Awards and Accolades

• Intellichoice and AutoPacific honored the Tucson with a 2009 Motorist Choice Award in the Compact Crossover SUV category for its top scores in ownership satisfaction and overall value
• Motor Trend’s Truck Trends had this to say about the 2010 Tucson: “There will be no confusing the new Tucson with the outgoing model. The styling has been radically altered to fit Hyundai's new ‘fluidic sculpture’ design motif and features major changes to the sheetmetal all around. The most noticeable changes are to the front end, where the current Tucson's bug-eyed styling is gone in favor of pulled-back headlights, sharp creases and Hyundai's corporate hexagonal grille. Changes to the front and rear fascias as well as the side skirts make the Tucson look lower and more car-like, making it more like a crossover and less like an SUV, as is the style these days.”
• AutoGuide.com said, “The new Tucson is an example of what Hyundai calls its new ‘fluidic’ design language with its sweeping, curved lines. Hyundai lowered the overall height of the new Tucson while still promising extra legroom and headroom. A new dual-panel panoramic sunroof with ultraviolet blocking also works to create a feeling of spaciousness.”
