This year, Hyundai’s compact SUV undergoes a few minor esthetic changes to the front and tail ends. This five-seater still comes in GL, GLS and Limited versions, and remains true to its 2.0L and 2.4L engines that deliver 164 and 182 horsepower, respectively. The current version of the front-wheel drive Tucson, which dates from 2010, is competing against the new Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue and Toyota RAV4.
