2014 Hyundai Tucson: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 Hyundai Tucson gets a mid-cycle update led by new direct-injection 2.0-liter and 2.4-liter engines. It is a substantial update rather than a carryover year, with a revised trim lineup and refreshed front lighting as well.
About the 2014 Hyundai Tucson
2nd generation (2010-2015), facelift/update year.
Hyundai positioned the Tucson as a compact crossover for people who wanted SUV usefulness without a bulky feel. Its core appeal was sharp styling, easy parking, a roomy cabin for its footprint, and a strong list of convenience features for the money. Compared with larger rivals, the Tucson leaned more on maneuverability, everyday comfort, and value than on maximum cargo space or rugged capability.
The GLS becomes the practical entry trim, with a 2.0-liter engine, Bluetooth audio streaming, reclining rear seats, and 17-inch alloy wheels. The new SE pairs the stronger 182-hp 2.4-liter engine with heated front seats, a power driver’s seat, and a touchscreen rearview camera. Limited adds leather seating, push-button start, dual-zone climate control, and 18-inch wheels.
