Rating: 8.2 Bottom Line:
Hyundai is keen to what small SUV buyers seek, and has packed the all-new Tucson with the goods it needs to take on competition like the Honda CR-V. Smart looks and more room are also part of the package.
Pros: * Plenty of space * Great 6-speed automatic transmission * Efficient 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine Cons: * Interior uses cheap-feeling materials * Vague steering * 2.4-liter four cylinder sounds rough under load

With more and more consumers shying away from gas-hungry, full-size sport-utility vehicles, almost every carmaker is jumping on the crossover bandwagon, causing the segment to swell in number of offerings faster than, well, the SUV segment did back in the early '90s when fuel efficiency wasn't even a blip on most car buyers' radars. To keep its Tucson fresh amid a sea of capable competition, Hyundai has grown the smallish utility vehicle in overall size and given it an efficient 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine that's good for up to 31 mpg on the open road. Throw in optional all-wheel drive and the choice of a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission and the Tucson is well-worth the $18,995 base price.

Model Lineup
Like most CUVs, the 2010 Tucson is available only in 5-door trim with seating for five people. To keep things simple, Hyundai says there are only 10 buildable configurations for the new Tucson, with two real trim levels — GLS and Limited. In GLS guise, the Tucson comes with power steering, a tilt steering wheel, power windows and door locks and 17-inch steel wheels. The newest CUV from Hyundai also packs plenty of safety technology. Even in base GLS trim, the car comes with six airbags, anti-lock brakes and enough acronym-laden traction aids to make your head spin. If you can do without the leather interior touches of the Limited model, the GLS delivers plenty of safety at a remarkably low price point. For a little extra cash, Hyundai will let you outfit the Tucson GLS with features usually found on the more expensive Limited model. The Popular Equipment Package includes a telescoping, leather-wrapped steering wheel and Bluetooth hands-free calling. You can also add a Navigation Package complete with rearview camera for safety when backing up. Stepping up to Limited trim adds a few luxury amenities like power heated side-view mirrors, 18-inch alloy wheels, automatic climate control and plenty of leather inside. There's also significantly more brightwork outside, with chrome accents on the grille and door handles. More importantly, Bluetooth hands-free calling comes standard on the top-of-the-line Tucson. Though opting for the Limited trim will give you nearly all of the otherwise optional equipment on the spec sheet, buyers can spring for a Premium package. Along with a massive panoramic sunroof, you also get a good navigation system and premium audio.
