Start your own adventure
Nothing compares to the go-anywhere freedom of the 2008 Tucson.
With your choice of two powerful, yet fuel efficient, engines - a 2.0L, four-cylinder engine or a 2.7L, V6 engine - and the option of Four-Wheel Drive (4WD), (only on the V6), Tucson has the versatility and back country strength to handle any road you guide it down.
In the city it hardly goes unnoticed. Strong character lines flow from its clear halogen headlights to its bumper giving the 2007 Tucson just the right touch of urban elegance.
And as the winner of the J.D. Power and Associates award for Highest Ranked Compact Multi-Activity Vehicle in Initial Quality in the U.S., your 2008 Tucson is bound to leave a lasting impression no matter where your sense of adventure takes you.
