Pros & cons

Hyundai Tucson GLS

Roomy 5-seat layout and a large 620 L trunk suit growing families and road trips.
Efficient for its class at 7.5 L/100 km to help keep running costs in check.
Balanced everyday performance (150 hp, 0–100 km/h in 9.5 s) for city and highway use.
Good value in its segment around 30,000.
Not aimed at performance driving; 0–100 km/h in 9.5 s won’t thrill enthusiasts.
If you want a premium-feeling choice, this model isn’t positioned for that.
Only five seats; no third-row option for larger families.
No rated electric driving range listed, and 7.5 L/100 km may not satisfy ultra-efficiency shoppers.
