For 2021 Manual transmission discontinued.Other minor changes to standard and optional feature availability.
Pros Impressive number of features for your money For its size, easy to get in and out of Simple control layout
Cons Engine sounds and feels a little coarse at higher speeds All-wheel drive isn't offered One of the smaller extra-small SUVs in the class
After only one year, Hyundai discontinues the standard manual transmission. All models now have a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The Venue also drops the standard steel wheels, with the base model now riding on a set of alloy rims. The Convenience package, which was previously optional on the SEL, now becomes standard on that trim level. It includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and a sliding armrest.
PROS Excellent value, surprising passenger space, many standard driver assists.
CONS Apathetic highway acceleration, busy highway behavior, missing some desirable options.

The 2018 Hyundai Tucson ranked #7 in Compact SUVs. Currently the Hyundai Tucson has a score of 8.4 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 27 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Pros Excellent crash test scores Longer warranty than most Comfortable and quiet
Cons Mediocre cabin materials in lower trim levels Base engine provides slow acceleration
We like the Value trim level. It lives up to its name by giving you a huge number of desirable features for an agreeable price. Its turbocharged engine also produces a pleasing amount of power. We also think that heated seats and the additional stain-resistant cloth make the absence of leather upholstery just fine.
PROS Lots of features for the money Top safety scores Optional turbocharged engine delivers peppy acceleration Comfortable ride on rough roads
CONS Some disappointing interior pieces Some advanced driver safety aids only available on top trim Less cargo space than top rivals Slow acceleration with base engine
