The Hyundai Tucson was introduced in 2005. The Tuscon produces acceptable gas mileage for a compact crossover SUV, but falls a bit short of the competition (i.e.: Jeep Compass and Patriot, Honda CR-V, and Chevy HHR), when it comes to highway gas mileage ratings.
The Tucson GLS is equipped with with a 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine rated at 140 horsepower (HP), while the Tucson SE and Limited are fitted with a 2.7 liter V-6 rated at 173 HP. A 2.0 liter common rail turbo-diesel (CRDi) four-cylinder engine is available internationally in the Tucson, but not in the USA.

Note: the EPA tweaked their testing procedure, starting with the 2008 model year, with the end result being that the 2008 MPG estimates are now lower than previous years. As always, YMMV.
