What to check on the Tucson

Owners filed 399 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, power train and unknown or other; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.

What the specs mean

Its 1.6L 4-cylinder turbo drives through a 7-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Its combined rating is 8.8 L/100 km, which means roughly 26 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $136.40 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,500 a year for 15,000 miles.

What to expect from the Tucson

Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.

Who the Tucson suits

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

A longer test drive

A week with the Tucson answers more than any brochure. Drive the Tucson on your commute before you commit to it. If the Tucson is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Narrowing it down

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
