What Features in the 2015 Hyundai Tucson Are Most Important? It earned a four-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and was rated "poor" in several categories by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which is likely to give potential buyers pause. The most concerning point of comparison is the Tucson's crash-test scores. While its passenger room is more generous than that of its competitors, its maximum cargo capacity is just 55.8 cubic feet, significantly less than the Escape (67.8), RAV4 (73.4), and Rogue (70.0). The Tucson is also a vehicle that maximizes passenger room at the expense of cargo space. It lags behind others in the compact SUV class, topping out at 23/28/25 mpg city/highway/combined with front-wheel drive. The Tucson boasts the smooth ride of a larger vehicle, but unfortunately also has the fuel economy of one. The Tucson boasts a clean design with lots of appeal it lacks the edginess of the Ford Escape and the tough looks of the Nissan Rogue, but will undoubtedly hit the styling sweet spot for some buyers. How Does the 2015 Hyundai Tucson Compare to Other Compact SUVs? The base GLS trim of the Tucson is newly available with a Popular Entertainment Package, which adds automatic headlights, an audio system with a 4.3-inch touchscreen, a backup camera and an eight-way power driver's seat. Trim levels include GLS, SE and Limited, all of which are available with front- or all-wheel drive. The 2015 Hyundai Tucson is a five-seat compact SUV that competes with the Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue and Subaru Forester.
