Car reviews

Hyundai's ever burgeoning range of 4x4s has been joined by the Tucson, which aims to compete at the budget end of the Land Rover Freelander, Toyota RAV-4 and Nissan X-Trail market. To appeal to image-conscious buyers, they've made it more stylish than its two other 4x4s, the Terracan and Santa Fe. Given that its brief is unlikely to involve crossing deserts and tropical rainforests, it isn't exceptional off-road ability, but has enough ability to cope with muddy car parks and general towing. It doesn't bring anything new to the market, but does make a temptingly-priced and value-packed alternative.
