Nice Little Crossover: 2010 Hyundai Tucson

Hyundai has a completely redesigned Tucson crossover for 2010 and the upwardly mobile auto maker has set a starting price of $18,995. The Tucson will be launched with a 2.4-liter four cylinder that channels its power through your choice of 6-speed automatic or manual transmission, a smaller 2.0-liter four will come later in the year.

Further building on its reputation as an upscale budget brand, the base model trim GLS includes many standard items that would be pricey add-ons in a comparable Honda CR-V, and an upscale Limited trim with heated leather seats, dual zone temp control, automatic headlights, and some chrome trim and badging on the exterior to name just a few.

Add the Premium Package and you get a panoramic sunroof, navigation, rear-view camera and a premium audio system, all-wheel drive is available as well. All in, Hyundai will let you spec out its sleek yet chunky little crossover to $28,695.
