Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Following up on last year's full redesign, the 2017 Hyundai Tucson receives a few updates to technology and interior quality. Most notably, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration debuts on the Tucson's top trim levels.

Pros
Turbocharged engine delivers peppy acceleration and good fuel economy
Plenty of advanced safety and infotainment features are available
Comfortable ride on rough roads
Top safety scores.

Cons
Slow acceleration from the base trim's engine
Clumsy low-speed shifting from the turbo engine's transmission
Certain desirable items are offered only on the Limited
Less total cargo space than top rivals.

The 2017 Hyundai Tucson doesn't live on the cutting edge, but it's an attractive, economical crossover SUV that's worth a spot on your shopping list.
The Hyundai Tucson was recently redesigned for the third time in the compact crossover's history last year, and for 2017 it largely stands pat aside from adding some technology updates inside that are, at least for now, relegated only to the higher-dollar trim levels.

Pros
Classy looks inside and out
Quiet cabin and refined ride quality
Innovative automatic liftgate at upper trim levels

Cons
SE and Eco interiors feel low-buck
Cargo space still a little tight
Navigation, emergency braking are costly options
