This was a great looking SUV! Too bad Huyndai could not keep it up with its 2021 replacement, which looks like a cross between a stormtrooper's helmet and an upside-down Christmas tree.
Abs top of the range as all your tests are. When I tested one in 2016 a 1.6 petrol it reminded me of the first good Nissans like 120y bluebird. Dissimilar vehicles but mechanically felt alike. Drove the tucson back to back with qashqai - tucson any day
I'm surprised with the comments from what I've read seems all positive. I'm a father of 3, and we haven't been on a family holiday since 2013, so not to bore with the story, I've decided to plan a road trip from Dorset to the south of Portugal so the drive would be going across France into Spain then the north of Portugal drive down to the south as I have family living out there, there will be over nights stay for sightseeing. I'm a proud owner of a Honda Civic 8th gen for 6 years going strong hitting 200k miles now. I'm looking to get a family car with space for luggage and especially room for the kids.... Don't know. Much about Hyundai or Kia but so far for the budget these two are coming out on top and within. Budget. Could anyone tell me if this Tucson would be highly recommended for long journeys and has anyone been on a European trip in one? Many thanks
One thing to point out, I'm not fused with the heated seats and oddly steering wheel, but the panoramic sunroof I like very much, but the models I'm looking at sadly don't come with these cars seem good, this one the tucson is a nice looking car with the space I'm looking for especially for the running costs tickets the boxes. But for the same price the Kia Sportage 3 2015 have the sunroof. Feeling a little stuck in the suv world.
The Tucson is certainly not an ugly car, but I very much doubt that a car of this size, with a petrol or diesel engine, will be an obvious problem to those living in Greater London!!

Supposing you have a garage linked to your home? What would the light your way home headlights do? Light up the end of the garage?
I would only look at a Tucson if they ever bring out an electric version, and I don’t mean a plug in hybrid!!
