What Hyundai Tucson do most buyers choose?

The Hyundai Tucson years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2023.

Higher-volume model years tend to be the most popular because they give you more inventory to compare, more pricing spread to shop, and more chances to find the trim and condition you want. They also usually sit close to the sweet spot between newer features and used-car value.

What is the Hyundai Tucson's resale value?

Most Tucson model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want to stretch your budget. The biggest drops are concentrated in several newer and mid-cycle years, while a few recent models are changing only slightly. That pattern suggests there are still opportunities to find strong value across much of the lineup.

The 2024 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2024, 2017, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
