SUV’s, crossovers, whatever you want to call them, they are insanely popular. And there were a lot of new challengers in this market this year. I reviewed challengers from Mazda, Jeep, Hyundai this year. But in my opinion Hyundai has a winner in the form of the 2016 Hyundai Tucson. I reviewed the Limited trim level and found it to be a vehicle that brings a healthy amount of luxury, performance, fuel economy, and capability to the table for a competitive price. It stood out to such a degree over its competition that my wife and I bought one. Though as I noted in the follow up on my review that my “welcome lights” which is Hyundai speak for door handle lights that light up when you approach the Tucson didn’t work. Hyundai apparently forgot to add that feature to vehicles made before September 2015 and they are working on a fix for that, one which I hope comes sooner rather than later. But that doesn’t detract from how good this vehicle is as it shows that the fact that the Hyundai Genesis won an IT Nerd Award last year wasn’t a fluke. And that Hyundai has gone from the car company that made the Pony to a car company that is coming out with products that are game changers. Quite simply, the 2016 Hyundai Tucson is a very deserving winner of the best SUV of 2015.
