2011 Hyundai Tucson : Summary, Prices, Specs

Summary The Hyundai Tucson is a compelling choice among compact SUVs. Tucson offers a lavishly equipped package, with all the engineering, comfort, and over-the-road advantages demanded of a contemporary crossover utility. Far from being just Korean, this vehicle is nothing less than world class, at a price slightly below world class. Ted West filed this report to NewCarTestDrive.com after his test drive of the Tucson upstate New York.
