The HYUNDAI TUCSON (2004-10) 5DR SUV 4WD 2.0 CRTD CDX AUTO4 is a compact family SUV, offering a higher seating position and five-door practicality rather than the feel of a conventional hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable early SUVs, appealing to buyers who want useful space and four-wheel drive without moving up to a larger 4x4. Checks at mycarcheck.com have recorded 166 look-ups covering 74 different VINs, a useful sample of real-world interest. The average private-sale valuation is £1,000, with an average recorded mileage of 124,000 and annual use of 4,000 miles; cars checked had averaged 5.5 previous keepers. This makes condition and history especially important when comparing examples. The diesel automatic suits relaxed trips, and four-wheel drive helps on slippery roads. Compared with the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, the Tucson is a practical budget choice; check service history and gearbox operation carefully before buying.
