The 2021 Hyundai Tucson has been released and has a starting price of $24,885. The 2021 Tucson can go from 0-60 in 8.8 seconds making it one of the fastest SUVs on the market. You can expect to get 24-28 mpg depending on if your are driving in the city or highway. Talk about a lot in one package! The time has finally come for Hyundai’s 2021 Tucson to be a part of your garage. While it may not offer as many premium options and materials as its siblings, the Tucson offers a variety of stylish interior and a smooth ride. Buyers get to choose between a 164-hp 2.0-liter or a 181-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with either front- or all-wheel drive. Coming in at a starting price of $24,885, Hyundai’s Tucson is a great all-around compact SUV for those who need the basics with a modern touch. Engine & Performance This year’s model is offered in two different engine types. First, a 164-hp 2.0-liter spitting out an average of 150lbs of torque. Second, a 181 hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine outputting 181lbs. Both have been tested to move the Tucson at a standstill form 0-60mph in 8.8 seconds. Making for a pretty strong number for the value of the car. While the handling isn’t the best, it still provides a sharp, responsive ride when turning corners in a city setting. The phenomenal suspension pairs with high-performance brake calipers and a weighted steering wheel to provide a “sporty” experience that soaks up all the harsh environmental factors, which is great for daily driver use if you happen to have a ton of potholes or beat-up roads near your area. Fuel Economy & Pricing Surprisingly for a crossover SUV, the fuel economy for Hyundai’s new Tucson is nothing to rave about. The EPA has rated the Tucson to be capable of 23mpg in the city and 28 on the highway, although, we find that it offers a modest 26 in the city and 29 (average) on the highway during our tests. Overall, they are not crazy impressive numbers, but it still beats many of their competitors while offering a solid starting price point.
