2020 Hyundai Tucson SE

The 2020 Tucson is Hyundai's compact SUV, slotting between the smaller Kona and the larger Santa Fe. The Tucson handles confidently and steers precisely, though the base engine feels leisurely under hard acceleration. The cabin offers generous passenger space and a straightforward infotainment system, but lower trims use hard plastics. Standard safety tech includes forward collision warning and lane keeping assist, with blind spot monitoring available. Hyundai's long warranty and strong predicted reliability ratings make the Tucson a low-stress ownership prospect. The SE is the entry-level Tucson, so you get the smaller 2.0L engine and cloth seats, but it still includes Apple CarPlay and forward collision warning. With 164 horsepower from the 2.0L I4 and a six-speed automatic, the SE moves the Tucson adequately for daily driving, and this example has all-wheel drive for extra traction. The SE rides on 17-inch alloy wheels and has a manual air conditioning system, which keeps the price down but means you skip the automatic climate control of higher trims.
