Hyundai Tucson

Base MSRP $19,595

The Tucson has a lot going for it when matched up against the competition. With either available engine, the Tucson has some of the highest combined and highway fuel economy ratings in its class. The Tucson has a longer wheelbase than its rivals yet has one of the shortest turning diameters, which keeps it settled and stable on the open road yet also maneuverable in tight spaces. Hyundai also notes that there is more interior space than in some vehicles a class larger and rear-seat legroom is class-leading.
