Reviewers are impressed with the 2015 Hyundai Tucson's easy maneuverability. They agree that the Tucson’s suspension is firmer than that of some rivals, and while some think it compromises ride comfort, others say it glides over rough roads with ease. Test drivers say the Tucson's transmission delivers fluid, timely shifts.
The base 2015 Hyundai Tucson is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 164 horsepower and is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. A 182-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is available. Base models achieve an EPA-estimated 23/29 mpg city/highway, which is on par with the estimates of most SUVs in the class.
Reviewers complain that the base Tucson is slow, and that its engine lacks power for highway passing. They agree that the more powerful four-cylinder engine provides quicker acceleration, and a competitive amount of power. A few reviewers say the Tucson’s transmission offers quick, fluid shifts.
With its compact size and tight turning radius, automotive journalists say the Tucson offers the easy maneuverability of a small car. Reviewers mention that the Tucson’s ride is a bit more firm than that of some rivals. Some say the firm ride compromises ride comfort, while others think it still remains comfortable over most road imperfections. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is available.
