    The Tucson, part of Hyundai's lineup since 2005, is a small SUV with seating up to 5. The Tucson provides exceptional fuel efficiency for its class, saving your wallet and the environment. With optional all-wheel drive (AWD), it can easily handle mud, snow, and sand. The Hyundai Tucson has some real zest, surpassing typical horsepower for its class. Hyundai offers a 5-year, 60,000-mile basic warranty, and a 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty on its lineup.

    The 2022 Hyundai Tucson is average compared to all vehicles.

    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2022 Hyundai Tucson has a score of 79, implying a 0.044% chance of driver death (3.9% chance of injury). If equipped with optional advanced driver safety features, the chance of death falls to 0.038%, and the chance of injury falls to 3.4%.

    We estimate that the 2022 Hyundai Tucson has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0438% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 4.9973%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0438% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 4.9973% chance of being injured.

    Compared to the average vehicle, the 2022 Hyundai Tucson is 6% less likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other suvs, the 2022 Hyundai Tucson is 8% more likely to result in a fatal accident.

    2022 Hyundai Tucson offers AEB optionally. With AEB, the vehicle lifetime fatality chance drops by 14%.

    Active safety features can substantially reduce the risks of harm to vehicle occupants by preventing severe accidents. An active safety system that is standard on the 2022 Hyundai Tucson is Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection (FDA-PED). Optional safety features on the 2022 Hyundai Tucson which we recommend include Lane Departure Warning System and Blind-Spot View Monitoring.

    A safety feature that may make a vehicle safer, even if not at the forefront of technological advances, should still be considered. Optional side mirror turn signals alert others of your intention to turn or switch lanes allowing them to react accordingly, which can prevent accidents caused by not seeing a vehicle in the blind spot.

    And it is about as safe as many comparable models.
