Used Car Check: Hyundai Tucson - A popular compact SUV with weaknesses
The Hyundai Tucson impresses with its spaciousness and equipment. However, those interested should pay attention to a fresh MOT sticker on their desired model.
Compact SUVs are popular, including as used vehicles. The used car market offers a wide selection, making it likely that nearly every potential buyer can find a suitable car on the used car portals. This applies to Hyundai's compact SUVs as well. The Tucson was introduced in 2004, and the fourth generation has been on the market since late 2020.
The third generation (from 2015 to 2020) is now in its prime used car age. According to TÜV main inspections, the Hyundai Tucson has a slight defect rate (without defects) that is slightly below the average for all inspected vehicles. Inspectors frequently criticize the functioning of the brakes, as well as the drive shafts and steering rack.
Oil leaks also appear to be an issue. The body and interior extend to a length of 4.48 meters, a seven-centimeter increase compared to the previous generation (ix35). The SUV is distinguished by a successful blend of clear lines and sturdy proportions. Designers placed particular emphasis on the interior design. When compared to the predecessor, higher-quality materials were used.
The construction is solid, and the spaciousness is enhanced, among other things, by the length increase.
