2005 Hyundai Tucson GLS Sport Utility Review

All-new SUV offers class-leading safety features.
Introduction
As the popularity of SUVs continues unabated, more people realize they don't need a large SUV and are opting for smaller models. Just a few years ago a small SUV was almost an oxymoron, then Toyota and Honda hit the market with the RAV4 and the CR-V, both of which became hits. Ford followed soon after with the Escape, which quickly became the top-selling small SUV.

Now Hyundai enters the fray with the very well equipped 2005 Tucson, offering a viable alternative to the established models.

As one would expect off a vehicle from Hyundai, the Tucson is attractively priced with the best warranty in the business. It's no barnstormer as far as performance goes but then neither are most of its competitors.

Tucson comes standard with an impressive list of safety features. Electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes, and traction control are all standard. Add to that six airbags, including side-impact airbags and curtain airbags designed to provide head protection for passengers in both rows. The Tucson is the lowest cost vehicle with that level of safety features.

Bigger is better? Many might disagree with this statement and the Hyundai Tucson sets out to prove the point. Next Page
