2020 Hyundai Tucson Reviews

The Hyundai Tucson Highlander is the top end of town for the Korean company's mid-size stalwart. When it launched a few years ago, it was the pacesetter – is still in the game?

The Hyundai Tucson is the brand's best-selling SUV, with almost 20,000 finding homes in Australia over the past 12 months. Have all those buyers made the right choice? Chesto puts the Tucson Active X to the long-term test to find out.

The new-generation Hyundai Tucson is still a way off, but in the meantime there are a lot of good reasons why the current tried-and-tested mid-size SUV could still be the perfect fit.

The Highlander sits at the top of the Tucson range with a list price starting from $46,500.There are two engines to choose from; a 1.6-litre turbo petrol making 130kW and 265Nm (all-wheel drive), and a 2.0-litre diesel with outputs of 136kW and 400Nm (all-wheel drive).Coming standard are 19-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, an eight-inch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, eight-speaker stereo, dual-zone climate control, proximity unlocking with push-button start, rear privacy glass, front and rear parking sensors, leather seats, panoramic sunroof, ventilated and heated front seats, auto tailgate, wireless charging, a heated steering wheel and power front passenger and driver's seats.  The Highlander scored the maximum five-star ANCAP rating when it was tested in 2016, and comes with blind spot warning, AEB which works at higher speeds and can detect pedestrians, rear cross-traffic alert and adaptive cruise control.

The Active X occupies the second rung of the Hyundai Tucson ladder. So what do you get for your money?
