2015 Hyundai Tucson GLS

The 2015 Tucson is Hyundai's compact SUV, a practical pick that competes with the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. It's peppy around town and easy to maneuver, though you'll notice some road noise from the back at highway speeds. The cabin feels a bit snug for taller drivers, but the front seats adjust well and the center console is deep and handy. Owners report few major issues, though a few mention electrical gremlins like intermittent wipers or hatch problems after a couple of years. Its 2.0L I4 makes 164 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, which is plenty for daily driving and handles snow well. With all-wheel drive, this GLS is ready for slippery roads, and the trade-off is a modest 23 mpg combined.
