Tucson

The compact Hyundai Tucson "crossover" sport-utility vehicle debuts for 2005, and is essentially a slightly smaller and more basic alternative to Hyundai's Santa Fe . Still, it rides on a wheelbase that's longer than its competitors from Honda (the CR-V) and Toyota (the RAV4), and offers an available V-6 engine that neither can match. The Tuscon comes wrapped in muscular styling that's highlighted by deeply carved hood lines and a raked roofline. The vehicle's interior is well designed and includes a 60/40 split flat-folding rear seat to expand its cargo-carrying capabilities. A 140-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder powerplant is standard and can drive either the front or all four wheels via a five-speed manual or optional four-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift capability. GLS and LX trim levels include the Santa Fe 's 173-horsepower 2.7-liter V-6, but is available only with the automatic gearbox. Air conditioning, power windows and locks, keyless entry and alloy wheels come standard, with heated mirrors, a tire pressure monitor, leather seating, and upscale audio configurations on the options list.
