The Hyundai Tucson is the mid-size SUV most Saudi families end up shortlisting, and on our own inspection numbers it is one of the better-kept cars in its class. 7 are listed with us.
How much does a used Hyundai Tucson cost in Saudi Arabia?
Going by our closed Saudi sales, a 2024 Hyundai Tucson averaged SAR 83,000, a 2023 SAR 73,000, a 2021 SAR 60,000, a 2020 SAR 54,000, a 2019 SAR 44,000 and a 2017 SAR 38,000. The 2019 to 2021 stretch is where the curve flattens. Listings run from SAR 34,000 to SAR 89,500.
Which used Hyundai Tucson year should you buy?
2022 onwards if the budget allows, 2019 to 2020 if not. The Tucson changed shape completely for 2022, moving to a new platform with the angular body and the hidden daytime running lights in the grille; the 2016 to 2020 car is rounder, plainer and mechanically well proven. There is no bad year in this range, which is unusual.
Is a used Hyundai Tucson reliable in Saudi Arabia?
Better than its class on both counts we measure here. CarSwitch has now inspected more than 950 Tucsons in the Kingdom, and a mechanical fault in the engine, gearbox, suspension or steering shows on just 14%, against the 18% we would expect for SUVs of the same age and mileage here, and tyre problems on 3% against 5% expected for the same class. For a car that averages high mileage in this market, that is a strong record — and it means the differences between two Tucsons come down to service history rather than to the model.
Hyundai Tucson or Hyundai Kona?
The Hyundai Kona costs similar money, is smaller and shows more body repair, at 49% against the 41% expected for Saudi SUVs of the same age and mileage. The Chevrolet Captiva undercuts it but has a much weaker mechanical record — a fault on 24% against 10% expected for its class. The Hyundai Creta is the smaller, cheaper Hyundai and the right answer for city driving only.
What should you look over on a used Hyundai Tucson?
- Service record — on this model it is the main variable.
- Gearbox behaviour when cold, particularly on the newer shape.
- AC output at idle and on the move.
- Tyre age, not just tread depth.
Every used Hyundai Tucson we list in the Kingdom comes with its full CarSwitch inspection report.
