Leatherhead, 29th October 2025 – The Hyundai TUCSON, already a favourite among new car buyers, has now earned a reputation as one of the UK’s top pre-owned choices, with What Car? naming it Britain’s Best Used Family SUV in its 2025 Used Car Awards.
Celebrated for its winning combination of practicality, quality, and driving enjoyment, the TUCSON impressed the expert panel at What Car?, standing out in a fiercely competitive SUV category. Its appeal lies not only in its spacious and well-appointed interior but also in its engaging drive and broad range of efficient powertrains—all at a highly attractive price point on the used market.
Mark Pearson, Used Cars Editor at What Car?, commented: “If interior space is high on your list of priorities, the family-friendly Hyundai TUCSON is well worth a look. Four tall adults will have plenty of room, and the boot is cavernous. Its interior quality impresses, too. On top of that, it’s good to drive, there are frugal hybrids, and it comes with a confidence-inspiring reliability record. The fact that this immensely appealing family SUV should also be such great value when bought used just seals the deal for us.”
Since its 2021 launch, the TUCSON has been a consistent presence in the UK’s new car top-sellers list. In 2024 alone, it accounted for 35% of the 91,800 Hyundai vehicles sold across the country. The SUV is offered with a 160PS T-GDI petrol engine, alongside 48V mild hybrid, full hybrid, and plug-in hybrid variants, and has won accolades from leading automotive media including Top Gear, Auto Express, and Carbuyer.
For buyers seeking assurance and quality in a pre-owned TUCSON, Hyundai offers a wide range of Hyundai Promise and Hyundai Approved Used models online, starting from around £10,000 at used.hyundai.co.uk. Hyundai Promise vehicles are no older than 36 months and carry fewer than 60,000 miles, plus a minimum 24-month warranty, extendable to five years. Standard Approved Used cars, with under 80,000 miles, come with the remainder of the manufacturer’s warranty or alternative retailer-supplied coverage, and all models include at least 12 months of Roadside Assistance.
Ashley Andrew, President of Hyundai & Genesis UK, said: “The TUCSON has proven to be a thoroughly desirable SUV for tens of thousands of new car buyers over a number of years, so it is no surprise that its many attributes are equally appealing to those in the market for a pre-owned car, as evidenced by What Car? naming it Best Used Family SUV of 2025. It’s stylish, enjoyable to drive, and superb value, all backed up by the Hyundai Promise approved used car programme.”
With its blend of space, style, reliability, and affordability, the Hyundai TUCSON continues to set the benchmark for family SUVs—whether new or used.
