2026 Hyundai Tucson
2026 Hyundai
TUCSON
Following 2025’s substantial Tucson refresh, Hyundai’s best-selling model returned for 2026 with additional enhancements. While last year’s update sharpened this compact crossover’s looks with a reworked front fascia, new lighting signatures, fresh wheel designs, and an updated cabin layout centered around a panoramic curved display, the changes for this model year were more minor: The SEL Convenience changed its name to SEL Premium to better reflect its features and amenities, and the adventure-ready XRT became eligible for a terrain management feature with selectable modes for mud, snow, and sand.
Shop this model against: Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, Mazda CX-5
