2018 Hyundai Tucson review: Our expert's take


What it is: The Tucson is Hyundai’s compact SUV with seating for five and a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. Competitors include the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue and Toyota RAV4.


Last year’s base SE with the Popular Equipment Package is now the SEL trim, and the SE Plus is now the SEL Plus. The SEL gets a standard 7-inch touchscreen audio system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone connectivity.

Love my Tucson

We purchased it our Tucson new in 2018 other than routine maintenance we haven’t had to spend any money for repair concerning the running of the vehicle. It’s stylish on the outside and the interior looks great, it’s quiet when running and has a awesome sound system

Bad Engines

Engine failure at 73000 miles. Vehicle has been maintained flawlessly since new. Due to parts shortages engine replacement took 6 weeks. Vehicle also experienced severe oil consumption problems as well as stalling and engine noises before engine replacement. Hyundai is having a lot of problems with their engines and as a result of these issues resale values have also been affected.
