Hyundai Tucson TL (3rd Generation)

2016–2021 · TL · suv

Third-gen Tucson became Hyundai's best-selling SUV of the 2010s on the strength of value and warranty. US lineup ran the 2.0L Nu MPI (164 hp) and the 1.6L Gamma turbo (175 hp) paired to a 7-speed DCT. A 2019 facelift dropped the DCT and turbo, replacing the lineup with the 2.4L Theta II (181 hp). AWD optional throughout. Built at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama.

Watch out: REAL ISSUE: The 2019-2021 facelift adoption of the 2.4L Theta II GDI dragged the Tucson into the same rod-bearing recall pattern as the Sonata and Santa Fe. The pre-facelift 1.6T DCT has its own DCT clunking and hesitation complaints, but it sidesteps the Theta family pattern. Check NHTSA before any purchase.
