Hyundai’s Tucson is one of the few SUV’s that offers exceptional ride quality. The newly upgraded Tucson doesn’t lean off too much while taking sharp turns and maintains the bond with the road, thanks to the well-tuned suspension.

However, when it comes to the handling, even after all the enhancements, it’s still not the best in the class and needs further improvement. In fact, the only area where Hyundai Tucson lacks is the poor response of the steering wheel. It feels light and not well composed as per the size of the Tucson.
