Excellent four door pickup
The Hyundai Tucson is a sports-utility (SUV) 4-door that comes in a few different models: SE, SEL, SEL Convenience, and XRT. It is available in Front-Wheel-Drive (FWD) or All-Wheel-Drive (AWD). Depending on an individual's price range, it is an sleek, compact, yet spacy vehicle. I personally own the XRT model, which truly gives you the best bank for your buck. The XRT trim has 18-inch alloy wheels, AWD, and a 2.5 Liter 187 HP V4 Engine, with the ability for a hatchback at the top and tow capability. Even if you aren't a big kayaker or traveler, the XRT trim is all leather, so during big weather events, you can safely keep you car clean and neat. I personally test drove the Hyundai Tucson SEL and XRT, and while you may not feel a difference in pickup, you will feel like its worth it. If you aren't big into sport vehicles, I would recommend the SEL as its very similar to pickup as the XRT model provides, just more tradtional seating. Of course, this will depend on a person's budget and need, but I think these two models are very comparable in quality. Longevity, my family used to own Toyota and Chevrolet models, but since Hyundai's re-development and commitment to quality and reliability (plus marketing you could say), we have not stopped owning Hyundai models (2017 Santa Fe Sport, 2020 Santa Fe, 2025 Palisade, and now a 2025 Tucson XRT). My only comment would be about the re-branding of the Santa Fe models, as they do not in my opinion look as good, which to me, is one of the reasons why I went with the current Tucson lineup, but that is again my personal opinion, so take this review with a grain of salt! But overall, excellent vehicles for a family of four who cannot afford the bigger V6 4 door SUVs, very compact but spacious.
