The Hyundai Tucson is back for more in 2012, as this compact crossover enters its seventh model year. Competitors include the Nissan Rogue, Honda CR-V, and Subaru Forester. Minimal changes have been made to the 2012 Tucson, as the car was recently redesigned.

Engine options for the Tucson include a 165-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 146 pounds-feet of torque and a more powerful, 176-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 168 pounds-feet of torque. The Tucson comes standard with front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is available for the GLS and Limited trims. You’ll get either a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel disc brakes are a standard feature.

Fuel economy numbers improve in 2012 for the Tucson. They clock in at 20-23 mpg in the city and 27-32 mpg highway depending on your drivetrain choices. Changes for 2012 include low-rolling-resistance tires and a new “Active Eco System” that modulates throttle response for more efficient driving.

For 2012, the Tucson’s body design remains mostly the same and it is still arguably the most stylish car in the compact SUV segment. All trims come standard with a body-color rear spoiler and remote keyless entry. Upgrading to a Limited trim of the Tucson will get you chrome door handles, silver roof side rails, automatic headlights, and front fog lights. A panoramic sunroof is optional.

One new interior feature for 2012 is an improved air-conditioning system. Standard features include power windows and locks, and an auxiliary audio input jack. The interior can be further spruced up by springing for options like heated front seats, a tilt/telescopic steering wheel, Bluetooth® connectivity, a touch-screen navigation system, and a rearview camera.

You’ll find six-standard airbags and rollover sensors in all trims of the Tucson, which is also an IIHS Top Safety Pick. Other security features include stability control, traction control, downhill brake control, and hill-start assist control.

With a base price under $20,000 and good fuel efficiency, the 2012 Hyundai Tucson is a solid all-around compact crossover that won’t break budgets.

*Incentive programs are subject to change at any time by the manufacturer.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
