The Hyundai Tucson straddles the line between the crowded small crossover car segment and the rapidly growing gaggle of compact crossovers. It's a few inches shorter than popular crossovers like the Honda CR-V, the Toyota RAV4, and Hyundai's own Santa Fe Sport. Yet the Tucson is larger than the new breed of subcompact crossovers like the Honda HR-V and the Mazda CX-3. In addition to combining the utility and relative interior room of small crossovers with the fuel efficiency and parking ease of compact crossovers, the all-new 2016 Hyundai Tucson Limited AWD also stands out for its sleek new styling, roomy interior, and energetic turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. It also boasts the best active safety in the segment.
