How much does the 2016 Hyundai Tucson cost?

Prices have softened 4.61% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,625 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2016 Hyundai Tucson a good car?

With a 3.83/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating, the 2016 Hyundai Tucson lands in appealing territory without being flawless.

The model scores 10/10 across Look and feel and Safety.

Drivers consistently praise the smooth ride, comfortable interior, and reliability, and many also like the cooled seats and panoramic roof. The Tucson’s redesigned cabin and broad appeal fit well if you want a compact crossover that emphasizes comfort, practicality, and available safety and infotainment tech over sporty driving. About 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which adds some shopping flexibility.

Is the 2016 Hyundai Tucson reliable?

The 2016 Hyundai Tucson is described as historically durable, and its strong warranty coverage supports that reputation.

User feedback points to reliability as a strength, with owners appreciating the Tucson’s dependable feel and long-term appeal. The expert review also notes that Hyundai’s warranty and roadside assistance coverage help reduce ownership stress, and that the SUV is relatively affordable to own. At the same time, the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is singled out as a possible source of owner complaints over time, so you should pay close attention to how the transmission behaves on a used example.

What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Hyundai Tucson?

At 62.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report so you can separate clean examples from cars with prior damage or repeated claims. After that, prioritize a thorough inspection of the body, interior, and mechanical condition, since the best used Tucson will be the one that feels well cared for rather than simply well equipped. Pay extra attention to how the transmission and brakes behave during a test drive.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SE is the base trim, while Sport and Limited add more equipment and features. The Limited stands out for its larger 8-inch touchscreen, navigation, premium sound system, dual-zone automatic climate control, and Blue Link connected services, while the Sport and Limited also get a hands-free power liftgate. The base trim leaves out several of those convenience and tech upgrades.
• Powertrain: Every version except the base SE uses a turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine paired with a 7-speed EcoShift dual-clutch automated manual transmission. The setup delivers strong midrange pull once it gets going, but low-speed response can feel delayed.
• Safety package: Every Tucson includes a standard reversing camera. Sport and Limited models add blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert and lane-change assist. The Limited and its optional Ultimate Package are required for automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and the Ultimate Package also adds lane-departure warning.
• Infotainment: Limited models get an 8-inch touchscreen with navigation, a premium sound system, and Blue Link connected services. Blue Link includes SOS emergency calling and automatic collision notification for the first year, with remote access features available through upgrades.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA estimates 24 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined. The expert review also recorded a 24.7 mpg test average.

Which 2016 Hyundai Tucson trim should I buy?

The 2016 Hyundai Tucson is offered in 4 trim levels: SE, Eco, Sport, and Limited.

Here's the short version:

• SE: This is the entry point, and it makes the Tucson’s redesign accessible, but it is also the trim most likely to leave you wanting more equipment. Choose it if your priority is getting into the model at the lowest cost and you can live without the richer feature content found higher up.
• Eco: This trim gives you a step up from the base model while staying focused on value and everyday usability. It makes sense if you want a better-equipped Tucson without jumping all the way to the more feature-heavy upper trims.
• Sport: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it adds meaningful convenience and safety content, including the hands-free liftgate and blind-spot warning system with rear cross-traffic alert and lane-change assist. It’s the trim to target if you want a strong balance of equipment and price.
• Limited: This is the most feature-rich version, with the 8-inch touchscreen, navigation, premium audio, dual-zone climate control, and Blue Link services. Choose it if you want the most upscale Tucson experience and are willing to pay for it.

The Limited and its optional Ultimate Package are also the trims tied to automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and the Ultimate Package adds lane-departure warning.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Hyundai Tucson?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,625 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.61% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 62.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $11,202, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2016 Hyundai Tucson's resale value?

The current average of $11,469 sits slightly below last year's $12,023.

That softer pricing suggests the Tucson has become more approachable for used buyers, but it also means future sellers may need to stay competitive on condition and equipment. If you own a clean, well-maintained example with desirable features, you should be in a better position than sellers of higher-mileage or accident-history vehicles. For a future resale, the strongest examples will likely be the ones with clear records and the right trim content.

Is the 2016 Hyundai Tucson safe?

The 2016 Hyundai Tucson is a Top Safety Pick from IIHS and earns five-star ratings from NHTSA.

It earns a 10/10 safety score from our experts.

Every 2016 Tucson comes with a standard reversing camera, and Sport and Limited models add blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert and lane-change assist. The Limited and its optional Ultimate Package are required for automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and the Ultimate Package also adds lane-departure warning. The expert review also notes that the automatic emergency braking system is effective.

Should I buy a 2016 Hyundai Tucson or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2016 if:

• 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 62.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.61% compared with last year.
• The 2016 model year stands out because it was completely redesigned, bringing stronger styling, a more functional interior, and top safety ratings.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned Tucson with strong safety credentials, broad appeal, and a lower used price than it had a year ago, the 2016 is the right place to focus. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you can still shop the cleanest, best-maintained examples and prioritize the trims with the equipment you’ll actually use.
