hyundai’s top-selling vehicle in the U.S. in 2021, moving over 150,000 SUVs. Available in six trims and two engine options from the SE to the Ultimate, the Tucson delivers a consistently comfortable ride with a varying degree of pep. The SUV bears witness to Hyundai’s design development and increasing steps toward democratizing innovation.

A clean dashboard dressed with a 7-inch touchscreen, smooth textures, and easy-to-access controls makes for a simple drive that is easy to learn and equally easy to love. Expect rear legroom toward the top of the class but not group-leading. The Tucson features total vehicle comfort and driver accessibility, particularly in the upper-tier Limited and Ultimate trims.

All of the engines for the 2021 Tucson use a 6-speed automatic transmission and standard front-wheel drive (FWD). AWD is an option on every trim level. SE and Value trims come with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder, and SEL and above trim levels have a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine, both engines using gasoline direct injection (GDI). The base SE trim brings smartphone integration and a manually adjustable driver’s seat. Rise through the tiers, and buyers receive power-adjustable seats, a heated steering wheel, keyless entry, and LED headlights. Elevate to the highest trims, leather seats, a larger touchscreen, wireless device charging, adaptive cruise control, and a panoramic sunroof join the party.

Prepping buyers for the next generation, the 2021 Hyundai Tucson delivers a safe, reliable vehicle with a knockout warranty package.
