The 2016 Hyundai Tuscon SE Offers Substance with Value




Hyundai is very excited about their upgraded 2016 Tuscon.  While most of the attention goes to the "higher end" versions, the Eco, Sport, and Limited packages, the SE provides great value, even without some of the bells and whistles.

The 175 horsepower 4-cylinder is just a slight step down from the turbo-charged engine in the more expensive versions, but not too much.  Just 11 hp less than the turbo models.

The interior of the Tuscon SE is also surprisingly attractive, comfortable, and quiet for the more basic model.  A nice, straight-forward infotainment system provides all of the functionality you need without overdoing it with excessive controls.  There is plenty of cargo and storage space, with an adjustable cargo floor in the rear that you can adjust for a deeper well.




While other manufacturers tend to make their more "base" models look and feel cheap, Hyundai has done a great job with the 2016 Tuscon SE, and all with an MSRP of just under $24,000
