It also borrows all the good stuff from the well-equipped Elite variant, counting LED headlights, auto-dimming mirror, and proximity key with push-button start, power tailgate, puddle lights and electronic park brake to name a few more.

There’s a lot to like about the Hyundai Tucson, mainly in this top-shelf guise. It still seems great from approximately any angle, drives well and comes with more kit (as well as the latest safety systems) than you could ever want.

But we’re not persuaded enough that the Highlander trim offers the best bang for buck in the Tucson range. We’d propose the Elite does a better job of that, at the same time as saving just over six grand. The well-liked choice, although, is the Active X auto, which still acquires ample of luxury features for six grand less than the Elite – and the smaller size wheels would unquestionably offer a more comfortable ride.
