The Hyundai Tucson is Hyundai's compact crossover SUV, named after Tucson, Arizona, and sold in the United States since the 2005 model year. It has always been developed alongside the Kia Sportage, sharing platforms and engines with its corporate cousin, and it slots below the Santa Fe in Hyundai's American SUV range. With more than seven million sold worldwide it is Hyundai's single best-selling nameplate, and in the U.S. it competes head-on with the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape, Nissan Rogue, Mazda CX-5 and Subaru Forester.
Four generations have reached America. The first-generation JM (2005–2009) was an Elantra-based crossover offered with a 2.0-liter four or a 2.7-liter V6. The second-generation LM (2010–2015), sold as the ix35 in Europe and Australia, moved to "fluidic sculpture" styling and four-cylinder power only. The third-generation TL (2016–2021) grew again, introduced a 1.6-liter turbo with a seven-speed dual-clutch, and was facelifted for 2019 with a 2.4-liter replacing the turbo. The fourth-generation NX4 (2022–present) is built in Montgomery, Alabama in a long-wheelbase form unique to North America, added conventional hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains for the first time, and was facelifted for 2025 with a new interior and a column-mounted gear selector.
