The Hyundai Tucson follows the Hyundai mantra of value. The Korean car company is known for offering car buyers more features for a lower price. The 2009 Tucson is not an exception. It does lag behind the leading competitors in terms of power and performance even with a six-cylinder engine. But it scores very high in safety and crash tests. This 4-door entry in the 2WD and 4WD SUV category comes with 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and 10-year/100,000-mile drive train warranty.

The 5-passenger Tucson is available in three trims, the GLS, SE, and Limited variants and comes in either front- or four-wheel drive configurations. Two engines are equipped on this SUV, a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder or a 2.7 liter V6. The 2.0 liter 16-valve produces 140 horsepower at 6,000 RPM while the 2.7 liter 24-valve delivers 173 horsepower at 6,000 RPM. The engine power is translated to speed by a 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive or 4-speed Shiftronic automatic transmission also with overdrive. Both engines, though, continue to disappoint the car aficionado. Power seems lacking, but it is enough for most buyers.
The 5-speed manual transmission is fitted on the 2.0l 4-cylinder GLS 2WD while the 4-speed automatic is configured on the 2.0l 4-cylinder GLS 4WD, 2.7l V6 SE 2WD, 2.0l 4-cylinder Limited 2WD, 2.7l V6 Limited 2WD, 2.7l V6 SE 4WD, and the 2.7l V6 Limited 4WD. Fuel efficiency is achieved at 20/26 mpg city/highway on the 16-valve engine, 18/24 mpg for the 24-valve 2WD, and 18/23 mpg on the 4WD variants.
