The 2020 Hyundai Tucson does all the things a swell-selling crossover SUV should do. Its great value, strong safety record, and impressive standard features stand out for buyers.
Available from value-oriented to fully-loaded models—SE, SEL, Ultimate, and Limited–the 2020 Tucson features recently-updated styling that echoes the rest of the Hyundai lineup, and while the angular LED running lights and new grille do work on this crossover body. The interior material quality is good and standard features are impressive. A 2.0-liter inline-4 is the base engine while a more powerful 2.4-liter version is available, and the Tucson can be had with all-wheel drive across the range, while front-wheel drive comes standard. The Tucson sports a comfortable ride quality that stands out among competitors. Slightly smaller than its competition, the 2020 Tucson seats four adults comfortably, and features 30 cubic feet of storage space in the rear. With the 2020 Tucson, Hyundai includes standard features like a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Tucson also offers a full suite of active safety tech right out of the box. With great crash test scores and a Top Safety Pick+ award from the IIHS last year, the Tucson is a safe bet for a family SUV, available at Group 1 Hyundai. 2020 Hyundai Tucson Styling The 2020 Hyundai Tucson is handsome by any account. The interior design wears updated styling to match the rest of the Hyundai lineup, the Santa Fe wears somewhat angular LED running lights and an upright grille. The overall design is generically handsome. Subtle plastic body cladding is adventure-aspiring, but it’s also not as elegant as the likes of the Mazda CX-5. Inside, the cabin is simple, but we’ve got no qualms with the material quality or functionality. A standard touchscreen infotainment system is front and centre, flanked by useful buttons and knobs and featuring clear displays throughout. Finished in a sea of black and grey trim. 2020 Hyundai Tucson PerformanceFront-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is available on the Tucson, as is the case with almost all compact crossovers. A 2.0-liter inline-4 is standard, as well as a 6-speed automatic transmission, but with just 161 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque, acceleration and fuel economy are both thoroughly average. A 2.4-liter inline-4 is available on the top trim and includes 181 hp and 175 lb-ft. The Tucson boasts impressive ride quality even in base trim, and this small SUV excels at long road trips over some rivals. A drive mode selector allows for sport mode that stiffens the steering and increases the timing of downshifts, which would be our choice for the way the Tucson should be set up as default. 2020 Hyundai Tucson Comfort & QualityThe 2020 Hyundai Tucson is smaller than rivals but includes decent passenger and cargo space regardless. With good material quality and a quiet cabin, we give it 7 out of 10 here. The Tucson sits almost directly in between the smaller Kona and the larger Santa Fe. Six-way adjustable front seats are comfortable and supportive, while 8-way power adjustment for both front chairs is available. In the rear, two adults will fit comfortably once they’ve reclined the back cushion slightly. Knee and headroom are better than expected. Behind the rear seats, the Tucson features 30.1 cubic feet of cargo space, which grows to 61.9 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat. Fit and finish are impressive as is the case with all Hyundais these days, featuring plenty of buttons and switches with clear displays. Hard plastics can be found throughout but are inoffensive, and the top-tier Limited model features leather upholstery and upgraded trim pieces. 2020 Hyundai Tucson SafetyThe 2020 Hyundai Tucson features some standard active safety features and great crash test scores. The 2020 Hyundai Tucson gets good crash test scores and standard active safety equipment, making it one of the safest compact crossovers. For 2020, the Tucson’s five-star safety rating is renewed from the NHTSA, and while updated figures aren’t available from the IIHS, the new model hasn’t changed, so we expect it to receive the Top Safety Pick+ award yet again. Starting with last year’s model, the Tucson offers standard automatic emergency braking and active lane control. Sport and Ultimate models get pedestrian detection, while the Limited model comes with adaptive cruise control with stop and go. All Tucsons but the base SE feature standard blind-spot monitors as well, and a surround-view camera is available on the Limited and Ultimate models at a higher cost. Outward vision isn’t great to the rear, but the Tucson’s not alone in that regard. 2020 Hyundai Tucson FeaturesThe 2020 Hyundai Tucson has no shortage of trim levels in lieu of multiple options packages. All Tucsons come with Hyundai’s excellent 5-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty as well as 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage In base SE form, the Tucson includes the less powerful 2.0-liter inline-4, cloth upholstery, air conditioning, a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cruise control, and automatic emergency braking as well as active lane control. We recommend starting with the Tucson Value trim, which adds heated front seats, satellite and HD radio, blind-spot monitors, keyless ignition, and an 8-way power driver’s seat. It’s our pick in the lineup. The Tucson SEL model includes the larger and more powerful 2.4-litre engine, as well as automatic climate control and extra USB charging ports among other features. The Sport model has 8-speaker Infinity audio system, LED headlights, wireless phone charging, and styling flourishes. It’s a similar story with the Limited model, which includes power front seats, leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, and classier styling elements. If you do decide to go all-in on a Tucson, the Ultimate model gets cooled front seats, heated rear seats, and an upgraded 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation. Adaptive cruise control is also standard, and a surround-view camera system is optional. All-wheel drive is optional across the range, while front-wheel drive is standard. 2020 Hyundai Tucson Fuel EconomyThe 2020 Hyundai Tucson makes use of less powerful 4-cylinder engines. The base 2.0-liter inline-4 manages figures of 23 mpg city, 28 highway, 25 combined with front-wheel drive and 22/25/23 mpg with all-wheel drive. The more powerful 2.4-liter inline-4 that’s standard on the SEL trim and above makes very similar numbers, managing 22/28/25 mpg in front-wheel-drive form, while all-wheel-drive models get 21/26/23 mpg.
