Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Subaru has made adaptive LED headlamps and automatic high beams standard across the Forester lineup for 2021 while the Limited model now comes with a seven-speed manual mode for the continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). A new rear center-console storage tray has been added to all but the base model.

Pros
Thoroughly practical,
roomy interior,
comfortable cruiser.

Cons
Slow acceleration times,
boring exterior styling,
base model is quite basic.

Automatic high beams and turn-swiveling headlights are now standard.Other minor revisions to standard feature availability.

Pros
Standard all-wheel drive
A full complement of driver assist features are standard
Enhanced off-road capability thanks to better-than-average ground clearance
Generous cargo capacity

Cons
Engine is underpowered
Modest tow rating limits maximum utility

The 2021 Hyundai Tucson's #9 ranking is based on its score within the Compact SUVs category. Currently the Hyundai Tucson has a score of 7.7 out of 10, which is based on our evaluation of 29 pieces of research and data elements using various sources

Pros

Long warranty

Cons
Sluggish acceleration

Hyundai is gearing up for an all-new Tucson to bow for the 2022 model year, so in the meantime it's making almost no changes to the 2021 model. In fact, the only thing that's different this year is color choices. Black Noir Pearl has been replaced by Ash Black, Gemstone Red has been replaced by Red Crimson, and Sage Brown has been replaced by Coliseum Gray.

Pros
Upscale styling,
simple interior layout,
smooth ride.

Cons
Not particularly spacious,
not particularly efficient,
lengthy warranty not transferrable.
