Hyundai Tucson 2015–2018 car dimensions: 4475 mm long, 1850 mm wide and 1645 mm high. Braked towing is 1,600 kg.
Cabin offers a clear layout with standard cruise control and a colour touchscreen audio system from 5 inches up. Dual-zone automatic climate control appears on mid and higher grades. Reversing camera is fitted across the range. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay arrive on higher trims from 2017 and expand later. Automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning and lane-keep assist stay limited to upper grades or option packs.
Boot holds 513 litres with seats up under the VDA measure. Fold the 60/40 rear seats and capacity rises to 1503 litres. A two-level floor and wide opening make loading straightforward for family gear.
Braked towing reaches 1600 kg on common petrol and diesel versions, with unbraked limited to 750 kg. Some higher-output diesels list up to 1900 or 2200 kg.
The cabin feels spacious and refined with soft-touch materials, dual-zone automatic climate control on higher grades, and two-stage reclining 60/40 rear seats. Available ventilated and heated front seats plus heated rear seats keep occupants comfortable in varying weather. An optional panoramic sunroof opens up the interior for a brighter, more open feel during long drives.
Fuel economy reaches 23 city/29 highway/25 combined mpg on 2.0L FWD models.
Service intervals typically call for oil and filter changes every 7,500 miles or 12 months under normal conditions.
NHTSA overall rating of 4 stars. IIHS Good in moderate overlap, side, rear and roof strength. Poor in small overlap front.
Standard safety includes 6 airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, ABS with EBD, hill-start assist, downhill brake control and tire pressure monitoring.
Fuel use stays efficient across the range thanks to gasoline direct injection engines. The 2.0-liter returns up to 29 mpg highway in front-drive form while the 2.4-liter and later 1.6-liter turbo options balance power with similar real-world economy. Active ECO mode further helps stretch each tank.
Servicing stays straightforward with oil changes due every 7,500 miles or annually in most markets. Cabin and engine air filters, brake fluid and other fluids follow the same regular schedule. Higher-mileage items such as spark plugs arrive later, keeping routine costs predictable.
Safety equipment starts strong with six airbags, stability and traction control, anti-lock brakes, hill-start and downhill controls plus a tire-pressure monitor on every model. Higher grades add blind-spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning and automatic emergency braking. Crash tests give solid scores in most categories though the small-overlap result is weaker.
Living with the Tucson means easy access via the available smart liftgate, versatile cargo space that expands when the rear seats fold, and durable materials that hold up to daily family use. Regular maintenance keeps the powertrain and chassis reliable for high mileages.
