Very comfortable car to drive, easy to get in and out of, feels safer sitting higher up, nice design. Feels good now but we'll see how it is in the winter.

It’s our second Tucson — a diesel manual and a petrol automatic. I can only confirm that our next one in 2027 will be 99.9% a Tucson again. Gorgeous, pleasant, economical and sporty. Top choice.
